Walk into every engagement
with structural evidence your
clients can't produce themselves.
License the BTA coordination intelligence diagnostic and add a new capability to your practice — an objective, artifact-based baseline that surfaces what client dashboards never show, before the engagement begins.
A baseline your team runs
before the engagement starts.
The coordination intelligence diagnostic fits naturally at the beginning of any engagement where your team is mapping a client's operating model, engineering organization, or product delivery structure. It surfaces the structural patterns that interviews and workshops can't — and gives your team an objective foundation that isn't filtered through client self-perception.
Your team is no longer dependent on what the client chooses to tell you. The artifact trail is objective — it reflects what is actually happening in the engineering organization, not what leadership believes is happening. That asymmetry is your advantage in every kickoff conversation.
BTA analysis of Meridian Systems identified $2.2M/year in recoverable coordination cost within 30 days — a 5.8:1 ROI the client's own reporting hadn't surfaced.
The artifact trail doesn't ask what people believe. It reads what the organization actually did.
The diagnostic is not limited to pre-engagement baselines. It can be deployed mid-engagement to track whether structural changes are taking hold, or post-engagement to demonstrate transformation outcomes.
Two ways to deploy the
diagnostic in your practice.
The license covers the methodology. How the analysis runs is a function of your team's capacity and the engagement model. Both paths produce the same deliverables — same Innovation Tax score, same structural findings, same report format.
Your team runs the analysis under the BTA methodology license.
Your engagement leads run the diagnostic directly against client repositories. BTA provides the methodology, tooling access, and onboarding. The analysis becomes a repeatable capability inside your practice.
BTA runs the analysis alongside your engagement team.
BTA operates as a technical partner on the diagnostic. Your team focuses on the consulting engagement; BTA handles the artifact analysis, delivers the findings brief, and participates in the client readout if needed.
Four deliverables. One report
your entire client team can act on.
Every diagnostic — regardless of mode — produces the same four deliverables. Each is structured for a different audience within your client's organization, so the same report serves the board conversation and the engineering team's 90-day plan simultaneously.
The procurement objections
are already answered.
The standard enterprise procurement friction — source code access, employee surveys, tool integrations — doesn't apply. The diagnostic reads what's already public in the artifact layer. Your clients don't need to change anything about how they work.
No source code access means no security review delay.
The BTA diagnostic operates entirely on the artifact layer — issues, pull request threads, discussion metadata. Nothing proprietary changes hands. Most clients can approve access in a single conversation, not a procurement cycle.
No surveys means no disruption to the client relationship.
Survey-based diagnostics require client cooperation, introduce response bias, and can signal to the organization that something is wrong before you're ready to frame it. Artifact-based analysis is invisible to the teams being measured until you're ready to present findings.
A patented methodology gives your recommendations a defensible foundation.
The Linguistic Debt™ analysis is protected by US Patent 12,106,240 B2. When a client pushes back on your findings, the methodology is not a matter of opinion — it's a documented, peer-reviewed approach to measuring coordination overhead that no internal team produced.
The OSS benchmarks give your findings external context.
Telling a client their Innovation Tax is $3.40 means more when they know LangChain's is $0.63 and Next.js's is $4.74. The fleet analysis provides the comparison set. Your client's number doesn't live in isolation — it sits in a benchmark that explains what good looks like and how far they are from it.
Innovation Tax = coordination overhead cost per $1 of engineering output. Lower scores indicate more efficient artifact-layer coordination. Scores derived from BTA Linguistic Debt™ analysis.
Let's discuss what a licensing
arrangement looks like for your practice.
Licensing terms are structured around your engagement volume and preferred mode. We'll scope it together — no standard pricing sheet, no sales process.
