POSITIONING AND STANDARDS

The engagement arc

The path a client travels through the offer.

Definition

The path a client travels: Red Brief, then Red Eye, then Red Embed, then RedOS. Assessment, intelligence, delivery, standing system - each stage earns the next.

Why it exists

Transformation fails when it starts with software. The arc exists so understanding comes before building, and building comes before running.

Example

By the time RedOS is live, the business has a map, a roadmap and embedded working systems.
