CRITICAL DIAGNOSTIC & FAILURE-MODE MAPPING 

Rapid Identification of Collapse Mechanisms 

What Is Critical Diagnostic & Failure-Mode Mapping? 

A rapid diagnostic service used during distress to identify the dominant failure mechanisms driving instability across: 

  • flow and throughput 

  • quality and rework propagation 

  • decision latency and escalation failure 

  • accountability drop points and interface breakdowns 

This service exists to answer: 


What is actually causing collapse—and which mechanisms must be addressed first to stop degradation? 

Why This Is Needed 

Used when: 

  • leadership disagreement prevents action 

  • the organization is “busy” but getting worse 

  • corrective actions are active but ineffective 

  • data is noisy, political, or unreliable during crisis 

How TJEG Performs It 

  • targeted executive + operator interviews (structured, non-theatrical) 

  • artifact review (dispatch logic, schedules, SOPs, escalation rules, NCR/defect signals) 

  • fast reconstruction of failure propagation paths 

  • mechanism ranking by impact and time sensitivity 

What This Delivers 

  • Failure-Mode Register (dominant mechanisms, ranked) 

  • Propagation Map (how deviations cascade) 

  • Decision latency map (where time degrades outcomes) 

  • Immediate stabilization options (what changes now) 

  • “Do Not Do” list (actions that worsen instability) 

  • Recommended next engagement pathway (command pack vs architecture-only) 

Who This Is For 

  • organizations in active decline without a shared root-cause model 

  • boards/executives requiring decision-grade clarity fast 

  • prelude to turnaround command when time is limited 

Engagement Characteristics 

  • rapid deployment 

  • focused on mechanism truth, not consensus 

  • designed to precede command or stabilization architecture 

Cost & Commercial Structure

No contingent fees. 

Compliance Boundary 

Operational intelligence only. No legal advice. No financial valuation/restructuring. No HR determinations. No licensed engineering. 
No outcome guarantees.
