Questions

Before we scope the work.

Does the audit include rewriting?

The audit identifies and prioritizes the work. Writing and implementation can follow as a Documentation Sprint or a separately scoped project.

Can private documentation be reviewed?

Yes. Access, confidentiality, and retention requirements are agreed before the review begins.

What determines the fee?

The fee reflects the number and complexity of the journeys, documentation volume, access requirements, and whether workflows can be tested.
