# Consulting

I turn fragile business systems into antifragile impact monsters.

That means I do not start by adding more process, dashboards, AI, or surface
area. I start by finding what breaks under pressure.

If the launch is close, the data is dirty, the source of truth is tribal, the
public promise is drifting from the product, or the workflow only survives
because one operator keeps it alive, I can usually help.

## When To Call Me

- A business-critical workflow keeps breaking in the real world.
- The system depends on spreadsheets, dashboards, legacy code, and people's
  memories agreeing with each other.
- A founder-led launch is blocked by tangled product truth, public pages,
  credentials, SEO, analytics, stakeholder feedback, and risk.
- AI or personalization is being discussed before anyone has named what the
  system can actually know.
- The page, payment flow, legal promise, service promise, or deploy path says
  something different from the product reality.
- The team keeps asking for more features when the actual need is deletion.

## How I Work

1. Expose fragility: find the brittle dependency, false assumption, hidden
   owner, dirty signal, stale document, or public promise that will fail under
   stress.
2. Document core truths: write down what the system really knows, what it only
   guesses, what can change, and what must not change.
3. Cut bloat: remove dead paths, fake dashboards, stale process, duplicate
   surfaces, and premature AI.
4. Protect invariants: customer rights, service truth, payment terms, privacy
   promises, deploy ownership, data reliability, and operational obligations.
5. Create optionality: ship small, reversible mechanisms with capped downside
   and open upside.
6. Verify reality: make the artifact, deploy path, QA loop, and handoff
   inspectable enough that future stress improves the system.

## Offers

### Fragility Audit

I inspect code, docs, dashboards, spreadsheets, assets, credentials, live
surfaces, data flows, and operator memory. You get the source-of-truth map,
fragile exposures, bloat to delete, and smallest reliable build path.

### Truth And Invariants Map

I document the core truths, customer rights, service obligations,
legal/payment/privacy constraints, deploy ownership, data reliability, and
public promises that must not be violated.

### Governed Decision System

I build signal registries, workflow profiles, computation rules, decision
boundaries, measurement paths, and rollout loops for high-stakes customer or
operator decisions.

### Founder Launch-Stabilization Sprint

I turn founder intent, stakeholder feedback, public-page needs,
domain/deploy constraints, SEO concerns, analytics needs, and risk flags into
an executable launch sequence.

### Public Surface Recovery

I make a website, landing path, pricing page, promotions flow, blog/SEO
surface, or conversion path match product truth instead of becoming a cosmetic
wrapper.

### Antifragile Implementation Hardening

I turn specs into working software, scripts, interfaces, documentation,
credential/deploy maps, QA checks, and release loops that get clearer when they
fail.

## What I Refuse

- generic staff augmentation
- chatbot wrapping
- dashboards that make a fragile system look managed
- process layered on top of fragility
- landing-page cosmetics when product truth is unresolved
- churn, LTV, propensity, or next-best-action models on garbage data
- personalization that changes customer rights, service truth, refund
  eligibility, compensation, or recovery obligations
- legal, payment, privacy, refund, renewal, or consent language treated as
  decorative copy
