Technical Advisory Audit

Fighter pilots and motorcycle riders call it “target fixation.” It happens when focus narrows so tightly on one point ahead that you lose awareness of what’s approaching from the sides. This often has costly consequences.

The same thing can happen in technical projects. Engineering and program leaders can become so focused on the next gate review that they overlook critical factors influencing overall system maturity and readiness.

That’s where we come in.

Our Technical Audit & Advisory services provide an objective, third-party perspective to help you see the whole picture. We support programmatic and leadership teams in assessing system and program maturity, identifying gaps, and defining the smart, actionable steps needed to move forward after the review.

Non-Advocate Review

When programs approach a major gate review, one question drives everything: “Are we ready?”

Our Non-Advocate Review service provides an objective, third-party assessment of your program’s actual readiness. We evaluate whether key artifacts, processes, and decisions meet stakeholder expectations. Our goal is never to criticize, but to clarify.

As your trusted advisor, we bring balanced insight into technical and programmatic realities, offering practical recommendations that strengthen performance, alignment, and confidence heading into the review.

The Result: Independent validation of program maturity and actionable paths to success.

Artifact Alignment

A hole in the ground is not proof that someone has a shovel. It’s simply proof that there’s a hole in the ground. Likewise, a stack of artifacts doesn’t prove your process works. It only proves you’ve created paperwork.

Our Artifact Alignment service ensures your systems engineering documentation genuinely supports design, verification, and validation goals. We analyze whether planned and existing artifacts deliver measurable value to key stakeholders and development partners.

Drawing from experience across complex systems and companion domains, we help you determine which artifacts matter most, how to produce them efficiently, and how to integrate them effectively for maximum return on effort.

The Result: Artifacts that drive real progress, not just compliance.
