02Is This the Decision You’re Facing?
Before we describe what we do, consider where you are.
Observation
The same information is re-entered, re-checked or chased across tools, and the cost of that effort rarely appears on any report.
Each of these is a business question first. The diagnostic exists to answer it with evidence rather than assumption.
03Clarity. Priorities. Direction.
Three connected outcomes, produced by one line of analysis.
01
See where time, cost, capacity, or revenue may be lost—and what is causing it.
02
Separate high-value opportunities from distracting or premature AI ideas.
03
Know what to validate first—and when the evidence does not support moving forward.
04A Focused Diagnosis Built on Four Sources of Evidence
Four distinct sources, read against one another rather than in isolation.
These four sources also support the Leadership–Frontline Alignment Analysis.
05From Evidence to a Business Decision
Understand → Compare → Diagnose → Prioritize → Estimate → Recommend
Understand the business objective, external context and core business question.
Compare leadership judgment, employee experience and workflow evidence.
Identify business friction involving time, cost, capacity, information and revenue.
Determine which business problems and AI opportunities deserve further attention.
Estimate potential Value at Stake and, when supported by evidence, provide indicative ROI.
Identify the first step worth validating and the conditions under which the business should not proceed.
01
Understand
Understand the business objective, external context and core business question.
Value-at-stake estimates are directional decision tools, not guaranteed savings or revenue. Where reliable implementation and operating-cost assumptions are available, Rcirco may provide an indicative ROI or payback range.
06What You Receive
Ten deliverables. One decision.
Every element of the engagement is written down, reviewed by a human consultant, and handed over as part of a single decision package.
- A written view of the business model, customer, market environment and positioning as they relate to the workflow under review.
- A 60-minute structured conversation capturing business goals, judgment, priorities and constraints.
- Confidential participation from up to 20 employees on how work is actually performed.
- Where leadership view, employee experience and workflow evidence agree—and where they diverge.
- One core workflow examined end to end: steps, handoffs, waiting, rework and decision points.
- Each one beginning with a business problem and supporting evidence, not with a tool.
- Cash cost, capacity value and revenue exposure, with assumptions and confidence stated.
- The single opportunity most worth validating first, and what must be true to proceed.
- A written record leadership can circulate, question and act on.
- A live session to review findings, test assumptions and agree on the next decision.
