Carve-Out Operating Readiness System

Outcome: The separating business has a controlled path to operational independence, with critical dependencies, temporary arrangements and acceptance conditions visible.

Who this is for: CEO, COO, separation leader or business-unit head preparing a unit to operate independently from shared people, systems, data, suppliers and services.

Buy as much help as the problem deserves.

Each depth is complete in itself: you can stop after any of them and still have your money's worth.

Depth 1

The answer

OctaFlow maps the operating perimeter, shared dependencies, knowledge concentration, customer commitments, service needs, decision rights and separation sequence. It delivers a readiness diagnosis, dependency plan, target operating requirements, workstreams, transition controls and failure contingencies. Legal, tax, accounting, employment and regulated transaction advice remain outside scope.

Finished when your team can carry out the plan without us.

Depth 2

The working method

OctaFlow installs a carve-out product containing the perimeter record, dependency map, service catalogue, separation workstreams, knowledge-transfer register, decision log, readiness gates, acceptance evidence and command rhythm. A critical separation scenario is rehearsed.

Finished when your team runs it on real cases and it holds.

$12,000A 25% deposit commences the work. The remaining 75% is payable on completion.
Depth 3

The full system

OctaFlow builds a permissioned separation control layer connecting approved workstream, service, systems and customer-continuity evidence. It tracks dependency retirement, temporary service states, blockers, approvals and readiness for independent operation.

Finished when it works under real conditions we agreed in advance.

$50,000A 25% deposit commences the work. The remaining 75% is payable on completion.

A person reads every order before work starts. If it is the wrong fit, we say so and refund it. Prices are in USD and Octaflow adds no VAT or sales tax.

Proof and ownership

The answer passes when every critical dependency has a treatment, owner and fallback. The working method passes when the team completes a simulated separation control cycle. The full system passes when a live dependency change triggers approved re-planning and traceable acceptance.

Commercial terms: Prices are in USD. OctaFlow adds no VAT, sales tax or other transaction tax. For any selected depth priced above $10,000, a 25% deposit is payable to commence and the remaining 75% is payable when the work is completed.

Standard exclusions: Travel, software licences, hosting, third-party data, external regulated opinions, major migration, custom applications and 24/7 support unless separately agreed.

Your business should get smarter every time it solves a problem. Even when we helped.

Five terms sit in every engagement, agreed before work starts. None of them can be traded out, at any depth, at any price.
