FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 We help STEM, scientific, engineering, curriculum, compliance, and data teams modernize workflows, strengthen documentation, embed governance, and adopt AI responsibly. Everything we do is built around the STEM Modernization Framework. 

 Most teams begin with the Workflow Diagnostic  a short, structured intake that identifies your modernization readiness and your highest‑impact opportunities. 

 No. The Diagnostic and Assessment are designed to meet you where you are, whether your workflows are documented, partially documented, or not documented at all. 

 A rapid clarity check. It evaluates workflow clarity, documentation alignment, governance, verification, and AI readiness. This is Phase 1 of the STEM Modernization Framework. 

 A deeper evaluation of 1–2 critical workflows. We analyze structure, documentation, governance, and responsible AI opportunities. This is Phase 2 of the Framework. 

 A 7–10 day sprint where we modernize 1–2 workflows with clear steps, reviewer logic, documentation updates, governance safeguards, and responsible AI integration. This is Phase 3. 

 Phase 4 is Documentation & Governance Support. This is where we update your SOPs, align documentation with your modernized workflows, embed governance rules, define reviewer and approver roles, and establish verification steps and responsible AI safeguards. Phase 4 ensures your modernization work is accurate, stable, and sustainable  so your upgraded workflows become part of your long‑term operating system. 

 A 4–6 week engagement where we modernize multiple workflows, strengthen documentation, embed governance, and support rollout. This is Phase 5 of the Framework. 

 No. We modernize workflows first, then identify where AI can responsibly support  not replace expertise. Accuracy and governance always come first. 

 Yes. Documentation & Governance Support includes updating SOPs, templates, version control, governance rules, and accuracy safeguards. 

 That’s normal. Most teams come to us with documentation gaps. Modernization includes aligning your workflows and documentation so they match and support each other. 

 Yes. Governance is a core part of modernization. We help define reviewer roles, approval logic, verification steps, and responsible AI safeguards. 

 We do not build custom software. We help teams adopt AI responsibly by modernizing workflows, strengthening documentation, and embedding governance so AI can be used safely and effectively. 

 Yes. We help teams assess whether a tool is appropriate, safe, and aligned with your workflows and governance requirements. 

 Yes. Training is included in the AI Modernization Sprint and the STEM Modernization Sprint. 

•  Workflow Diagnostic: 5–10 minutes
• Workflow Assessment: 1–2 weeks
• AI Modernization Sprint: 7–10 days
• Documentation & Governance Support: varies by scope
• STEM Modernization Sprint: 4–6 weeks

 Yes. All services are designed for remote, hybrid, and distributed teams. 

 We work with teams of all sizes  from small STEM groups to large multi‑department organizations. 

 Scientific, engineering, curriculum, compliance, quality, data, analytics, and other STEM‑aligned teams. 

 Pricing is based on scope, number of workflows, and the level of modernization required. We provide clear, upfront pricing after the Diagnostic or Assessment. 

 Yes. The AI Modernization Sprint and STEM Modernization Sprint are fixed‑scope, fixed‑timeline engagements. 

 No. Most engagements are short, structured, and outcome‑driven. 

 Start with the Workflow Diagnostic. It takes 5–10 minutes and gives you a clear picture of your modernization readiness. 

 Yes. If you prefer to talk before completing the Diagnostic, you can schedule a consultation.
