The Architecture Diagnostic

Athree-weekreadonwhattopreserve,decommission,andre-author.

The wedge engagement. OM holds your operating model against the four structural moats and returns a prioritized re-architecture plan.

What it is

A structured, three-week diagnostic that names — across the four moats — what compounds in your current model, what now drags, and what must be rebuilt AI-Native. The output is a sequenced plan, not a deck.

Who it's for

Founders and CEOs of $20M–$150M B2B companies whose AI pilots stalled, whose growth depends on trust and expertise, and whose leadership team is ready to do structural work — not another readiness review.

The four moats examined

  • 01

    Relevance

    Is the business model itself exposed, or defensible?

  • 02

    Decision speed

    Is authority clean enough that AI creates speed, not latency?

  • 03

    Capital & pricing

    Does the way you charge still assume human labor as the unit?

  • 04

    Reputation & coherence

    Does the signal between what you say, do, and decide still hold?

How the method works

OM looks at each part of your operating model — a role, a pricing model, a workflow — and sorts it into three: Preserve what compounds, Decommission what drags, and Re-author what needs rebuilding AI-Native at the core, usually pricing or decision speed.

Deliverables

  • · AI-Native Shift Map — the structural moves your model now requires
  • · Decision-Speed Audit — where authority creates speed or latency
  • · Preserve / Decommission / Re-author read on 5–7 elements
  • · Prioritized 12-month roadmap, sequenced by impact
  • · 90-minute readout with the leadership team

Timeline

Three weeks, end-to-end. One kickoff, two working sessions, one readout.

What it excludes

Implementation, build, vendor management. The Diagnostic returns a clear read and the sequence. Execution stays with your team or follow-on engagement.

Price framing

Fixed fee, scoped at intake. Quoted against the engagement, not by the hour.
