Defence Project Health Check & Audit Readiness Review.

A rapid, fixed-scope review for defence and dual-use programmes facing tight timelines, hidden documentation gaps or upcoming customer, programme or compliance reviews. It is a readiness assessment and recovery-planning engagement — not certification or an accredited audit.

5 working days · fixed scope · fixed-price proposal

Find the gaps before the formal review does.

The review combines document screening, stakeholder interviews and — where relevant — an onsite walk-through to identify delivery, engineering and compliance exposures that can be acted on immediately.

  • Project baseline, milestones, interfaces and GFE scoping
  • Readiness against selected applicable AQAP 2110 / AS9100 requirements
  • PDR / CDR, configuration and frozen-process documentation review
  • Requirements / material traceability and test / acceptance readiness
  • Selected security and controlled-information process readiness within the authorised engagement scope
  • Stakeholder interviews and facility walk-through where relevant

Structured, technical, outcome-driven.

The objective is not to create more reporting. It is to establish enough structure that engineering decisions, delivery risks and customer commitments are visible and controllable.

Relevant experience

Built around real defence programme execution.

Experience spans unmanned ground systems, military vehicle payload integration, integrated logistics support, supplier coordination, design-review preparation, factory acceptance and technical risk management.

Support is aimed at small and mid-sized defence or dual-use companies that need senior project and engineering capability for a defined period, without building a large permanent organisation.
