Most technology investments stall because nobody has a clear, unbiased picture of what’s working, what’s broken, and what to fix first. The Stack Assessment gives you that picture — in 21 days.
Not because the information doesn’t exist — because nobody has put it together in one place and prioritized it.
A complete map of every tool, subscription, and integration against what it is actually delivering. Most organizations find 20–30% of their technology spend is redundant, unused, or underutilized.
Root-cause analysis of every data gap, pipeline failure, integration break, and capability hole in your current state. Not symptoms — sources. Every problem traced to where it actually starts.
A prioritized, scored action plan built around your actual capacity and constraints. Every recommendation ranked by business impact and implementation effort — no ambiguity about where to start.
Choose the type that matches your primary concern. Each is a 21-day engagement at a fixed price, delivered with the same three-week process and board-ready output.
Every system, vendor, contract, and dollar of technology spend — assessed and prioritized by business impact.
A complete map of your data sources, quality issues, analytics gaps, and AI readiness — with a sequenced investment plan.
Runs both tracks in parallel, finds the dependencies between them, delivers an integrated roadmap. Four deliverables instead of three.
The assessment runs in parallel to your operations. No systems accessed, no staff seconded, no work disrupted.
Kickoff call, stakeholder interviews, system and data inventory, contract and documentation collection.
Everything scored against your business requirements. Findings prioritized by impact, effort, and cost. Cross-track dependencies mapped (combined only).
All deliverables delivered. 90-minute readout call. The executive summary is board-ready from the moment you receive it.
Every assessment deliverable is written for a specific audience and designed to be used immediately — by your team, your board, or your next vendor conversation.
Two to four pages, board-ready from delivery. Headline risks, top three recommendations, investment range to address them. Suitable for board and committee presentation.
The full picture for IT and operations leadership. Every system or data source assessed, every gap documented, technical debt and quality issues mapped by business severity.
A sequenced action plan ordered by impact, effort, and cost. Quick wins callable in 90 days, 12-month priorities, and 3-year horizon items. Cost range per action.
The Combined Assessment adds a fourth deliverable: an integrated executive summary that shows how technology and data risks compound each other — and the sequenced investment case that addresses both.
The assessment is most valuable when a major decision is on the table and leadership needs a clear, external, unbiased read before committing.
Before committing to an AMS replacement, ERP migration, or major platform investment. The assessment tells you what requirements should drive the selection — before the vendor conversation starts.
Common find: selection criteria that would have locked in the wrong platform
The system went live, but the promised outcomes haven’t materialized. The assessment finds out why — and what it will take to close the gap.
Common find: implementation gaps that vendors rarely surface proactively
A new technology leader needs a rapid, credible current-state picture before recommending a direction. The assessment is the fastest path to that picture.
Common find: inherited decisions with no documentation of why they were made
The board wants a roadmap for AI adoption. The assessment tells you whether the technology and data foundation is actually there to support it — and what needs to change first.
Common find: AI use cases blocked by data gaps, not by technology
Tell us about your situation and we’ll scope the right assessment. Most engagements begin within two weeks of the initial conversation.
