Example engagements

What an engagement looks like.

One example per advisory area. Each one is illustrative: a typical brief, the work Giovanni does on it, and what you have at the end.

Example engagements

Four areas, four typical briefs.

These describe the kind of work each area involves. They are not client cases, and they claim no results.

Illustrative example

IT modernization

A typical brief
An agency has to decide which legacy systems move to the cloud first and which retire. A fixed budget cycle and a shared data store limit the order of work.
The work
Giovanni maps the dependencies between systems and data, then compares the possible sequences against the budget timing and the authorization path.
What you get
A sequenced migration roadmap that shows why each step comes where it does, and the questions to settle before funding.

Illustrative example

Compliance readiness

A typical brief
A defense subcontractor faces a CMMC requirement in an upcoming bid. A System Security Plan exists, but the records behind it are incomplete.
The work
Giovanni sets the assessment boundary, tests each control against its evidence, and ranks the gaps by what the bid depends on.
What you get
A gap assessment and a ranked remediation plan with owners and dates, organized the way an assessor will ask for it.

Illustrative example

Program delivery

A typical brief
A program has slipped two milestones. Reports say it is on track, and decision rights are unclear, so every call takes too long.
The work
Giovanni rebuilds the real schedule from finished work and open dependencies, then lays out what can be cut, deferred, or protected.
What you get
A recovery plan, a governance model with clear decision rights, and a decision log leadership can act on.

Illustrative example

Mergers and acquisitions

A typical brief
A buyer is nearing LOI on a services business. Nobody yet knows which systems, contracts, and vendor agreements survive the deal, or what has to work on Day 1.
The work
Giovanni scopes the IT and contract diligence, drafts the integration plan, and sets out which seller services need a TSA and how each one exits.
What you get
A diligence findings memo, an integration plan, a Day 1 readiness checklist, and a transition schedule through the first 100 days.

Sample deliverables

The documents you keep.

Each engagement ends with written work your team can use without Karaya in the room.

Migration roadmap

A sequenced plan for moving systems and data, with each step tied to the constraint that sets its order.

Gap assessment

A control-by-control view against a framework, with evidence gaps named and the fixes ranked.

Decision log

A running record of what was decided, by whom, and on what evidence, so a program can show its reasoning.

Integration plan

The target operating model, the Day 1 checklist, and every transition and TSA exit with an owner and a date.

Who does the work

One advisor, start to finish.

Giovanni frames the question, maps the constraints, compares the options, and writes every page you receive. Nothing is handed to a junior team, because there is no team.

Confidentiality

Why there are no client names here.

Clients share detail they would never put in public. Naming them, their systems, or their numbers would break that trust, so this page shows the shape of the work instead.

An NDA is available before any confidential material is shared. The best way to test fit is a short conversation about your situation.

See your situation in one of these?

Send two or three sentences on what you are facing. Giovanni reads every message and replies personally.
