Dependency and reversibility audit
What stopping would cost, how long it would take, and what becomes irreversible in six months.
The problem
You have signed, or you are about to. Nobody in the organisation can say what stopping would cost, or how long it would take. The question was never asked, because it was not a comfortable one.
How we proceed
- 01
Mapping of real data flows, including external tool calls and second-tier subcontractors. The commercial diagram and the real one almost always differ.
- 02
Technical reading of current contracts: duration, exit clauses, reversibility, ownership of derivatives, effective location, exposure to an extraterritorial jurisdiction.
- 03
Identification of the points of no return, the ones another six months will make irreversible.
- 04
Costing of the exit plan: budget, timeline, skills to mobilise, order of operations.
Deliverables
