Targeted Document Review

One artifact. One PPBE-fluent read. Ten business days.

Sometimes you do not need a full portfolio audit. You need one document, one operating area, or one capability read against the resource cycle by someone who has sat on the other side of the desk. The Targeted Document Review is that focused engagement, delivered in a fixed window at a fixed fee.

When to use it

Small scope. Focused output.

The 30-Day Audit is the right tool when you need a portfolio-wide read. The Targeted Review is the right tool when you already know the artifact and just need it stress-tested.

  • 01

    A capability statement about to go to a customer

    Read against how a Combatant Command actually evaluates capabilities, not against how contractors typically write them.

  • 02

    A proposal in flight

    A PPBE-fluent read on how your proposal maps to Program Element language, MDEP structure, and current-cycle resource priorities. Not a proposal-writing service. A resource-cycle stress test.

  • 03

    A branch or operating-area exposure question

    A focused read on one branch, one operating area, or one specific Program Element to answer a specific question your leadership is asking.

What you receive

A focused deliverable, sized to the artifact.

Every engagement produces one written artifact scoped to the input. 6–10 hours of principal work. Delivered inside ten business days from kickoff.

Written Review

A structured written review of the specific document or area, organized around what the resource cycle would say about it. Not general writing feedback. PPBE-fluent, market-specific analysis.

  • Section-by-section observations
  • Resource-cycle-specific flags
  • Alignment against Program Element and MDEP language

30-Minute Debrief

A 30-minute working call with the founder to walk through the review and the action list. Not required, but included. Recording available on request.

  • Direct call with the founder
  • Q&A on the written review
  • Optional working notes after

How the ten days run

A tight cadence.

Fixed fee. Fixed scope. Delivered in ten business days from kickoff.

    Signed NDA, 30-minute scoping call, artifact delivered.

  2. 2

    Days 2–6: Review

    6–10 hours of principal work. Structured review drafted. Comparable-program benchmarks pulled.

  3. 3

    Days 7–9: Action list

  4. 4

    Day 10: Deliverable + debrief

Who this is for

The review is a fit if:

  • 01

    You have one specific artifact or question

    A single capability statement, proposal, operating area, or branch position. Not a portfolio-wide question.

  • 02

    You need it inside two weeks

    The tight fixed window is the point. If you can wait 30 days, the full audit is a better fit.

  • 03

    You want a PPBE-fluent read, not a proposal writer

    The review is not a writing service. It is a resource-cycle stress test performed by someone who has sat on the government side of the read.

  • 04

    You can move on the action list

    The review only pays for itself if the action list turns into decisions. If you cannot act, wait until you can.

Next step
