Find the exceptional episodes
Review the last several years and identify cases where you produced an unusually strong result for a particular type of customer. Choose specific episodes, not broad claims. Reconstruct the starting situation, constraints, decisions, sequence and result.
Extract the method
Interview the practitioner while reviewing real artefacts. Ask what they noticed, what novices miss, which decision changed the outcome and when the standard process should not be followed. AI can cluster recurring steps and draft a first playbook, but the expert must correct oversimplification.
Productise carefully
Convert the method into a diagnostic, checklist, evidence model, client interface or guided service. Preserve the points where human judgment is essential. Test the method on new cases and record where it fails.
Create compounding assets
Each delivery should improve the structured knowledge base: new exception types, better questions, clearer benchmarks and stronger examples. Permission, confidentiality and de-identification must be designed in from the start. Over time, the company owns more than content; it owns a tested way of working.
