Diagnostic Practice

Organizations fail silently before they fail visibly.

The conditions are already in place. Information gets distorted. Decision rights get blurry. Continuity breaks down. By the time it shows up in the numbers, the causes are a year old.

We built a diagnostic to surface those conditions. Think of it as bloodwork for how your organization makes decisions.

What brings you here?

Hiring a leader?

Pre-Entry Diagnostic

30 to 50 percent of executive hires fail within 18 months. Most due diligence focuses on the candidate. Almost none examines the structural conditions the incoming leader will inherit.

We diagnose those conditions before they accept.

For search firms, PE operating partners, and VP+ candidates evaluating a role.

Leading an organization?

Coherence Sprint

A 3 to 4 week structural diagnostic mapping all 17 failure modes across three vertices: Truth, Authority, and Continuity.

For leaders who suspect the gap between what their organization says and what it does is wider than anyone has measured.

For CEOs, COOs, CHROs, and transformation leaders.

Investing in a company?

Portfolio Diagnostic

Structural due diligence that financial due diligence misses. We measure the decision-making infrastructure of acquisition targets, portfolio companies, and pre-exit assets.

For PE firms evaluating acquisitions, planning leadership installations, or preparing for exit.
AI Deployment Readiness

AI does not fail because of bad technology. It fails because the decision-making infrastructure it is supposed to augment is already broken.

The same structural conditions this diagnostic measures — decision latency, authority fragmentation, information distortion — are the conditions that determine whether an AI deployment succeeds or stalls. If you are planning an AI transformation, start with the structure.

Start with a conversation.

30 minutes. No pitch. We identify which structural questions matter for your situation and whether a diagnostic would surface useful answers.
