A Nykam Solutions Framework

The S.T.R.A.T.A. Method

A six-step business analysis framework for finding out what's actually happening inside your operations — and fixing it with documentation, process redesign, and automation that holds up.

A Nykam Solutions framework, backed by PMP, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, and ITIL Foundation discipline — built for how small businesses and solo practitioners actually operate.

The Framework

Six steps. One documented process.

Every engagement — from a single audit to an ongoing retainer — runs through the same sequence, so nothing gets fixed by guesswork.

S
Scan
Current-state discovery. I map your existing workflows, interview stakeholders, and pull the data needed to see what's actually happening — not what the org chart says should be happening.
T
Target
Requirements and KPIs get documented and prioritized. We define what "fixed" looks like in measurable terms before any redesign work starts.
R
Redesign
Workflows are rebuilt using Lean Six Sigma methodology — removing redundant steps, closing gaps, and reducing error rates with a documented, testable process.
A
Automate
Manual, repeatable work gets moved into systems — dashboards, workflow automation, and reporting tools that remove the dependency on any one person's memory.
T
Train
Every redesigned process is documented into clear SOPs, and your team is trained and tested against them, so the fix survives past the engagement.
A
Align
Ongoing check-ins keep the new process, the data, and the team in sync — catching drift before it turns back into the problem we started with.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is this the same as hiring a Fractional COO?

No — this is business analysis and process improvement work: documenting requirements, redesigning workflows, and building the systems that support them. It's a focused discipline, not a full executive function, which is part of why it's priced and scoped the way it is.

How fast will I get my audit?

The True Clarity Audit is delivered within 5 business days of your discovery call and any requested access to systems or documentation.

What if I start with the Blueprint and want the full audit?

The $297 Blueprint price is credited toward the True Clarity Audit if you upgrade within 30 days — just mention it when you book.

What kinds of businesses is this for?

Small businesses and growing organizations that need their processes documented and cleaned up — accounting firms, technology companies, nonprofits, and professional services are where most of this work has happened so far.

How is pricing for the Partnership retainer determined?

$3,000/month is the standard starting rate for ongoing Redesign, Automate, Train & Align support. Scope and price are confirmed after the True Clarity Audit, once the actual size of the work is known.
