Two ways this goes wrong
They feel different inside the building. The first move is the same.
Before you spend more, find out what can still be recovered.
The question is what to keep, what to rebuild, and what to take back to standard.
What you're really deciding
Both situations ask the same question. What carries forward, and what costs more than it returns?
A slipping project can still be recovered. A bad fit rarely means starting over. The configurations, data, and custom work that still earn their keep should carry forward. The rest is where the money leaks.
After go-live, the bill often arrives as a version you can't upgrade. When a platform like Odoo gets customized past a clean upgrade, the fit problem and the version problem are one. We solve them together.
On ai
Every platform ships AI now. Odoo agents, Acumatica copilots, IFS models built into the suite. Public tools like Claude and ChatGPT move the line every few months.
In a rollout that went wrong, AI is often part of the story. Scope sold as near-automatic. Features that demoed well and buckled in production. The questions are plain ones. What's secure with your data, what earns its cost, and what was just noise.
Part of the diagnosis sorts that out: what to keep, what was oversold, what to set aside until it's real. It continues through the rebuild and after go-live.
Peregrine, our AI platform, runs the inventory, maps integrations, and surfaces data problems before our team arrives. It speeds the work. The judgment about what to keep stays with our consultants.
How we work
Mid-flight or post-go-live, recovery follows one arc. It begins with the truth.
The first step
Fixed fee, fixed scope, and fast, because the situation usually can't wait.
Working sessions with finance, operations, and IT, plus the people using the system every day. We watch where it breaks and where the workarounds live. Senior practitioners on the floor, not a slide deck.
The unspoken question in every rescue is the same: why won't you fail like the last partner? We answer it with method. Decision gates, a written risk register, and a defined point where we tell you to stop. Nobody is blamed in the document.
If a fractional CFO or CIO is running point, they stay in the lead and we work alongside them. The same caliber of team that runs the diagnosis delivers the recovery.
What the diagnosis delivers
An honest picture of where the project stands, and why.
What stays, what gets rebuilt, what goes back to standard. Plus version sequencing where you're pinned.
Phased, with decision gates, a risk register, and a costed recovery picture. Defensible to a board, a parent company, or a PE sponsor.

Start with a conversation. No slides, no script. Tell us where the project stands, and we'll say whether a rescue diagnosis is the right next step. Sales takes the first call and brings in a senior consultant once the situation is clear. The read is yours to keep, and it holds up to a board, a parent company, or a PE sponsor.
