Team Topology Analysis
Understand how organizational structure shapes delivery outcomes
Structural impact assessment
See how your team structure, spans of control, and organizational design are shaping delivery outcomes
High-leverage change identification

Flow bottleneck mapping
Pinpoint where organizational boundaries create friction and slow delivery
Engineering is sociotechnical. Your metrics should be too.
Most frameworks stop at what's easy to count. The WAVE Framework captures the human and technological factors that actually drive delivery: how teams collaborate, how engineering effort maps to business value, how work flows through your system, and where friction creates bottlenecks.
