01 / OWNERSHIP
No single point of accountability
Several departments are involved, but nobody has the authority and capacity to drive the whole initiative through.
Independent assessment · Critical initiatives
Your next major initiative deserves more than a project plan.
A new location. A new business unit. A market entry. A major restructuring. Before you commit more money, people and management attention, find out what it will actually take to make the initiative work.

Where execution breaks
The strategy may be sound. The organisation may not be ready.
Major initiatives rarely fail because nobody wrote a plan. They run into unclear ownership, underestimated dependencies, missing capabilities and decisions that arrive too late. Those are the things we examine.
02 / CAPACITY
The day job wins
The initiative competes with existing operations for the same people, leadership attention and specialist resources.
03 / DEPENDENCIES
The hard parts surface late
Critical decisions, suppliers, systems, approvals or capability gaps are discovered after time and money are already committed.
What we look at
We assess the work behind the announcement.
The scope depends on the initiative. The review is practical and specific to your organisation — not a generic maturity score or a pre-packaged transformation framework.
01
Objective
What must be true when this initiative is complete? What is in scope — and what is not?
02
Ownership
Who is accountable, who decides, and whether the people involved have the authority to act.
03
Operating reality
Capabilities, capacity, interfaces, suppliers, systems and dependencies that determine delivery.
04
Execution path
The sequence, critical decisions, risks and management structure needed to move forward.
How to engage
Start with a short review. Go deeper only if it makes sense.
The free Loom review is a first look at the information you provide. It is not the full assessment, and it does not commit you to a paid engagement.
Step 01 · No charge
Free Loom review
A short, personal video review
Send us a short description of the initiative. If it appears to be a fit, we will review what you share and send a personal Loom video within two business days.
- What we understand about the initiative
- The most important risks or unanswered questions we can see
- Whether a deeper independent assessment would be useful
Step 02 · Separate proposal
10-day initiative assessment
Typically $7,500 · Fixed scope
Where a deeper review is justified, we propose a defined 10-working-day assessment. You decide whether to proceed after reviewing the scope and fee.
- Decision paper with a clear recommendation
- Prioritised risk and dependency register
- Cost and capability requirements
- Critical path, key decisions and next steps
Useful on its own: you can take the findings and implement them with your own team or another provider.
A note from the founder
“I believe important initiatives deserve an honest assessment before an organisation commits itself to the work.”
I built SOPstandard for situations where a business has made a consequential decision, but the path from decision to delivery is not yet clear. My role is to examine the practical conditions for execution, make the gaps visible and help leadership decide what should happen next. If the initiative is not ready, I will say so.
