A 30-day diagnostic of the business as a system. We surface the failure modes that are about to cascade, rank them by what they'll actually cost, and install the architecture the next stage requires. Built for operators scaling at $300K–$1M/month. Also used by acquirers who want to know whether a target survives the ownership transition before they sign.
We score each domain against a defined rubric, using document review, stakeholder interviews, and the operational data the business actually has. Missing evidence defaults to the lowest score. Operational data outweighs self-report. Ties break downward. The output is a ranked map of where the business will fail first as it grows.
Where the business is going, and whether it can defend the route once it gets there.
Who actually owns what, especially when something goes sideways.
The repeatable mechanics that produce results without heroics.
Cash discipline, close cadence, and the leading indicators you actually look at on Monday.
How customers become customers. Predictably, not by accident.
What's measured. What's visible. What's still invisible because nobody built the report.
What breaks loudly. And what breaks quietly until it doesn't.
Whether the bench can carry the architecture you're about to build.
BAIC's analytical core. Adapted from systems-engineering risk frameworks, VMOCA scores 150+ failure mechanisms across 50+ failure causes, ranked by likelihood and impact. It's how we replace intuition with measurable architecture: exposing fragility, ranking risk, and converting complexity into a prioritized fix sequence.
Every BAIC engagement follows the same architecture-grade sequence. Evidence collected, vulnerabilities mapped, blueprint built, dashboard installed.
Document review, stakeholder interviews, operational data pulls. Provisional architecture scoring.
Each weakness mapped by mechanism, outcome, and criticality. Cascade pathways traced.
Prioritized architecture upgrade path, 90-day execution plan, risk matrix with owner-level accountability.
Implementation sprints, SOPs, dashboard standup. Day-30 re-score to mark the baseline going forward.
Not a slide deck. A live working system you can run the business from for the next 90 days and beyond.
Spider chart across all eight domains, with a ranked diagnosis on each. Plus the sequence of upgrades that produce the most stability per dollar spent.
A ranked list of failure modes (typically 40+). What breaks first under load. What breaks hardest. What to deliberately defer. Each entry traceable to the evidence that surfaced it.
The execution plan: sequenced, owner-tagged, dependency-aware. Not a wishlist. The installation order for the architecture the diagnosis prescribed.
A live view of your architecture maturity and vulnerability posture as the upgrades land. Quarterly re-scoring keeps everyone clear-eyed about whether the work is sticking.
BAIC is a high-consequence engagement. The buyers are operators with real financial and organizational exposure: people scaling the business they built, or buying one. It's the wrong tool for some stages and some problems, and we'll tell you when it is.
The hardest part of architecture isn't the rebuild. It's keeping the architecture intact as complexity rises. That's what the ongoing advisory layer governs.
Your live architecture view stays online. You see what changed, what regressed, and what's at risk, without rebuilding the picture from scratch.
The same eight domains, scored against the same rubric, every quarter. You watch your architecture mature instead of guessing whether it has.
Monthly working sessions with the principal operator. New vulnerabilities surfaced, priority sequence recalibrated, decisions stress-tested against the architecture.
If the diagnosis surfaces leadership-capacity as a constraint, LDNA enters the engagement to diagnose the bench. The two instruments stack.
Eight questions. We confirm there's structural leverage worth pursuing, or we tell you BAIC is the wrong tool for now and what isn't.
