Frequently Asked Questions.

Straight answers on how we engage, what the products include, and where Cascades stands on federal readiness.

How does an engagement typically start?
Most relationships start with a conversation, often preceded by the free AI People Solutions Index or a paid Organizational Diagnostic. From there we scope a proposal against the Ascend Framework, so you know exactly what you are buying before you commit.
What is the Ascend Framework?
Our operating model for every engagement, in four elevations: Base Camp (assess and diagnose), The Ascent (build and implement), The Peak (measure and validate), and Sustainable Summit (sustain and advise). Every service and practice area maps to it.
How long do engagements run?
It depends on the product. The Executive Growth Accelerator is a single 90-minute session with a same-week deliverable. Managed Services and larger transformation work run in ongoing or multi-quarter arrangements, scoped to what your organization needs.
What is included in each product?
The AI People Solutions Index is a free, 8-question readiness read. The 90-Minute Brand Upgrade is a Cascades Learning workshop for individual professional development. The Executive Growth Accelerator is a 90-minute executive session producing a findings report, a top-10 risk list, a readiness score, and a roadmap. The Cascades Organizational Diagnostic is our full paid diagnostic engagement.
How does the free Index differ from the paid Diagnostic?
The Index is a directional self-assessment: eight questions, about two minutes, placing you on the Ascend Framework. The Diagnostic is a fully scoped, paid engagement that produces a risk-rated roadmap and a complete set of deliverables. The Index tells you where to look. The Diagnostic does the looking.
