The Design Sign-Off That Costs CFOs Millions

Most programs approve design documents without real challenge from finance experts. That's exactly how misalignment creeps in and creates expensive problems.

This review brings independent eyes to your solution design before build begins.

  • Finance designs that don't match your actual strategy

  • Fragmented processes that break reporting logic

  • Overcomplicated org models that confuse users

  • Missing coverage that forces manual workarounds

By the time these problems surface during testing or go-live, you're looking at €500K-€2M+ in rework costs.

  • Spot risky assumptions, overdesign, or missing coverage

  • Give decision-makers a clear, independent view before sign-off

  • Support the Design Authority with clear findings and options

We’re not here to delay the project we help you avoid design debt.

  • Cut through PowerPoint noise and spot real design debt
