Five stages. No deck at the end of it — a department that runs.
This is the sequence every engagement follows, from first conversation to a system that no longer needs me in the room. It's a description of how the work gets built, not a branded framework.
Most engagements don't fail at a single stage — they fail because a stage gets skipped under time pressure. Design without Diagnose builds the wrong organisation for the business that actually exists. Deploy without Document trains people on something that isn't written down anywhere, which is usually gone again within a quarter. The order carries as much weight as the content.

The first useful question is usually which of these five stages a business is actually stuck at.
