Frameworks FAQ

Is it right for us

Do you have a method that takes us from strategy to delivery?

Yes. Our frameworks run as one sequence from strategy to delivery. Trajectory covers corporate strategy and North Star covers product strategy. Litmus validates ideas, Spark prototypes them and Lightning Build delivers them. Snap Decision speeds up decisions and runs alongside all of them.

Can Lightning Build replace the agile methods our teams use today?

Yes. Lightning Build is our delivery program for the AI era, built to replace the established agile frameworks. It's designed for teams that use agents and automation as standard delivery tools.

How it works

Can Trajectory align our leadership on corporate direction?

Yes. Trajectory is workshop-led alignment of your leadership on corporate direction, with trade-offs surfaced honestly. The output is a strategy your leadership team owns, not a deck.

Can North Star put product leaders and funders behind one roadmap?

Yes. North Star builds your product vision, strategic bets, validated hypotheses and a sequenced roadmap. We build it with product leadership and the executives who fund them, in the same room.

Can we find out if an idea is worth building before we spend on it?

Yes. You get a go, no-go or iterate verdict before you commit code or budget. Litmus tests the idea against customer, market and technical evidence. Ideas that pass move into prototyping with Spark. The rest stop early, before they cost much.

Can Spark turn a validated idea into a working prototype?

Yes. Spark turns a validated idea into a working prototype that can serve as your MVP. It covers the requirements discipline, the design decisions that make a prototype ready to become a product, and the handoff into Lightning Build.

Can Snap Decision speed up how our organization makes decisions?

Yes. Snap Decision clarifies who decides what and removes approval theater. It builds in pre-mortems and rapid pressure-testing, and runs alongside the other frameworks across your organization.

Your systems and data

Is there a delivery method built for teams that work with AI agents?

Yes. Lightning Build is made for teams that use AI agents and automation as standard delivery tools. Its rituals, artifacts, roles and cadence match what that technology can deliver. It includes the method and training, and pairs with Forge, which automates the chain of delivery documents it runs on.

Getting started

Will senior practitioners run our framework workshops?

Yes. Your workshops are led by senior practitioners from our Counsel practice and a dedicated Frameworks team.

Pricing and support

Can we buy just the one framework we need?

Yes. Each framework is sold on its own, and we bundle them when the engagement calls for it.

Can we talk to your team and get a price for our scope?

Yes. Use the form on our contact page, and our team will be in touch. Pricing depends on scope.
