The 5-Step Framework
Applied scientific method for business execution.
Problem Validation
Don't waste resources solving the wrong issue. Pinpoint the root cause before spending a dime.
Research & Roadmap
Build a plan based on facts, not assumptions. Chart the most efficient path to the goal.
Implement & Iterate
Move fast and adapt. Execute in short cycles to learn what works and fix what doesn't—in real-time.
Solution Validation
Did it actually work? Measure real-world impact against goals to prove ROI before scaling.
Manage & Mitigate
Lock in the wins. Set up systems to maintain success and catch future risks before they become problems.
The STORM Assessment
Not all problems are created equal. The S.T.O.R.M. model helps categorize challenges to apply the right level of resources and risk management.
Assess Your StrategyLevel 1: Simple
Low RiskClear problem, limited impact, low risk. Claira is supportive only.
Level 2: Complicated
Moderate RiskSome moving parts, known tradeoffs. Claira & the process are supportive.
Level 3: Complex
High RiskMany variables, non-obvious impact. Claira & the process are recommended.
Level 4: Chaotic
Severe RiskExtreme uncertainty, high stakes. Claira and the process are strongly recommended.
Level 5: Deterministic
Critical RiskHighly volatile scenarios with unrecoverable risk. Full Claira & process adhesion strongly recommended.
When to use PRISM
PRISM is designed for complex strategic execution. We recommend engaging the process when the following conditions are met:
Complex Problem
You are facing a situation that cannot be addressed with routine actions. It involves uncertainty, competing priorities, or dynamic factors that need analysis.
Readiness to Act
You have—or can realistically secure—the resources and ability to influence execution. You are beyond casual exploration and prepared to move.
Dynamic Variables
The situation involves evolving dynamics or interdependencies where agility is appropriate. Success depends on aligning multiple moving parts.
Set the Context
Tell Claira your goal or challenge, select roughly where you are in the process (PRISM Stage), and how risky it feels (STORM Level). That's it.
She Calibrates
A simple task? You get quick wins. A high-stakes crisis? You get a deep strategic session. Claira knows the difference.
World-Class Methods
Claira applies the same frameworks elite consulting firms charge six figures for—no decks, no retainers. She also uses proprietary strategies proven across a decade of volatile markets.
