After the diagnostic

Remediation is scoped from the evidence

The diagnostic tells us exactly what to fix and what it should cost. From there, three ways to engage, each quoted as a fixed number from the evidence.

Delivered work

What remediation looks like when it lands

Migration rescue

Before

A regional contractor had moved twenty-five years of project files to SharePoint and OneDrive on the cheap. Estimators could not open files in the middle of a live bid, and the team had started blaming the platform.

After

A reconciliation script surfaced every missing file, the root faults were fixed, the migration was finished, and the team kept a written runbook so the move holds.

Anonymized client engagement

Breach investigation

Before

Leadership suspected unauthorized access to sensitive Microsoft 365 mailbox data and needed a defensible answer, fast.

After

A senior engineer investigated the suspected access end to end and reported what happened in plain language the client could act on.

"I engaged him to investigate potential unauthorized access to sensitive Office 365 mailbox data, and I could not have been more impressed."

Anonymized client engagement

Endpoint ownership

Before

A team needed senior endpoint and cloud work done right, repeatedly, without signing a managed-IT contract.

After

The work held, and the client keeps coming back whenever the environment needs senior hands.

"Deep knowledge. I have hired him three or four times now, and will keep doing so every time we need his expertise."

Anonymized client engagement

Step 1

Diagnostic

A fixed-scope evidence pack inspects the environment and produces the proof.

Step 2

Evidence

The findings are scored and ranked, with a fixed quote to fix what matters.

Step 3

Remediation

You choose how to engage: Stabilize, Control, or Operate. Scoped from the evidence.

The remediation ladder

Stabilize, Control, Operate

The evidence pack tells us which one you need. You never have to guess, and you never pay for a tier you do not.

Mode 01

Stabilize

Close the urgent gaps the evidence surfaced.

Fixed quote, scoped from the evidence

When you need it

Critical findings, or a hard deadline: an audit, an insurance renewal, an incident, or a board date that will not move.

What you get

  • Fixed-scope remediation of the top findings
  • Before-and-after evidence you can show
  • A re-scored posture proving the gap is closed
  • A clean handoff, with nothing left half-done

Mode 02

Control

Build the controls and operating model the environment was missing.

Scoped build with fixed milestones

When you need it

The fix will not hold without architecture: identity, posture, governance, automation, and documentation that survive a key person leaving.

What you get

  • Target-state design and policy
  • Staged, measurable releases
  • Runbooks and a real operating model
  • Drift baselines so it does not decay

Mode 03 · Operator Retainer

Operate

Senior technical ownership, on call.

From $1,500/mo for compact environments; standard retainers higher

When you need it

You lost IT ownership when a key person left, or you want a senior brain accountable for the environment without signing a managed-IT contract.

What you get

  • A direct line to the senior engineer who did the work
  • Architecture reviews and change teardowns
  • Judgment and outputs on demand
  • Ongoing drift management and a quarterly re-score

Not prepaid hours, break-fix, or a help desk. It is senior judgment on call, scoped to outputs.

How this is priced

Remediation is scoped from the evidence and quoted as a fixed number or a clear monthly. There are no prepaid hours, no metered consulting clock, and no managed-IT contract you cannot leave. You always see the scope and the price before any work begins.

In a recent engagement, the diagnostic found license waste covering roughly 22% of spend, enough to fund the remediation.

Remediation starts with the evidence

Every path above is scoped from a diagnostic. Tell us what is broken or at risk, and we scope the fix.
