Feasibility engineering
We help UK government and regulated organisations find the wall in their way, and get past it.
What we do, and why
Most big programmes are set targets that can't be reached as planned. Something fixed is in the way, and nobody spots it until money and goodwill are spent.
We find that wall early. Then we show you how to get past it, or tell you plainly that the programme shouldn't go ahead as it stands.
You commit money and reputation only to change that can succeed, and you know what has to move first.
Start with the soundness check. Four short sets of questions give you a first answer in minutes.
We pin down what's really in the way: a budget, a deadline, a contract, a supplier or an incentive.
We pick the right one of six moves to get past it, or advise you not to go ahead.
A founder works with you as you cross. One named person on your side can stop it at any time.
Our view
Most important change programmes can't succeed as first planned. Something stands in the way, such as a bonus scheme, a supplier's plans or a regulator's deadline. Feasibility isn't something you assess once at the start. You create it, by lowering the wall and crossing at the right moment.
We will tell you plainly when a programme shouldn't go ahead as planned. That's why our "yes" means something.
Our founders, Jo Bracey (25 years), Catherine Myszka (TBC: years) and Craig Stirk (TBC: years), have led more than 50 transformation programmes between them.
Where the walls are
A fixed budget, a legal deadline or a minister's timetable that can't move, and a business case that assumed it could.
The regulator's deadline. The change is due, the proof it works is due sooner, and the two are usually planned separately.
A wall someone else controls, such as a supplier's plans, a contract that protects the supplier, or something nobody on the programme owns.
Answer four short sets of questions and get a first answer straight away. A founder follows up.
The six moves
In every programme we've studied, each planning decision fitted one of these six. We haven't found a seventh.
Training
A half-day course on spotting what's blocking a programme, bringing people with you, and using AI well. You leave able to test a programme of your own.
Works with what you run
We don't replace your methods. We help you get more from them: a stage gate becomes a check on whether you can go ahead, a RAID log warns you of walls early, and the critical path shows which walls matter now.
Who we help
You push the change through when it meets resistance. Before you do, you want to know it can actually be done.
Services for you:
You're responsible for delivery. You want the authority to match, suppliers working towards your goals, and honest reporting.
Services for you:
You're asked to speed things up with AI and answer for the results. You want data you can trust, and checks that catch mistakes by people and by AI.

How we work
The people you meet are the people who deliver. We don't hand you on to junior staff.
AI does the reading and the sums. A named founder signs off every recommendation.
We use your data for your project, under your contract, and nothing else.
One named person on your side can halt any change, and everyone knows who.
We check every document before it goes out. We'll list certifications here once we hold them.
