Before you request a conversation
See the method before you book the call.
Five ways to look at the work first. Walk the operational faults, read the four-pillar method, score your own CMMC readiness, or read the source-cited answers. Start wherever your question already lives.
Start with the exposure
The Fault Line
Six operational faults most defense manufacturers carry right now, walked one at a time: the CMMC Phase 2 gate, backlog outrunning cash, the Hidden Factory, SPRS exposure, the IT/OT split, and the founder at the limit. Each one names the exposure and the first move.
The operating system
The Method
Standard Work 2.0, the four-pillar operating system: IT/OT Convergence, Margin Engineering, Human-in-the-Loop, and Sovereign Tier. Lean discipline and defense compliance built into one system, not bolted on after the fact.
Score your own readiness
CMMC Readiness Self-Scorer
Ten questions mapped against the NIST SP 800-171 control families, returning a readiness band with the gaps named in plain language. No email, no sales call attached.
The source-cited library
Insights
Source-cited answers on CMMC 2.0, DFARS flowdown, the Hidden Factory, onshoring and FOCI, AS9100 integration, and backlog-to-cash, written for New England defense manufacturers.
Name your fault in six questions
Operational Diagnostic
Six questions type your operation into one of four archetypes, Hidden Factory, CMMC Clock, Backlog-to-Cash, or Onshoring, and point to the right starting line. No email required.
