A mandate or platform transition touches several teams. Each has a project plan, but leadership still cannot trace the change from the approved obligation to the behavior the operation needs.
The TKO readiness sprint addresses that bounded problem. It does not promise to redesign the whole organization or implement a payer platform in four weeks.
Week 1: Map the obligation and its authorities
Start from the client's approved interpretation and a defined population. Identify the capability, workflow, affected systems, controlling facts, and accountable owners.
Walk through actual artifacts with the people doing the work. Distinguish policy authority from operational routing and downstream control evidence. Record questions that need a client decision rather than inventing an interpretation.
Output: an obligation register and cross-system impact map for the agreed surface.
Week 2: Inspect handoffs and exceptions
Follow representative scenarios across internal teams, platforms, and delegated partners. Look for missing inputs, conflicting rules, hidden manual work, and receiving-system requirements.
Ask what happens when a fact is absent, a qualification changes, or the next system cannot accept the record. Check whether the exception has an owner and a usable route.
Output: a gap, dependency, and ownership matrix linked to the affected scenarios.
Weeks 3–4: Turn findings into executable work
Specify the business rule, source, owner, dependency, exception path, and acceptance evidence for each proposed change. Separate demonstrated readiness from assertions and decisions still required from leadership.
Agree the starting measures needed to observe activation, rework, exceptions, and downstream fallout after implementation. A measurement plan is not a realized savings result.
Output: the implementation backlog, readiness scorecard, and sponsor readout.
What the engagement needs
One bounded mandate, program surface, or platform transition; approved interpretations; access to agreed walkthroughs and evidence; and people authorized to resolve the relevant decisions. Timeline and handling requirements are agreed before work starts.
The Enterprise Transformation & Readiness Sprint is $15,000 fixed over 3–4 weeks. Client delivery teams execute the backlog; follow-on work is separately scoped. The synthetic decision lab shows the decision decomposition without PHI or a compliance certification.
