A clear process from initial assessment to ongoing executive oversight.

Every BlackBox C-Suite engagement starts with a one-month paid CLEAR assessment and then transitions into a right-sized monthly tier. This gives leadership immediate clarity, then sustained governance as the business grows.

Why this model works

Month one is a paid CLEAR assessment with a defined four-week plan Assessment outputs include executive findings, scored risks, and a prioritised roadmap Ongoing support is delivered through four monthly engagement tiers

1) One-month paid analysis: four-week CLEAR assessment plan

The first month is structured to evaluate delivery health, expose strategic risks, and provide an executive-level action plan.

Week 1

Leadership discovery: establish business context, goals, and critical decisions requiring immediate clarity.

Week 2

Technical environment review: assess architecture, ownership, technical debt pressure, and delivery constraints.

Week 3

Delivery friction mapping: identify blockers across people, process, vendors, and governance.

Week 4

Executive briefing and roadmap: present scored findings, priority risks, and a practical stabilisation path.
