Frame the real question
Clarify the decision, problem or claim being tested. Agree the scope, evidence boundaries, sensitivities and what a useful result needs to do.
How I work
Clear thinking, without the layers.
You work directly with the person examining the evidence, testing the position and preparing the result. AI can increase analytical capacity. Human judgment remains accountable for the work.
Reconstruct the position
Build the chronology, evidence map and decision pathway. Separate what is known, what was assumed, what was represented and what remains uncertain.
Challenge the thinking
Test assumptions, search for disconfirming evidence, examine credible alternatives and attack the strongest version of the current position.
Verify material findings
Return to the original sources. Check the facts, citations and logic that carry the conclusion. Make limitations and unresolved questions explicit.
Improve the outcome
Turn the verified work into a clear decision, practical design or next-step plan. Communicate it in language the real audience can use.
The delivery model
Small by design.
No layers. No junior consultants. No hand-off between the person who heard the problem and the person doing the analysis.
The work can scale through structured methods and carefully controlled AI tools, without removing direct responsibility for judgment, challenge or the final output.
- Direct access throughout the engagement
- A scope built around the question, not a standard package
- Clear source boundaries and stated limitations
- Professional outputs written for the real audience
- Discretion proportionate to the material involved
A useful first step
Bring the difficult question.
We can work out what needs to be tested and whether The 10th Man is the right fit.
