Field Assessment Report
$500 per report
75+ components scored by urgency, impact, risk, lifecycle, and business continuity
Field Assessment
A vendor-neutral report for the real office stack.
The Field Assessment Report applies the O.A.K. Method to desktop/laptop systems, site infrastructure, backups, network health, security posture, lifecycle risk, and practical next actions.
75+ IT components reviewed across hardware, software, network, security, backup, and cloud systems.
Urgency and impact scoring for vulnerabilities, bottlenecks, continuity risks, and cost leaks.
Tiered recommendations: minimum critical fixes, recommended balanced improvements, and maximum future-proofing.
Executive debrief suitable for stakeholder review, budgeting, and vendor negotiation.

Report system
The report follows a reviewed app workflow.
Observations are structured, evaluated with deterministic rules, converted into findings and cost bands, then reviewed, approved, versioned, and exported.
Structured Observations
Desktop/laptop and site reviews capture consistent evidence across lifecycle, performance, security, backup, power, network, and organization.
Deterministic Rules
Each observation is evaluated against explicit rules so strengths, weaknesses, evidence gaps, and priorities can be reviewed without hidden scoring.
Findings and Cost Bands
Recommended actions are grouped into practical cost bands for minimum critical fixes, balanced improvements, and future-proofing options.
Review, Approval, Export
Draft reports move through review, approval, and export tracking so the final version is clear, accountable, and ready to share.
Report flow
Find the risk, sort the priorities, make the next move obvious.
