The problem
Finding out your safety program is thin the same week an auditor or an underwriter does is the expensive way to learn it. The gap between written policy and daily practice is where the loss ratio quietly turns. The question is not whether you can afford the program — it is whether you can afford the incident.
How it runs
01 The diagnostic
Every engagement opens fixed-fee: the Architecture Review reads how the program is designed, across thirteen domains; the Audit Readiness Review pulls the files — rosters in, a sample drawn the way an investigator draws one, documents audited. Findings land on the record either way, each tied to the CSA exposure it carries.
02 The finding
We show you the pattern in your own numbers: loss concentration, driver risk distribution, the policy-to-practice gap. The finding first, then the evidence — and your answer goes on the record beside it.
03 The levers
A prioritized set of moves — re-tiering, coaching architecture, underwriter strategy — sequenced by loss impact, not by what's easiest. Corrective actions carry a name and a date, and the program's health is computed from whether they close.
04 The standard, held
Recurring advisory keeps the program under pressure between reviews, on-demand guidance is answered and kept, and the whole exchange exports as the Program Record — the document you hand an underwriter at renewal.
What it costs
Two doors in, both fixed-fee: the Architecture Review reads the design; the Audit Readiness Review audits the files — a mock DOT compliance review, run the way an investigator runs one. Either stands on its own, and half the fee credits against your retainer if you continue within 30 days — founders engagements on the Audit Readiness Review carry the whole fee for 60 days instead, while the first five last. The Audit Readiness Review is priced by fleet, like its sample; a materially elevated violation history grows the sample, and the quote with it. The published retainer is Essentials; Professional and Enterprise programs (deeper cadence, incident response, fractional safety-officer access) are scoped in a discovery call.
