For the work that doesn't fit a box.

Rarely with a scope. It starts with an inspection on the calendar, a CAPA that has reopened three times, a quality system that grew faster than the company, or a question from a regulator with a date attached. We scope it after we understand it — which is why the first deliverable is usually a written assessment and a ranked plan, not a proposal.

Where the work turns out to be a platform build, an audit, or training, we say so and move it to the line that fits. Advisory is not a way of keeping work here.
