The Method

How I work: the R.E.U.E.L. Method.

Companies break in the same few places, so I work in the same order every time. It has a name, R.E.U.E.L., and three movements. The company changes. The order does not.

Movement 1: The Audit.

I come in and produce a list: what is inside, what is worth recovering, where to start. Not an opinion. A list with a reason behind every line. The Audit is its own product, and it is the way in.

Movement 2: The System.

I build the system that frees the value the Audit found: the processes, the workflows, and where they truly earn it, the AI agents built around the team's weak points. I design the system without AI first. AI comes after and makes it fast.

Movement 3: The Handover.

I stay until the company can run the system without me. And that happens on one condition: that the people running it have grown into it. It is the half of the work the coach does, and I am one, trained at MICAP. A system nobody knows how to run is not a system. It is a document that dies in a drawer. If the team cannot carry it after I leave, I have not finished the job. Leaving is not the end of the project. It is the project.
