A Structured, Advisory-First Approach

Onyx Peak Services follows a clear, disciplined engagement model designed to provide clarity, reduce risk, and support informed decision-making. Our approach is consulting-led and vendor-neutral, with a focus on understanding context before recommending or implementing change. Engagements are scoped deliberately to ensure focus, transparency, and measurable progress

1. Intake & Context

Every engagement begins with a structured intake to understand the organization’s environment, priorities, and constraints.

This includes:

  • Clarifying objectives and concerns

  • Understanding operational and security context

  • Identifying stakeholders and expectations

The goal is alignment, not assumptions.

2. Assessment & Analysis

We assess the current state with an emphasis on practicality and risk awareness rather than exhaustive documentation.

This phase may include:

  • High-level technical and operational review

  • Identification of gaps, inefficiencies, or risk areas

  • Evaluation of existing tools, processes, and controls

Findings are framed in clear, actionable terms.

3. Recommendations & Direction

Based on assessment results, we provide focused recommendations aligned to business needs, risk tolerance, and operational reality.

Deliverables typically include:

  • Prioritized recommendations

  • Trade-offs and considerations

  • Clear next steps

Recommendations are designed to be implementable, whether by Onyx Peak Services, internal teams, or other partners.

4. Targeted Execution (When Appropriate)

When implementation support is requested, we provide targeted engineering or configuration assistance scoped to specific outcomes.

This may include:

  • Limited technical implementation

  • Process refinement or workflow support

  • Validation of changes

Execution is intentional and scoped, not open-ended.

5. Documentation & Knowledge Transfer

Engagements conclude with documentation and knowledge transfer to ensure continuity and long-term value.

This may include:

  • Summary findings and decisions

  • Reference documentation

  • Guidance for sustainment

The objective is to leave organizations better equipped than before.
