Independent business research & diagnostics

Understand what's really happening.
Know what to change next.

One consequential business question. An independent investigation across people, decisions, data and software. We establish what the evidence supports and give leadership a prioritized plan for what to change next.

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.

Operating map

Systems, workflows, decisions and responsibilities connected.

Evidence-backed findings

Tested explanations, source references and open questions.

Intervention plan

30/60/90 priorities, owner roles and validation checks.

Management handover

Review the reasoning and next decisions with leadership.

Approved sources and targeted interviews inform expert-directed research and joint expert review. We test and refine explanations throughout, connecting the findings to leadership decisions.

What you receive

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.

Senior judgment

Different disciplines. A connected understanding.

Technology, people and analytics specialists shape the inquiry and challenge the explanation together.

Michal leads the investigation and brings the right expertise to your question.

Trust comes first

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.

A 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 deliverables

A 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.

Situations & introductions

The same service. Applied to your situation.

The question and decision change. The evidence-led method and 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 transitions

02 / 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 introducers

03 / Failed AI transformation

Understand why before investing more.

An AI initiative failed, stalled or fell short. Investigate the causes, decide what is worth preserving and establish what to fix first.

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.
