STAGE 01
Scope & fixed quote
WEEK 1
A thirty-minute call, then a written quotation.
What you do, where, with how many peopleWhich standard — or whether you need one at allTimeline pressure: audit dates, tenders, licencesFixed price and timeline, locked in writing
THE POINT
The price we quote is the price you pay. If we scoped it wrong, that’s our cost.
STAGE 02
Gap analysis
WEEKS 2–3
Your current state, audited clause by clause.
Every existing document and habit mapped to the standardFindings ranked: critical, important, cosmeticWhat you already have that counts — usually more than you thinkThe build plan, sequenced
THE POINT
The deliverable is a plan you could hand to any consultant — including not us.
STAGE 03
System build
WEEKS 3–9
Written with your people. No boilerplate.
Drafts built from interviews with the people who do the workPolicies, processes and registers in your languageShort review cycles — you correct, we refineEverything versioned and controlled from day one
THE POINT
A borrowed manual fails the first real audit question. Yours describes your actual operation.
STAGE 04
Implementation & training
WEEKS 9–13
The system leaves the page and enters the routine.
Training sessions sized to each audience — floor, leads, managementThe registers go live: incidents, actions, auditsA full internal audit cycle with your team watchingManagement review run for real, minuted properly
THE POINT
Done when the system runs a full cycle without us in the room.
STAGE 05
Certification support
WEEKS 13–16
Beside you through the audit — and after.
Certification body selected and booked at stage 1, not nowPre-audit dress rehearsal a fortnight outWe’re in the room for Stage 1 and Stage 2Corrective actions drafted with you if findings arise
THE POINT
After the certificate: surveillance support, internal audits and updates — if you want us.
NEXT STEP
Stage one is a phone call.
Thirty minutes, a straight answer, and a fixed-price quote in writing within the week.
