Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers regarding our rapid intervention sprint, methodology, and data confidentiality.
01 Do we have to change our current software or existing tools?
Do we have to change our current software or existing tools?
No. Our core principle is to maximize the ROI of your existing software stack. We integrate your current tools (ERP, CRM, invoicing, spreadsheets) using robust APIs, data pipelines, and back-office automations. We only recommend transitioning to new platforms if a legacy tool creates an insurmountable bottleneck in performance, cost, or security.
02 How much time is required from our staff during the 7-day sprint?
How much time is required from our staff during the 7-day sprint?
The sprint model is purpose-built to avoid disrupting your daily business operations. We require only 2 to 3 targeted working sessions with executive leaders and process owners (totaling 4 to 6 hours across the entire week). The deep dive workflow auditing, financial margin analysis, and technical mapping are executed directly by our senior partners behind the scenes.
03 How is data confidentiality protected for financial and operational records?
How is data confidentiality protected for financial and operational records?
We treat all operational and financial records with strict institutional rigor. Prior to starting any diagnostic sprint, we sign a legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). All shared credentials and data remain fully encrypted, accessible exclusively by the 3 senior operating partners (Alfredo, Luísa, and Filipe), and are never shared with third parties.
04 Is technical implementation mandatory after the roadmap delivery?
Is technical implementation mandatory after the roadmap delivery?
No. The "SME Action Sprint" delivers an independent, 100% actionable execution roadmap with prioritized milestones, budget estimates, and step-by-step blueprints that your internal team can implement independently. However, if you prefer turnkey execution, our team can handle the hands-on engineering and deployment with end-to-end operational guarantees.
