Decision Session

A 45-minute conversation before a written report, when you want to test the question first. We talk through one consequential technology decision: the assumptions, risks, constraints and realistic options.

Best fitAnyone curious but not ready to commit: you have a specific technology question and want to talk it through before paying for a written assessment.

Why start here

Test the question before the project.

You have got what you have got, and it has worked up until now. Maybe you do not want to touch it yet. A Decision Session lets you talk through one decision with someone who has seen how these choices play out in Japan.

It is a live conversation, not a diagnosis. If the question turns out to need a proper look at your systems, Diagnostics is the written next step.
