THE PRAXIS PERSPECTIVE

See the whole.
Work the detail.

A funding decision changes a budget. A budget changes a program. A system changes what a team can deliver. Our work lives at those connections.

The engagement route

Award terms become a budget. The budget becomes a workflow. The workflow becomes delivery. Each handoff carries the decisions made before it.

4 disciplinesOne connected obligationHover, select, or use the arrow keys.

The obligation is created here: a scope, a period of performance, a budget the funder has approved. Every constraint downstream is set in this document. Decisions taken here are cheap; the same decisions taken at Delivery are not.
Award terms · 3 connected handoffs
The obligation becomes a ledger. Budget categories must map to real accounts, the indirect method has to be elected and documented, and the reporting calendar starts running. This is where most engagements are already behind.
Cost allocation · 5 connected handoffs
The ledger becomes a workflow: who approves, who records, what the file contains when an auditor asks. A system that matches the award is the difference between reporting and reconstructing.
Records & reporting · 4 connected handoffs
The workflow becomes service. Problems surface here and are almost always caused upstream. By the time it is visible at Delivery, the cheap fix has expired.
Partner oversight · 2 connected handoffs
