Methodology

From Information to Execution

COLLECT → ASSESS → STRATEGIZE → PLAN → SUPPORT

SRG’s methodology is built around how organizations actually fail under pressure — not how they look on paper. It converts fragmented information into clear, defensible decisions and stays engaged through execution. This is how it works, stage by stage.

The five-stage system

One disciplined path from information to execution.

01
COLLECT
Build the operating picture.
02
ASSESS
Reveal risk. Measure impact.
03
STRATEGIZE
Define how risk is reduced.
04
PLAN
Build the path to execution.
05
SUPPORT
Stay engaged through execution.

Every engagement runs the same five stages. Depth and scale change with the client and the operating environment — the discipline does not.

01

COLLECT

Build the operating picture.

SRG assembles a complete, current operating picture — pulling the signals that normally sit in separate places (personnel, operations, vendors, technology, travel, infrastructure, leadership decisions, external conditions) into one view a leader can actually use.

Leads into ASSESS →
Information examined
Readiness inputs, dependencies, public-source exposure, prior incidents, and the conditions specific to this client and this decision.
Operator judgment
An SRG operator frames what matters for this environment — not a generic checklist — and defines what must be collected to make the picture reliable.
How the picture changes
Scattered, unverified inputs become a single, sourced baseline.
You receive
A structured operating picture and a defined assessment scope.
02

ASSESS

Reveal risk. Measure impact.

SRG tests the operating picture for exposure and dependency, then measures what each finding means to the operation — not just that a risk exists, but what it would cost in consequence and in time.

Leads into STRATEGIZE →
Information examined
Hidden dependencies, single points of failure, exposure and its operational impact, and how conditions move across the enterprise.
Operator judgment
Findings are rated for confidence and prioritized by operational consequence; an operator reviews every result before it stands.
How the picture changes
The baseline becomes a measured, prioritized understanding of where the operation is exposed.
You receive
Prioritized, confidence-rated findings with operational-impact analysis, scored so leaders can compare and act.
03

STRATEGIZE

Define how risk is reduced.

SRG defines how the measured risk will actually be reduced — the moves that change the outcome, in the order that matters, weighed against second- and third-order effects.

Leads into PLAN →
Information examined
Mitigation options, trade-offs, dependencies between actions, and the decision environment leadership operates in.
Operator judgment
SRG separates what looks urgent from what is decisive, and tests assumptions before they become plans.
How the picture changes
Measured risk becomes a defensible plan of what to do, and in what order.
You receive
A prioritized mitigation strategy with defined decision points and clear ownership.
04

PLAN

Build the path to execution.

SRG turns the strategy into an executable path — sequenced actions, owners, decision gates, and the monitoring triggers that signal when conditions have changed.

Leads into SUPPORT →
Information examined
Capacity, timing, dependencies between actions, and the client’s real ability to execute.
Operator judgment
The plan is scoped to what the client can actually execute — not an ideal that stalls on contact.
How the picture changes
Strategy becomes a concrete, ownable path to execution.
You receive
An implementation roadmap with sequencing, ownership, decision gates, and monitoring triggers.
05

SUPPORT

Stay engaged through execution.

SRG stays engaged as the plan is executed — refining as conditions change, reassessing when they shift materially, and correcting course so the decision holds under pressure.

Reassessment loops back to COLLECT →
Information examined
Execution progress, new signals, and material changes in the operating environment.
Operator judgment
SRG judges when to hold, adjust, or reassess — the difference between a report that ages and guidance that stays true.
How the picture changes
The plan becomes sustained operational clarity — decisions that hold as conditions change.
You receive
Continued advisory support, reassessment, and course correction through implementation.

What makes the method defensible

Evidence, scoring, and traceability run through every stage.

Evidence traceability

Every finding traces to its source.

Nothing rests on assertion. Each finding carries its provenance, so conclusions can be examined, defended, and revisited.

Confidence & operator review

Nothing stands on the model alone.

Findings are confidence-rated and reviewed by an SRG operator before they reach a decision-maker. Judgment sits on top of analysis.

Scored readiness

Findings are scored, not just stated.

Results are scored so leaders can compare exposures, set priorities, and track how readiness changes over time.

The systems underneath

Proprietary systems that reinforce the method — not the method itself.

SORP™

Sentinel Operational Resilience Platform™

SORP™ supports structured assessment, evidence organization, scoring, and operator review — the operating model that lets SRG apply the methodology consistently across every engagement.

SORI™

Sentinel Operational Readiness Index

SORI™ converts the assessment into a measurable readiness picture and helps establish priorities — turning findings into a comparable score leaders can act on and track.

The five-stage methodology leads. SORP™ and SORI™ make it repeatable and measurable — they reinforce how SRG works; they do not replace it.

One method, many environments

The discipline stays constant. The application scales.

The five stages do not change. What changes is depth, scale, and the conditions examined — matched to the client and the environment in which they operate.

Beyond the report

A loop, not a line.

SRG does not hand over a document and leave. Implementation guidance, reassessment, and course correction keep the methodology working as conditions change — and when they shift materially, the process returns to COLLECT and runs again. That is how clarity is sustained, not just delivered.
