How engagements work
Every engagement runs the same way — a short, structured assessment; a deliberate onboarding; steady‑state operations with a real monthly review; and a 90‑day improvement loop. You always know what's being done, what's coming next, and what's been found.
Week 0 — no cost, no commitment
A working call (or two), an environment walkthrough, and an honest read of what's working and what isn't. You get a short written assessment back with the top issues, quick wins, and a recommended plan. If we're not the right fit, I'll tell you and point you in a better direction.
Weeks 1–4
RMM, monitoring, ticketing, documentation, and backup tooling get stood up — in your tenancy where it makes sense, in shared platforms where it doesn't. A stabilization sprint runs in parallel: the top reliability and security gaps get closed before steady state begins. You end this phase with documented runbooks and a 90‑day plan.
Ongoing
Day‑to‑day operations: helpdesk, change management, monitoring, patching, backup, and on‑call coverage for urgent issues. A real monthly operational review with the numbers that matter — response times, resolution times, security posture, projects in flight. Quarterly business review with leadership when that's useful.
Every 90 days
A formal improvement loop: what's the next reliability bottleneck, the next security gap, the next piece of toil to automate, the next bit of tribal knowledge to document? Each cycle ships a small number of measurable improvements — not just activity.

Responsive escalation, monitoring, and recovery from a senior engineer who treats your infrastructure like his own.
