Troubled program
An initiative has overrun, stalled, or quietly stopped delivering, and nobody inside can give a straight account of why.
Special Situations
When the AI issue is already consequential.
Rapid senior assessment when leadership needs a clear position quickly, and needs it from someone with no stake in how the situation got here.
Situations
What usually prompts the call.
Board concern
Directors have lost confidence in an AI position and want an assessment that does not come through management.
Failed vendor
A platform or partner has not delivered, and the organization has to decide between remediation, replacement, and dispute.
Public criticism
A decision involving AI has been challenged publicly and the response has to be both accurate and defensible.
Regulatory question
An agency has asked something the organization cannot yet answer with confidence.
Investor concern
Shareholders or a sponsor are questioning whether the AI thesis behind the plan still holds.
Workforce dispute
An automation or staffing decision has become contested inside the organization or in public.
Customer challenge
A major customer or partner is questioning how AI is being used in work that affects them.
Urgent strategic reversal
The organization is considering stopping, reversing, or substantially rewriting an AI commitment it has already made.
How this differs
Four things a contested matter requires.
Speed
Work begins within days. The first read on what is defensible arrives while options are still open.
Discretion
Findings go to whoever retained us and no further. Nothing is published, referenced, or used as marketing.
Independence
We did not build the program, sell the platform, or write the plan. The assessment is not protecting anyone's earlier decision.
Senior involvement
Dr. Jeffrey Allan does the interviews and forms the judgment. Urgent matters are not delegated.
What you get
A position, and the reasoning behind it.
- A rapid independent read on what actually happened
- A clear statement of what is defensible and what is not
- The options still available, with the consequence of each
- The questions the organization should expect next
- Board, investor, regulator, or public-response material where needed
- Direct presentation to the audience that has to be satisfied
How quickly do you need a position?
