01 / Operating Map
See how the work connects
Systems, workflows, decisions, responsibilities and dependencies around the question leadership needs answered.
Independent business research & diagnostics
Understand what's really happening.
Know what to change next.
A fixed-scope, four-week diagnostic of one consequential business question by a senior team. AI-assisted research prepares the evidence across decisions, people, data and software; our experts verify what matters and hand leadership a prioritized plan.
How it works
Follow the evidence. Challenge the explanation.
Our systems prepare the research. Our experts determine what is true, what matters, and what to do next. The unit of research is the connected process and its decision history, not a department.
01 / Approved sources
- Task trackers
- Code repositories
- Chats & messengers
- Documents
- Meeting transcripts
- Databases & reporting

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.

Four connected results for leadership to examine, challenge and put to work.

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We do not publish client records or findings as case studies.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.
See how a diagnostic worksA 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.
We cannot reconstruct a history the company never recorded. Meaningful operational records and authorized access are prerequisites, not optional upgrades.
Scope, fit criteria and commercial termsA clear proposal before you commit.
The written proposal states the question, the team, the sources and access, the deliverables, the schedule and the 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.
Situations & introductions
The same service. Applied to your situation.
These are entry points, not industry verticals. The question and the decision change; the evidence-led diagnostic and its four connected results remain the same.
01 / Executive transition
A new leader needs context.
A CTO, CFO or COO inherits more than a role. Reconstruct the decisions, dependencies and responsibilities they need to understand before setting priorities.
Explore executive transitions02 / For venture capital
Know when to make an introduction.
Recommend independent research when a company needs a clearer operating picture. The company chooses whether to engage and agrees who receives the findings.
For VC introducers03 / Failed AI transformation
Understand why before investing more.
An AI initiative failed, stalled or fell short. Diagnose the causes, decide what is worth preserving and establish what to fix first.
Explore AI diagnosticsOther common entry points
- Revenue, margin, attribution or operational metrics that conflict across teams.
- Headcount and tool budget growing without corresponding gains in delivery or reliability.
- A founder who no longer sees how decisions travel through the organization.
- Repeated hand-off failures among commercial, product, finance, operations and engineering.
In every case, viability depends on retained records, leadership cooperation and a consequential question to answer; see the fit criteria.
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 a diagnostic 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.
What if we don't have the records?
We cannot reconstruct a history that was never recorded. Interviews fill selected gaps and clarify contradictions, but they are accounts of what happened, not contemporaneous records of decisions, operational events, transactions and implementation. Where the evidence is thin, we narrow the scope to what the records can support or decline the standard diagnostic.
Do we need to install or learn a platform?
No. Blatt operates its own research infrastructure and carries the tooling, model costs and manual research work. You buy the diagnostic and its results: the operating map, findings, intervention plan and management handover.

What do you need to understand?
Tell us the decision, what seems unclear, and your timing. We will discuss whether a bounded diagnostic is the right next step.
