We identify problems quickly and deliver solutions you can actually implement. We don't create processes for the sake of processes — we focus on what's broken and what can be fixed.
Most insight emerges in the first two weeks. We ask hard questions, review your data, stress-test assumptions. By week two, we know where the problems are.
Your business has constraints. We work within them. We don't recommend solutions that need three new hires or a complete system overhaul. We show you what's possible with what you have.
Timeline varies based on company size, documentation quality, and process maturity. A smaller company with clean records moves faster. We adjust. We're realistic about what it takes.
This is how a typical Altese engagement unfolds. Every engagement is tailored to your situation.
Week 1 — Initial conversation. We understand your business model, revenue, team structure, recent performance, and what you think is broken.
Weeks 2–4+ — We dig into cost structure, procurement, tendering, and execution. Timeline depends on documentation quality and company complexity.
Week 4–5 — Specific problems identified, opportunities quantified, priorities ranked. This is where the value becomes clear.
Week 5–6+ — Real roadmap. Real timeline. Real resource requirements. We outline what needs to change and how to actually implement it.
Real impact depends on your current projects and procurement phase. Early wins may come from specific procurement packages. Broader impact follows as recommendations apply to your tender pipeline.
Optional — If you want help implementing, we stay on as advisors. Quarterly reviews, coaching, and course correction as real outcomes emerge.
Company size: A $3–5M business with clean records — 4–5 weeks. A $10–15M business with complex, multi-project systems — 7–8 weeks. Larger companies simply have more to analyse.
Documentation quality: Good cost tracking and project files means faster analysis. Scattered spreadsheets and fragmented records means longer to piece together an accurate picture.
Process maturity: Documented, consistent processes move faster. Early-stage, figuring-it-out companies require more time to understand how work actually gets done versus how it's supposed to.
Availability: Engaged, responsive teams compress timeline. Busy teams that take weeks to turn around data and meetings extend it significantly.
An initial conversation costs you nothing. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help and what to expect.
