Deliverables

  • Executive briefing on the seven-stage Context Supply Chain and maturity model

  • L0–L5 maturity scorecard with evidence notes and gap analysis
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap with recommended engagement scope and sequence

Detail

What you get, and what you do not

The assessment splits into two separately priced phases. Diagnose establishes what is true. Blueprint decides what to do about it. You can commission the first and decline the second — the diagnosis is a complete deliverable on its own.

The seven stages

  1. Sources — what content exists, who owns it, and whether it is current
  2. Structure — whether that content has machine-legible shape
  3. Semantics — whether terms mean one thing across systems
  4. Validation — whether anything checks the content before an agent reads it
  5. Retrieval — whether the right material is actually returned
  6. Agent Operations — whether behavior in production is observable
  7. Learning Loop — whether failures change the system

Capacity is genuinely limited to three engagements per quarter. This is a delivery constraint, not a sales device: the assessment is run by the practice lead, not staffed out.

Questions we are always asked

How does an engagement start?

A scoping call, then a written fixed-scope fixed-fee proposal. Most buyers start at the Token Economics Audit because it is approvable without a steering committee. Nothing requires you to enter at the bottom of the ladder — an executive briefing first is common when the funding decision is contested.

What system access do you need?

Assessment work is read-only: usage telemetry, a content sample, and time with the people who own the sources. Implementation access is scoped explicitly at the start of each quarter and is limited to the systems in that quarter's scope.

Who owns the deliverables?

You do. Reports, blueprints, runbooks and code produced in an engagement are yours outright. A blueprint you commission from us can be executed by your own engineers or by another partner — that is a deliberate property of how the ladder is priced, not a concession.
