01 / Leadership change
Your next CTO needs context.
A search, planned departure, or interim-to-permanent handover creates a reason to investigate what the new leader will inherit.
Explore CTO transitionIndependent research for business decisions
Understand what's really happening.
Know what to change next.
Your company's knowledge is scattered across people, decisions, data and software. We connect the evidence, test what's driving the result and help leadership decide what to change.
When to bring us in
Before a consequential decision, get a clearer picture.
02 / Unexplained friction
The reports or explanations disagree.
Work stalls between teams. Numbers do not reconcile. We trace the question across people, records, and systems rather than accepting the first explanation.
03 / A proposed change
You need to know what to change.
Before replacing a system or investing in AI, check the data, permissions, dependencies, and operating reality. The evidence may support a change, a smaller step, or no change yet.
How it works
Follow the evidence. Challenge the explanation.
Senior researchers choose the questions and test competing explanations. AI expands the evidence we can explore; technology, people and analytics specialists determine what it means for the decision.
01 / Approved sources
- Task trackers
- Code repositories
- Chats & messengers
- Documents
- Meeting transcripts
- Databases & reporting
- Targeted interviews
02 / Expert-directed research
Connected research
Senior researchers use MemoryOS and AI-assisted tools to follow decisions, connect sources and explore competing explanations.
Questions and findings are tested and refined throughout.
03 / Joint interpretation
Senior diagnostic team
Our technology, HR and analytics specialists challenge explanations together and identify what matters for the decision.
The evidence supports practical priorities and makes open questions visible.

Evidence-backed findings
Tested explanations, source references and open questions.

Understand the business. Decide the next move.
Four connected results for leadership to examine, challenge and put to work.
01 / Operating Map
See how the work connects
Systems, workflows, decisions, responsibilities and dependencies around the question leadership needs answered.
02 / Evidence-Backed Findings
Understand what's driving the result
Findings linked to source evidence, with competing explanations, confidence and the questions that still need an answer.
03 / Intervention Plan
Know what to change first
30/60/90-day priorities, proposed owners, dependencies and checks for progress, with a brief for the first recommended change.
04 / Management Handover
Make the next decision together
A working session with leadership to examine the evidence, challenge the conclusions and agree how to use the findings.
The research record connects all four results, so leadership can return to the evidence as decisions develop.

Your company's evidence is not our marketing material.
We do not publish client records or findings as case studies. Our public examples are fictional. The work we do with your company is for the people you authorize to receive it.

Different disciplines. A connected understanding.
Technology, people and analytics specialists shape the inquiry and challenge the explanation together.

Meet the experts and their rolesA focused engagement
Start with the decision
you need to make.
We agree one material operating question and follow the evidence across the teams and systems that shape it. The standard engagement runs for four weeks after agreed access is available.
Read the service scope and deliverablesA clear proposal before you commit.
You know the question, team, deliverables, schedule and fixed fee before work starts.
From understanding to action.
The handover gives leadership a supported view of what to change and in what order. Any subsequent implementation is agreed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Before the work begins.
Do we need to know exactly what is wrong?
No. Start with a concrete concern or decision: conflicting reports, a stalled workflow, a leadership transition, or a proposed investment. We agree an investigation question and achievable scope before starting. The four-week schedule depends on the agreed access being available.
What access will you need?
Access is agreed for the selected scope. It may include conversations, transcripts, documents, code, configurations, and read-only system data. Necessary sources, exclusions, and access restrictions are documented before work begins.
How much time will our team need to contribute?
A typical engagement includes 10–20 stakeholder interviews and 10–20 detailed written discovery questions, adjusted to the problem and team structure. A sponsor must also be available to resolve access and ownership decisions.
Where is our information processed?
Work is performed remotely in a Google Cloud environment provisioned and controlled by your company. Blatt does not require company records to be uploaded to a Blatt-owned production environment.
How are language models used?
Senior researchers direct the inquiry and use AI to explore approved records, trace connections and test more explanations. Model requests use your company's API access and may go to the selected external provider under the agreed handling terms.
Will you implement the recommendations?
The engagement delivers research, a prioritized plan and a management handover. Implementation, including a focused first change, is agreed separately.
What if the evidence does not support the suspected problem?
The finding will say what was checked, what the records support, and what remains unknown. That can change the recommendation—including a decision not to proceed with a proposed system change or AI investment.
Can we keep using MemoryOS afterward?
Ongoing access can be arranged separately. The proposal distinguishes the portable project deliverables from access to Blatt's proprietary research infrastructure, hosting, updates, and support.
