You have years of federal delivery behind you and a hunch a productizable asset is buried in it, but no evidence and no clear go or no-go answer.
A findings memo that names your strongest product candidates, scores them, benchmarks you against five comparable firms, and ends with a straight answer on whether to act.
Who it's for
This engagement fits a specific situation. Here is the shape of a firm it serves well.
- Firms with several years of federal delivery history to mine
- Founders who suspect there is a product in their work but want evidence before committing
- Teams that need a credible outside read before a board or planning conversation
What you walk away with
The deliverable, itemized. Every line is a concrete artifact you keep.
- Contract archaeology: a full extraction of your federal delivery record
- Ranked product candidates, each scored on the S2P scorecard
- A five-peer benchmark with your firm placed in a capability and readiness quadrant
- A decision layer: ROI math, an investment estimate, and a do-nothing path
- A 10 to 15 page findings memo, specific and citable
- One 60-minute debrief call with the founder
How it works
The engagement runs on a fixed scope and a fixed timeline. There is a defined start, a defined end, and a single deliverable. You answer questions and review output; HARBOR does the work. The timeline is 14 to 21 days, and the scope is locked before the engagement begins, so there is no open-ended billing and no scope drift.
What's not included
A fixed scope means a clear boundary. This engagement does not cover the following.
- Designing the product itself, which is the Architect Workshop
- Building anything: this engagement produces a decision, not a deliverable to ship
- Proposal writing or capture support
A scenario
A firm with a decade of federal financial-management delivery suspects its reusable scoring approach could become a product, but the leadership team cannot agree on which version. The Sprint extracts the delivery record, scores three candidate products, and places the firm against five peers. The findings memo recommends one candidate and shows the 24-month ROI math, so the founder walks into the next planning meeting with a clear answer instead of a hunch.
