Common questions
A straightforward starting point
Is this an audit?
It is an independent advisory review, not a compliance audit. The focus is on delivery reality, material risk, ownership and practical decisions.
Will the review blame the delivery team?
No. The purpose is to make the system visible: what is working, what is blocked, where accountability is unclear and what can improve delivery confidence.
Can you support recovery after the review?
Yes. Where there is a good fit, SMCPS can help shape the recovery plan, governance rhythm, architecture decisions or next delivery phase.
