Description
The diagnostic is a freeze-frame of one or two critical processes. We gather evidence from people who run the work, from artefacts, and from a small set of live cases. The output is a shared, evidenced account — not a gallery of opinions.
Scope
One primary process (for example order-to-cash, case handling, onboarding, or planning-to-delivery) plus its immediate interfaces. Broader enterprise mapping is a later architecture engagement.
Process
Intake and process selection; evidence interviews; case sampling; stall map; working session to test the findings; written diagnostic.
Deliverables
- Current-path map with named waits and handovers
- Ownership gaps and decision points
- Priority issues ranked by operational impact
- Recommended next engagement, if any
