What You Get

Every investigation ends in documents you can act from and a call where you can question them. Here is what lands on your desk at each level, item by item.

4–6 Weeks

Level 1 Diagnostic Investigation

₹2,00,000–₹5,00,000 | $3,000–$8,000

  • The scope note. A written document agreed by email before any work begins. It names the domains examined, the interviews and observations planned, the deliverables, the fixed price, and what is explicitly out of scope.
  • The Leak Map. One page you can act from on its own: every finding with its named pattern, its loop stage, its monthly cost with the basis of the estimate, its severity, and the recommended follow-on action.
  • The Pattern Report. The evidence behind the Leak Map. Each finding traces to a document, an interview quote, an observation with a date, or a sourced metric, and carries the 7-stage loop that keeps it running. The report also states, plainly, what was not examined.
  • The Findings Deck. Seven slides built for your leadership: the evidence, the number that should not be ignored, the loop, the one intervention, and the falsifiability record of what we ruled out.
  • The remediation sequence. One high-impact action with a Poka-Yoke safeguard, plus a priced ladder of follow-on work so you can sequence what comes next.
  • The read-through call. Sixty minutes: Leak Map first, findings second, actions last. Questions raised on the call are answered in writing within 24 hours.
  • The 30-day pattern check. A follow-up scheduled at delivery, not remembered later: one month on, is the pattern holding?
8–12 Weeks

Level 2 Full Operational Leak Audit

₹4,00,000–₹18,00,000 | $6,000–$35,000

  • Everything in Level 1, run at organization width. Quality, CX, hiring, governance, and attrition are investigated in one arc and cross-read against each other, so a pattern found on the floor is checked against what the data and the policy layer say.
  • The multi-domain Leak Map. Findings from every domain on a single table, sequenced by severity and cost, so the leadership sees the whole leak at once instead of one silo at a time.
  • The 90-day remediation roadmap. Weekly milestones with owners, resource requirements, mapped dependencies, and the quick wins sequenced first.
  • The quarterly tracker. A monitoring framework your team runs after we leave: a monthly self-assessment checklist, a quarterly review rhythm, and the metrics that tell you whether the fixes are holding.
  • Multi-site, multi-shift fieldwork. Scheduled in the scope note, so findings hold across the operation and not just at headquarters.

How an Investigation Runs

The same arc runs every engagement, from a one-week Leak Scan to a Level 2 audit. It is the delivery discipline of quality investigation, applied to human behavior. The method behind it, the 8-step Pattern Intelligence Method, is on The Method page.

1

Scoping

You submit the scope proposal form. Rashi replies within 48 hours with a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal, and the written scope note names what is in, what is out, and what it costs. You approve it by email and pay the 50% advance. Nothing starts before that.

2

Evidence Collection

A 30-minute kickoff call captures your question in your own words, and the interview calendar is booked on that call. Then fieldwork: document review, structured interviews, floor and process observation, and metrics with their sources and periods. The fieldwork log is written the same day, and an access blocker is raised the same day it appears.

3

Pattern Analysis

Each finding is mapped to its named pattern and its 7-stage loop, from trigger to lock-in, then costed with the basis of the estimate stated. Where the investigation makes a claim about cost or recurrence, it also says how that claim could be disproven.

4

Findings

Every finding must trace to an artefact: a document reviewed, an interview quote, an observation logged with date and time, a metric with its source. What rests on inference is labelled a hypothesis, not dressed up as a fact. Before anything leaves EWR it passes a quality gate covering evidence traceability, notation completeness, and price consistency.

5

Remediation Roadmap

You get one high-impact action with a Poka-Yoke safeguard, plus a priced ladder of follow-on work. In a Level 2 audit this expands into the 90-day remediation roadmap: weekly milestones, owners, resources, and dependencies.

6

Review

The 60-minute read-through call takes the Leak Map first, findings second, actions last. Your questions from the call are answered in writing within 24 hours, and the final report is issued after. Thirty days later, a scheduled pattern-check email asks whether the pattern is holding.

A Level 1 Diagnostic Investigation runs this arc in 4–6 weeks. A Level 2 Full Operational Leak Audit runs the same arc at organization width in 8–12 weeks; the fieldwork window and the roadmap build do the stretching.

What the Output Looks Like

A report is easiest to trust when you can see one. Below is a single finding from a Pattern Report, redrawn as an anonymized composite from real investigations. No client, site, or person is identifiable.

Illustrative excerpt · anonymized composite

Finding 4 of 6: The Handover That Punishes Questions

The escape history shows the same defect nine times in fourteen months, each closed as “operator error”. Observation across three night shifts shows why the closure cannot hold: at the 11 pm handover, a question delays the outgoing operator’s sign-off, so a new joiner learns in week one to leave gaps unasked. The pattern is the Silent Handover loop: an ambiguous note, read as “not mine”, a question deferred to morning, a clean sign-off, relief that rewards the silence, rework the next day at twice the cost, and a shift where asking is now the deviation. Estimated cost: Rs. 3.2 lakh per quarter (basis: rework hours logged in the QA system, plus the escalation discount granted to the affected customer). If handover questions rise next quarter without a corresponding fall in escapes, this reading is wrong.

The same finding as it appears on the Leak Map:

#FindingPattern NamedLoop StageEst. Monthly CostSeverityRecommended Action
4Recurring defect escapes closed as “operator error”Silent HandoverStage 5 — ReinforcementRs. 1.05 lakh4 / 5Redesign handover; ban “human error” as a root cause

That is the discipline in every finding: an artefact, a named pattern, the loop, the cost with its basis, and the test that would prove the reading wrong. The anonymized Case Studies page shows what changed after the findings landed.

Scope, Risk, and Terms

Serious money deserves an honest boundary. Here is what an EWR investigation does and does not do, how payment works, and where the policies live.

What this is, and what it isn’t

  • We diagnose; we don’t implement. Remediation is specified with owners and timelines, and implementation is quoted separately as follow-on work.
  • We don’t give legal advice. Where a finding has a legal dimension, the report says so and points you to a lawyer.
  • We don’t assess named individuals. The pattern is the unit of analysis, and interviewees are never named in a report.

Honest boundaries

  • The scope note governs the engagement. It names what is in and what is out, and work outside it is quoted as follow-on investigation rather than quietly absorbed.
  • Every report states what was not examined. Findings that rest on inference rather than an artefact are labelled hypotheses.
  • Cost estimates carry their basis, and major claims carry a note on how they could be disproven.

Payment and price

  • The price is fixed at proposal and does not move. EWR does not discount; if the budget is smaller, the scope shrinks to fit it and the price follows the scope.
  • Payment is 50% on scope confirmation and 50% on delivery, per the engagement letter.

Refunds, review, and rework

  • An investigation is a time-bound engagement. Once it has begun, no refunds are issued and the advance is non-refundable. Cancel before work starts, and the advance may be refunded at EWR’s discretion. The full policy is on the Refund Policy page.
  • After the read-through call, your questions are answered in writing within 24 hours, and the final report is issued only after. The commercial terms are on the Terms & Conditions page.
  • Your artefacts are confidential by default, and the right to publish an anonymized case study is requested, never assumed.

One Next Step

Submit the scope proposal form, and Rashi replies within 48 hours with a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal. You pay nothing until you have approved the scope note, so you will know exactly what is in, what is out, and what it costs before any money moves.
