Define
Agree on objectives, assets, versions, authorisation and boundaries. Identify responsible contacts and the environment before starting.
Expected output
A written scope that everyone understands.
02 / Method
Scope first. Conclusions after.
A useful review connects each signal to its context, each priority to a reason and each fix to a test. This is the AI-first method we are building.
Examine
Gather reproducible evidence in the agreed environment. Separate observed behaviour from assumptions that still need testing.
Expected output
Documented observations, including conditions and limitations.
Improve
Connect findings to impact and propose practical changes. Make dependencies, priorities and trade-offs explicit.
Expected output
A reasoned sequence of improvements.
Verify
Review the changes within the agreed scope. Record what has been resolved and what needs further investigation.
Expected output
Retest results and a description of remaining risks.
An engagement has clear boundaries.
Systems, versions, authorisation and limits must be agreed before work begins. Results describe what was reviewed and the limitations of the assessment.
