A plan with costs, owners, and a list of what to stop.

Written so your team or any other vendor can execute it.

  1. What goes in

    InterviewsSystem inventoryWhere time goes

    How the work actually runs today, from the people doing it and the systems they use.

  2. Diagnosis

    One written account of what works and what it costs you.

    in writing

  3. A sequenced roadmap

    Each initiative carries a rough cost, a named owner, and a position in the order.

    now · next · later

  4. Dependencies made explicit

    Each step starts where the one before it ends, so nothing waits on work that has not happened.

  5. Stop funding

    The list of things worth stopping, which is the part clients remember.

  6. Yours either way

    Nothing on the roadmap depends on us being the ones who build it.

One diagnosis, a sequenced and costed roadmap, and a list of what to stop funding.
  • Fixed price per phase
  • You own the code
  • 2–4 week average launch

What changes

What an honest roadmap changes.

Four things separate a plan that survives the operating review from a deck.

A strategy deck nobody can act on.
A sequence with owners and dependencies.
Initiatives funded without a number.
Every initiative carries a rough cost.
Nothing is ever stopped.
A named list of what to stop funding.
The plan needs the consultant to work.
Any competent team can execute it.

What we build here

Four things live under business consulting.

Each one ends in a document your operating review can use.

  1. Digital transformation

    One function moves from manual work to a system each quarter, with the old process running beside the new one until live work proves it.

    Pick the first function →

  2. Technology consulting

    You get a written opinion on an architecture, a build-or-buy call or a vendor shortlist, with the trade-offs and the switching costs set out.

    Get the decision in writing →

  3. Process optimisation

    Every process is timed and mapped before anything is automated, which separates the few steps worth building from the many a checklist fixes sooner.

    Time a process end to end →

  4. Technology strategy

    A three-year roadmap names each initiative with a rough cost, a sequence position, its dependencies, and what to stop funding to pay for it.

How the plan stays honest

Timing a process is what stops you automating the cheap part.

Most of the cost sits in two steps. Measuring first is how we find which two.

  1. One process, picked

    A single process that people complain about, taken from start to finish.

  2. Timed end to end

    Every step is measured, so the time each one takes is a number rather than an opinion.

  3. The long steps

    Where the time actually goes, and where building something pays back.

  4. The short steps

    A checklist costs less there and works sooner than a build.

  5. A decision, not a hunch

    Timing the process first is what tells you which steps are worth automating.

Timing a process end to end is what shows which steps are worth automating.

How a build runs

Four phases, each priced before it starts.

  1. Discovery

    Interviews across functions, system inventory, and a map of how work actually flows today.

  2. Diagnosis

    What is working, what is costing, and the three decisions the leadership team has to make next quarter.

  3. Plan

    A named roadmap with sequencing, dependencies, rough costs, and what gets killed.

  4. Executive briefing

    A one-page summary, a full deck, and a working session so the plan survives contact with the quarterly operating review.

Common questions

Price, timeline, ownership: answered.

Do you also build what you recommend?
Sometimes, and the two are separate engagements. Stallwart is happy to hand the build to your in-house team or another vendor, and the roadmap is written so either can execute it. Nothing in the roadmap depends on Stallwart doing the work. The build is a later conversation at its own fixed price.
How long is a typical consulting engagement?
A diagnostic runs four to six weeks. A full strategy and roadmap runs eight to twelve, covering interviews, system inventory, costing, and the leadership working session. Stallwart quotes a fixed price per phase after the 30-minute scoping call. Both end with a written document your operating review can use.
Will you talk to our team?
Yes, and the plan is worse without it. Stallwart interviews across functions, including the people doing the work rather than only the leadership team, and times the processes under discussion. Executive-only engagements describe how work is supposed to flow. Interviews surface the spreadsheet everybody actually uses.
How is a consulting engagement priced?
Consulting is a fixed fee per phase, quoted after a 30-minute scoping call. Headcount interviewed, the number of systems in the inventory, and whether a costed roadmap is in scope drive the figure. Stallwart does not bill by the day or the hour, so a longer diagnosis costs you nothing extra.
Who owns the diagnosis and the roadmap?
The diagnosis, the roadmap, the process maps, the cost models, and the interview synthesis are yours to use, circulate internally, or hand to another vendor. Stallwart assigns them as part of the engagement and charges no template fee. Working files arrive in editable formats rather than as a locked PDF.
How is this different from a strategy deck nobody executes?
Strategy documents that nobody executes are the standard failure here. Stallwart writes the roadmap in the units your operating review already uses: named initiatives, owners, quarters, rough costs, and dependencies. A one-page summary goes to the board, and the working session ends with the first quarter's commitments agreed.
Can you work with the plans and systems we already have?
Stallwart starts from the plans and systems you have. An existing roadmap, a half-finished ERP rollout, a Salesforce or NetSuite implementation, or a stalled migration all count as inputs. The first job is reading what was already decided and why it stalled. Restarting from a blank page wastes work you paid for.

Bring the decision you are stuck on.

One 30-minute call. You leave with an opinion in writing, a fixed price per phase, and a plan that does not depend on us building it.
