Selected work

A working library of diagnoses.

Each engagement on this page began as one kind of request and resolved into something the client had not yet articulated. The pattern repeats: the stated brief is rarely the real problem, and a system that solves the wrong question is worse than no system at all.

Selected work

The brief asked for an algorithm. The diagnosis reframed the question.

Intelo: A scientific mechanism for academic choice

A World Bank-funded research engagement to address the structural mismatch between student degree choice and Sri Lanka's economic transition. The stated request was an algorithm. The diagnosis reframed what the algorithm needed to do.

CONNET

Maritime Logistics R&D · CINEC + AHEAD · 2021–2023

CONNET: A bridge from mathematics to commercial reality

A research-stage invention for optimising empty container exchange between competing shipping lines. CINEC had the mathematics. The engagement built the route from formula to a system the industry could actually adopt.

The Supply Chain Partner Network

Supply Chain Management · TSCPN · 2022

Shaping the Future: turning a network's capability into an offer

The Supply Chain Partner Network had capability and no offer. The engagement diagnosed the ecosystem before declaring anything. What emerged was not a service catalogue. It was a model for placing proven capability at the precise point, in any industry, where the supply chain hurt.

If a pattern here resembles a situation you are working with, we are happy to discuss it directly.
