Contradiction between T1 and I1: The 98% excludes 3 interfaces never tested end to end.
T1 SIT complete, 98% pass rate: what the evidence shows
Illustrative example. Fictional programme. Not a client engagement.
Testing reports a pass rate. Migration reports a reconciliation. Cutover has a plan. The system integrator has an opinion, and its final milestone depends on the date holding. Weeks before go-live, leadership is asked to approve a decision on reports written by the people being judged on delivery. We don't assume anyone is misleading you. We check whether the evidence supports what is being reported.
Reports a pass rate.
Reports a reconciliation.
Has a plan.
Has an opinion, and a milestone tied to the date.
For each readiness claim across testing, data migration, integration, cutover and governance, we ask:
Then we check the claims against each other, because the most expensive risks sit between workstreams.
How READINESS-5 worksThe evidence supports the date.
Named conditions, owners and dates that must be met first.
What is missing and the shortest path back to a date.
Put in your own numbers. When a go-live date moves, the programme team, the system integrator and the current system all keep running.
A Readiness Evidence Check costs USD 5,000 list, USD 2,500 founding-client rate: about 0.2 working days of your programme's run-rate.
Calculated in your browser from your numbers. Directional only: it leaves out lost benefits, contract penalties and business disruption. Not a forecast for your programme.
5 business days
A five-day written review of your programme's readiness evidence.
Day 1 scoping call and document request. Days 2–4 evidence review. Day 5 written findings and readout.
10 business days
A ten-day independent review that gives your steering committee a defensible go-live decision: Go, Conditional Go or No-Go, with the conditions, owners and dates behind it.
Fee credited in full
The full Evidence Check fee is credited against a Go-Live Decision Review signed within 90 days of the Evidence Check report.
Founding-client rate: the first three clients pay 50% of list price. In exchange, we ask for a named or anonymised case study, a 20-minute reference call with a future prospect, a written testimonial within two weeks of the readout if you are satisfied, and one warm introduction to a peer. The founding-client rate ends after three clients or on 31 January 2027, whichever comes first. Founding-client places remaining: 3.
