The cost of one badly
arbitrated year exceeds
the cost of a system.

The question is not the cost of decision infrastructure. It is the cost of its absence - dispersed capital, underperforming initiatives kept alive, and arbitrations restarted every quarter.

Investment logic

What the absence of architecture costs.

Before looking at pricing, it helps to compare what missing decision-governance produces in practice - and what a structured infrastructure makes possible.

Costs of absence
  • Capital allocated on implicit assumptions that are never revised
  • Underperforming initiatives kept alive because no exit threshold exists
  • Arbitrations restarted every quarter without stable criteria
  • Performance reviews that do not produce decisions
  • CFO and strategy leaders working from incompatible local truths
What the system produces
  • Structured arbitration once - reusable criteria from one cycle to the next
  • Capital redirected as soon as assumptions stop holding
  • Reviews that can produce a stop or a redirection
  • CFO and strategy operating on the same decision object
  • Defensible board-ready deliverables without manual reconstruction

Quote only. Displaying fixed pricing for an executive-governance system would be misleading - the scope varies too much. What does not vary is the investment logic. The executive brief identifies the appropriate configuration.

Frequently asked questions

On investment and format.

Why are no fixed prices displayed?

Because the scope of a governance deployment varies significantly: number of segments, business units, users, and governance cycles. A fixed price would be either under-calibrated for complex organizations or over-calibrated for a narrower scope. The executive brief identifies the right configuration before pricing.

What determines the cost of a full deployment?

Three main factors: (1) scope - the number of initiatives arbitrated, cost centers mapped, and entities involved; (2) cadence - the frequency of governance cycles and the number of users in the loop; and (3) the level of support - autonomous rollout, supervised rollout, or rollout with internal-team training.

Can we start with Offer 01 before Offer 02?

Yes. Offer 01 is designed to create immediate value on one specific decision while allowing you to assess the system before a full deployment. It can become Phase 01 of a broader rollout that builds progressively.

Is certification available outside consulting contexts?

Certification is primarily aimed at professionals who deploy the system for clients: strategy advisors, CFO advisors, and independent practitioners. For internal teams that want to build autonomous governance capability, Offer 02 includes cadence training - that is the appropriate format.

Is there post-deployment support?

Offer 02 includes installation of the governance cadence, which means internal teams are trained to maintain the system. Post-deployment follow-up can be configured depending on organizational complexity. Terms are defined during the brief.
