Payment$3,750 to reserve · $3,750 before final briefing
Best fit
Built for the institution that needs this level of help now.
- Useful information exists but is scattered across staff, files, reports, spreadsheets, and websites.
- Leadership wants the working record built, not only recommendations about how to create it.
- A planning, accreditation, budget, facilities, reporting, or leadership cycle creates urgency.
- The institution can appoint one sponsor and make up to five data owners available.
What you receive
Concrete files, decisions, and working structures.
Every item below is part of the fixed scope. The engagement is designed to leave useful institutional deliverables, not a generic recommendation deck.
Reconciled priority evidence
Public and supplied internal records organized across up to ten agreed priority areas, with outdated, conflicting, partial, unverified, and not-located evidence classified rather than blended together.
Data and Ownership Map
A practical record of what information exists, where it lives, who supplies it, who reviews it, when it should be refreshed, and which gaps require a leadership decision.
Leadership Deep-Dive Brief
An approximately 12–18 page brief with the institutional baseline, peer interpretation, evidence strengths and conflicts, five priorities, recommended ownership, and 90-day implementation plan.
Working sessions and final briefing
Two 60-minute working sessions with the sponsor and data owners, one consolidated factual-correction round, and one 60-minute leadership briefing.
Illustrative deliverable view
The institution leaves with an operating record, not a pile of advice.
The workbook connects evidence status, definitions, owners, refresh dates, peer context, and leadership decisions in one maintained structure.
Illustrative structure only. It does not present findings about a specific institution.

How the work moves
A bounded process with a visible finish line.
Align + collect
Confirm the decision questions and peers, receive one bounded data collection, and interview up to five owners.
Build + reconcile
Create the evidence register, organize ten priority areas, and reconcile public claims with supplied records.
Compare + prioritize
Complete the peer comparison, score opportunities, and draft ownership and review structures.
Install + decide
Finalize the working record through two sessions and deliver the 90-day plan and leadership briefing.
Scope discipline
Clear boundaries protect the result.
Work beyond these limits is not quietly absorbed into the fixed fee. If the evidence reveals additional needs, Ground Truth proposes them separately.
- Up to five data-owner interviews and up to ten agreed priority areas.
- One bounded document and data collection plus one consolidated correction response.
- No full greenhouse-gas inventory, engineering-grade calculations, or complete STARS submission.
- No unlimited data migration, custom software, system integration, assurance, or certification.
