How engagements work

Validated OS isn't sold on its own

It's the platform every AI Advisory Group engagement runs on — the assessments, the decision record and the 90-day roadmap all live there. You get to it by working with us, and it starts with a free Business Maturity Index: a snapshot of where the business stands today.

From first snapshot to a working plan

Ask for your Business Maturity Index

Tell us you want one and we’ll set it up. It’s free, it takes about fifteen minutes, and it produces a snapshot of where the business actually stands today.

Read it together

We go through the report with you and say plainly whether there's work worth doing. Plenty of these end with “not yet”, and that is a fine outcome.

Run the engagement

If it's a fit, your engagement runs the 5D process — Destination, Discover, Define, Design, Develop — with your team, inside Validated OS.

Keep the record

The assessments, the decision record and the 90-day roadmap stay in the platform, so progress is something you open and read rather than take on trust.

What's inside the platform

Not a dashboard of charts. The instruments and the record that an engagement actually produces.

Business Maturity Index and Owner Exposure — where the business stands, and how much of it depends on you
The 12 Operating Decisions — the decisions every owner keeps remaking, decided once and written down
A 90-day roadmap drafted from your own assessment results
A decision record: what was decided, by whom, on what basis — and whether it held up
People assessments where the decision is really about a person
AI readiness and AI governance, for the decisions that involve handing work to a machine
Branded PDF reports you can export at any time

Frequently asked

Can I buy Validated OS on its own?

Not at the moment. It's the platform our engagements run on, not a product we sell separately. If that changes, this page is where it will say so.

What does an engagement cost?

It's scoped per company — size, complexity and how much ground there is to cover all move it. The clarity conversation costs nothing, and you'll get a number before anyone asks you to commit.

Do I need to be certified to use it?

No. Certification was for advisors delivering the method themselves, and that programme is paused. As an owner you never certify — your engagement team already has. If you're an advisor rather than an owner, the practitioner waitlist is where to leave your details.

Do my team get access?

Yes. The people involved in the work get accounts, and anyone who only needs to complete an assessment can do it from a link — no login required.

What happens to our data?

It stays yours. Reports export as PDFs whenever you want them, and what we collect and why is set out in the privacy policy.

We're not ready for an engagement.

Then ask for the Business Maturity Index and keep the report. It's useful on its own, and there's no follow-up sequence waiting for you.

Start with the snapshot

Ask us for the Business Maturity Index and you keep the report either way. If it turns into a conversation, good — and if it doesn't, you still know where the business stands. In a hurry, reach us directly and skip ahead.
