Six weeks of direct access to 28 years of ISO experience — for the person carrying an entire management system alone.
Carry. Cope. Compound.
Most of the people I work with are carrying an entire management system by themselves.
They're the internal auditor. The document controller. The corrective action owner. The one who sits across from the registrar and answers for all of it. Usually on top of another full-time job.
That works. Right up until something changes. And right now, three things are changing at once.
The transition window closes in April 2029 — which sounds far away until you count how many management reviews you get between now and then.
Cleared consensus at 97% in December and is expected to publish in September, with a three-year transition after that.
If you're in medical device, you've been absorbing the FDA's Quality Management System Regulation since February 2.
None of this is an emergency. All of it is work. And most of it lands on one person's desk.
So I'm opening a small number of one-on-one advising spots.
Practiced. Present. Proven.
80+ companies certified through implementations. Systems built and stood up end to end, then carried through certification.
200+ audits attended. I've sat on both sides of that table more times than I can count.
600+ professionals trained across manufacturing, technology, medical device, government, and other regulated industries.
I'm not going to tell you I'm responsible for my clients' success. They built those systems with our guidance and development, and they run them. What I will tell you is that I know where the trouble hides, because I've watched it surface a few hundred times.
Start. Test. Decide.
Because you shouldn't have to sign a twelve-month agreement to find out whether this helps.
Six weeks is long enough to fix something real and short enough that you can say no at the end without it being a whole conversation. You get a written roadmap either way. If you want to keep going, we keep going. If you don't, you still have the roadmap and everything we built.
I'd rather earn the second engagement than lock you into it.
Assess. Answer. Advise.
This is advising. You do the work. I make sure the work is right.
Map. Mend. Move.
A sample of what these engagements tend to produce.
Reach. Review. Receive.
Not an associate. Me. One at the start to find the real problem, one at week four to work the solution — after I've reviewed your top four procedures, or after you've applied progress to the templates. Come with your questions and a clear objective for what you want out of each discussion.
For the full six weeks. Questions as they come up, between calls, without waiting for the next scheduled slot. This is where most of the value actually lands — the question you have on a Tuesday afternoon gets answered on Tuesday afternoon.
You send them. I mark them up against the standard and against what I've watched registrars actually challenge. You get them back with specifics — not "consider revising," but what to change and why.
Four is deliberate. Your top-level procedures are where nonconformities cluster, and where a fix cascades down through everything below it.
Most organizations hiring for quality or for their environmental system don't struggle to find candidates. They struggle to find the right combination — someone who knows the standard and your industry and can hold a room during an audit. Having trained 600+ professionals across regulated industries, I know who's good and I know who's looking.
Twenty-eight years of clients and colleagues. When I see a genuine fit — a supplier, a customer, a peer who solved the thing you're solving — I make the introduction.
These are my judgment calls, made when they're right for both sides. I don't broker my network, and I don't share anyone's information without asking them first.
I've published 330 articles read daily by people in your industry. If you have something worth saying — a lesson from a transition, a system you rebuilt, a problem you solved — I'll work with you to publish it under your byline. That's a credential for you and a recruiting asset for your company. Paid engagements are disclosed on the post.
Both. Not one or the other.
Quality — ISO 9001 or ISO 13485, whichever you're certified to. Environment — ISO 14001, including the 2026 transition kit.
Course seats are good for twelve months. Everything is already online, so you can train around your people rather than around the six weeks.
Most organizations running both a quality and an environmental system buy these separately — or worse, end up running two disconnected systems because nobody had time to integrate them. This is the whole set.
What's solid, what's exposed, what to do next, and in what order. Yours to keep whether or not we continue.
Priced. Plain. Published.
A mid-level to senior quality manager runs $85,000 to $140,000 a year — and you still have to find them, vet them, and hope they work out.
The advising in SureFinish™ — the calls, the procedure reviews, the Teams access, the roadmap — is $5,200 at my consulting rate. SureFinish is $3,500. The templates, toolkits, and course seats come with it.
I'm not going to inflate that into a padded value total. Every piece of it is priced on my site. Check the math yourself.
If you don't want to continue, you keep the roadmap, the templates, the toolkit, and the course seats. Nothing gets clawed back.
Few. Focused. Finite.
That's not a marketing number. It's what fits alongside teaching and consulting while still giving each client real attention.
Six weeks is a fixed engagement at a fixed price. A spot opens when a company decides it has gotten what it needed — which is not something I can put on a schedule. Projects also come up frequently at year end, so availability moves.
If all six are taken when you read this, the waitlist is the fastest route in. MSI contacts you directly when the next spot opens, before it goes anywhere else.
Tell us your standard and where your system stands. No obligation, and no cost to be on the list.
If it doesn't, I'll say so, and I can usually point you at the thing that does.
Honest. Open. Optional.
That's a fine outcome. These standards are written to be workable without a consultant, and some of the best systems I've seen were built by people who never called anyone.
If that's you, at least take a look at the template packages we built and see which is right for your company. These are my best work — a maturity path to continual improvement is already embedded in the systems.
But if you'd rather not learn the expensive parts the expensive way, the calendar's open.
MSI is veteran-owned and female-owned. MSI does not conduct audits for registrars and does not issue certifications. Advising, templates and courses support your management system; they do not replace the applicable standard or the judgment of a competent professional.
