Five ways to work together

What each engagement includes, and how they build on each other

How to read this. These five engagements are not a single staircase. VANTAGE and PRIME are two different starting doors, both meant to diagnose before you commit. SPRINT, BUILD, and SYSTEM are a true ladder: each contains and upgrades the one before it. A client can start or stop anywhere. Most of the checks accumulate as you move right, because that is how the work compounds.
