Slippage is rarely about engineering. It is usually unresolved decisions about the chart of accounts, entity structure, or who owns a process nobody wants to own.

Gartner expects more than 70% of recent ERP implementations to miss their original business case. We take over stalled, over-budget, and failed deployments — on whatever system you already bought — and get you to a clean close.
Two days on your configuration and your open issue list. The written assessment is yours whether or not you hire us.
Warning signs
If three or more of these are true, the project will not recover on its current trajectory without an intervention.
Slippage is rarely about engineering. It is usually unresolved decisions about the chart of accounts, entity structure, or who owns a process nobody wants to own.
Time-and-materials engagements with an open scope do not converge on their own. Somebody has to redraw the line.
Parallel running past the planned window means the new system is not trusted. That is a data-integrity problem wearing a change-management costume.
Balances that disagree with the legacy system, sub-ledgers that will not reconcile to control accounts, or a trial balance nobody can explain.
Institutional memory of your configuration decisions has left the building. Nobody remaining knows why anything was set up the way it was.
Every gap closed with a script. Each one is a future upgrade blocker and an undocumented dependency.
How we work
Two days on your configuration, your data, and your open issue list. You get a written assessment whether or not you hire us — including if the assessment is that your current partner should finish the job.
Stop the bleeding. Freeze scope, triage the issue list into blocking and deferrable, and get a reconciliation running so you can see whether the numbers are actually right.
Fixed scope, fixed price, weekly demo. We work the blocking list in the order that gets you to a clean close, not the order that maximises hours.
One clean month-end closed in the new system, documented configuration, trained staff. We would rather leave than become a dependency.
The diagnostic is free and produces a written assessment you own outright. Rescue engagements run $15,000 to $40,000 depending on the state of the configuration and how much data needs remediation, quoted as a fixed scope after the diagnostic — never hourly.
We price it this way because hourly billing on a rescue recreates exactly the incentive that got you here. If the work takes longer than we estimated, that is our estimate to have got right.
Roughly a fifth of diagnostics conclude that the existing partner should finish the job, that the project is closer to done than it feels, or that the right move is to stop and reconsider the system entirely. We put that in writing too. A rescue we talk you out of costs us a fee and earns a reference.
We will not rescue a manufacturing or warehouse-management deployment. Those need deep vertical specialists and we would be the wrong people. We say so at the diagnostic rather than after the contract.
Questions
Two days, a written assessment, no fee and no obligation — including the assessment that says you do not need us.
