Strategic Advisory for Complex Cases

Support when the process is unclear, blocked, or high-risk.

Strategic Advisory is used when a single report or opinion is not enough to guide the decision—typically where requirements conflict, interpretations diverge, timelines are critical, or the available information is incomplete.

When to use this

Use Strategic Advisory when:

• planning, heritage and technical requirements conflict

• feedback from different bodies is inconsistent

• the process is blocked or repeatedly reworked

• acquisition / funding / delivery timelines increase exposure to risk

• key information is missing and decisions must be staged

What we do

We structure the problem and the decision path, including:

• defining the decision to be made and the constraints that govern it

• identifying critical unknowns and the minimum information required

• mapping viable decision scenarios (and what each implies)

• flagging authority-dependent items as Human Gate

• recommending defensible next steps within a defined scope

What you receive

A scoped advisory output (PDF or structured memo), typically including:

• problem framing and scope

• assumptions, limitations and information gaps

• decision scenarios and risk implications

• critical constraints and “stop/go” factors

• recommended next actions and sequencing

What this is not

• not open-ended consulting without scope

• not design services

• not a licensing guarantee

• not a substitute for statutory authority decisions
