Independent review

An independent pair of eyes, before it matters

Independent review of documents, systems and decisions, by people with no stake in the answer being comfortable.

IWhat we do

Three things, done properly.

i

Document review

Reading what you have written as a hostile reader would, before one does.

ii

System review

Whether the process described is the process running.

iii

Decision review

A second opinion on a decision that is expensive to get wrong.

IIWhat goes wrong

The two failures we see most.

We publish these because most of the value in hiring anyone is knowing which mistakes are common, and that knowledge is not worth hiding.

Reviewing your own work

Authors cannot see their own assumptions. That is not a character flaw, it is how reading works.

Review as approval

A review that has never returned an unfavourable finding is not a control, it is a signature.

IIIHow we work

We tell you what we find.

Including when the answer is that you do not need what you came to ask for. Anyone who never says that is not giving you information, they are giving you an invoice.

Scope

Where something needs a legal opinion, a financial audit or a clinical judgement, we will say so and stop rather than improvise past the edge of what we do.

Start a conversation.

Tell us the situation rather than the service you think you need. We would rather start from your problem.
