Diagnose · Paid entry point
What is actually happening, and what should leadership examine next?
A focused assessment of one defined problem using existing artifacts, limited stakeholder input, dependency and friction analysis, prioritized findings, and one executive readout.
1–2 weeks
Starting at $5K
Principal-led with explicit scope boundaries
The buyer and the moment
Who this is for.
For an executive with one tightly bounded healthcare operating or transformation problem who needs an independent read before committing to a larger intervention.
- A new operational pressure or regulatory requirement needs rapid framing.
- Leadership sees symptoms but does not yet know whether the problem is workflow, ownership, controls, technology, or execution.
- A warm-network opportunity needs paid discovery without a large initial commitment.
- One workflow or decision is sufficiently bounded to examine in under two weeks.
Outputs
What the engagement produces.
- Current-state assessment of one defined problem
- Administrative-friction and dependency findings
- Prioritized risks and opportunities
- Executive recommendations
- One readout and an explicit next-step decision
What the starting price assumes. The starting scope is designed for roughly one problem, limited access, and a decision that can be responsibly framed from existing evidence.
Boundaries
What this engagement is not.
Stated before contracting so access, accountability, and expansion decisions are explicit.
- One problem, limited interviews, and existing artifacts only.
- This is not an enterprise-wide assessment, implementation plan, or technology selection.
- No clinical, legal, actuarial, or regulatory advice is provided.
- The diagnostic creates no obligation to continue with TKO.
Expansion path: If the problem is broader or economically material, expand into a Transformation Diagnostic or a bounded Operating Model & Transformation Design Sprint.
Capabilities
What this engagement draws on.
Is this a sales workshop?+
No. It is a paid, bounded diagnostic with written findings and a decision-oriented readout.
Can it cover more than one workflow?+
Only when those workflows form one coherent problem boundary. Otherwise the Transformation Diagnostic is the better vehicle.
Other entry points
Use the smallest engagement that can answer the question.
Principal-led healthcare advisory
Start with the transformation question.
A focused working conversation about what is changing, what is stuck, and which decision leadership needs to make before more money or momentum is lost.
