How We Install

From diagnostic to sovereignty transfer

Four phases. Clear deliverables. We build the governance system inside your business, transfer full ownership, and leave. The infrastructure stays. We do not.

The principle

Most consulting engagements create dependency. The advisor becomes essential. Knowledge stays in the advisor's head. When the engagement ends, the clarity ends with it. ASTERIS is built on the opposite principle: we design ourselves out of the engagement. Every phase moves toward a moment where you no longer need us.

01
Weeks 1-2

Detect

Map the failure modes. See what you cannot see from the inside.

The first phase is diagnostic. We run the Business Heartbeat Audit across all 9 Hell Events, map your governance gaps, and produce a scored assessment of where your decision infrastructure is strong, weak, or absent.

Deliverables
Full 9-domain BHA report with severity scoring
Priority action markers ranked by urgency and impact
Revenue impact framing for each active Hell Event
Executive summary for leadership team
Available standalone as FORGE Diagnostic ($750)

Weeks 2-4

Constitute

Build your decision constitution. Define who decides what, when, and how.

The second phase takes your diagnostic results and builds the governance architecture. This is where decision rights, cadence, verification protocols, and decision memory systems get designed and documented. The output is your Personal Decision Constitution: a written system tailored to your business, your team, and your operating rhythm.

Deliverables
Personal Decision Constitution (written document)
Decision rights matrix (who decides what)
Cadence design (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly)
Verification protocol specifications
Remediation roadmap for active Hell Events
Available standalone as FORGE Full Report ($750)

Months 2-6

Install

Put the system into operation. Active support through the transition.

The third phase is implementation. The constitution gets installed into your daily operations. Decision rights get communicated to the team. Cadence gets built into the calendar. Verification protocols get tested and refined. This is the phase where theory becomes practice.

During installation, you have active support: regular check-ins, troubleshooting, refinement of protocols that do not fit, and coaching through the transition from instinct-based to infrastructure-based decision-making.

Deliverables
Operational implementation of all governance systems
Team communication and onboarding materials
Regular refinement sessions (bi-weekly)
Decision memory system initialised and populated
Included in Founder License ($17,000)

Months 7-9

Transfer

Full sovereignty transfer. The system is yours. We leave.

The final phase is sovereignty transfer. Active support transitions to email-only support. You run the system independently. We are available for questions but no longer involved in operations. The governance infrastructure is fully inside your business, operated by your team, evolving through your own improvement cycles.

This is the test: if the system requires us to be in the room, it is not governance. It is consulting. The transfer phase proves the system works without external dependency.

Deliverables
3 months email-only support
System independence verification
Final governance health check
Complete documentation transfer

Entry points

You do not need to commit to the full installation to start. The FORGE products (Terminal, Diagnostic, Full Report) give you Phases 1 and 2 independently. If the diagnostic confirms you need full installation, the Founder License picks up from where FORGE left off. No wasted work. No starting over.

Start with the diagnostic

The free terminal takes 3 minutes. The full diagnostic is $750. Both give you clarity before you commit to anything.
