Assurance before, during and after your ERP implementation

Know Your Build™

The governed assurance layer that runs across the whole implementation. Before it starts, we map how the organisation really operates. During it, we hold every change to the signed record. After go-live, we keep checking live behaviour against it. Join at whichever stage you are in.

  • Vendor-neutral. SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, Sage, Odoo or any ERP
  • Deterministic. the same inputs always give the same findings
  • Signed. every record is hash-chained and tamper-evident

The gap in practice

The Implementation Gap

Between what the business thinks it does and what the system is configured to do sits a gap of knowledge, not of software. It is invisible until go-live, when correcting it costs ten to a hundred times more.

  1. Undocumented information flows

    Who sends what to whom, how often, in what form: held in people’s heads and spreadsheets.

  2. Unassigned ownership

    Records, approvals and master data that everyone uses and nobody owns.

  3. Dependencies found late

    A downstream team discovers it depended on something the new design removes, during UAT.

  4. Implicit governance decisions

    Controls, thresholds and retention rules that exist by habit, not by policy, and vanish in migration.

  5. Workarounds that become permanent

    The temporary Excel bridge on day one is the unsupported integration in year three.

A New Category

Assurance at every stage of the implementation

A governed layer that sits beside the build, not inside it, from the first discovery session to long after go-live. You can start at any stage. It is not an ERP vendor and it is not a consultancy: it is the independent record of what the organisation said it does, confirmed by the people on both sides of every flow.

  1. 01

    Before implementation

    Discover and validate how the organisation actually operates, so scope, design and vendor selection start from evidence, not assumption.

  2. 02

    During implementation

    Hold every change to account: nothing moves after the lock except through governed change management. Gaps surface while they are still cheap to fix.

  3. 03

    After implementation

    Keep watching after go-live: compare live behaviour and SLAs against what was signed, and find what drifted or was never configured.

Vendor-neutral by design.

  • SAP
  • Microsoft
  • Oracle
  • Sage
  • Odoo
  • Any ERP
  • End users

    Know before you build what you are buying, and be able to prove what you asked for.

  • Consultants and integrators

    Replace opinion with a derived, reproducible report and a signed scope that survives a dispute.

  • OEMs

    See, with consent, structured intelligence on how partners’ customisation scope compares with what customers really need.

We are the assurance layer.

How it works

Six stages. One signed record.

  1. Structured discovery of information flows, business unit by business unit, in a fixed order that cannot be skipped or reworded after the fact.

    Guarantee

    A unit that cannot answer produces a co-signed waiver, never a blank.

Innovation

Six mechanisms. Each one a claim.

The engine is built from six mechanisms that define how the record is asked for, compared, governed and signed.

  • CLM-01

    Sequential Elicitation

    Discovery runs in a locked order. You cannot skip ahead or justify an answer retroactively.

  • CLM-02

    Governed Omission Control

    An unanswered question is not a blank. It becomes a permanent, dual-accountability waiver: reason, respondent, countersigner, co-approver.

  • CLM-03

    Mutual-Declaration Dependency Graph

    Every information flow is two independent assertions. The edge exists only when both match; one-sided flows surface as named governance findings.

  • CLM-04

    Pre-Lock Change Management

    Three governed ways to close a gap before the structural lock: propose, defer or escalate, each closed only by written approval.

  • CLM-05

    Multi-Party Approval Gate

    No technical build without client and consultant signatures, with an optional OEM advisory and an automatic notice if none is received.

  • CLM-06

    ERP Native Field Library + DMRA

    Per-vendor field dictionaries mapped onto the dependency graph, with a Data Migration Readiness Assessment run against source extracts.

Why We Exist

Built by people who watched it go wrong, repeatedly.

Over a decade of ERP work across SAP, Microsoft, Sage, Odoo and Oracle teaches one lesson: the technology is rarely the cause. The project fails in the gap between what people believe happens and what actually happens, and nobody was ever asked to prove it.

Gnósi-Enórasi turns that gap into a governed record. Not a workshop, not a slide, not an opinion: a derived artefact that two parties can sign and a third can audit.

Validation

  • Live organisations

    Running with real organisations today.

  • Real engagements

    Used on live ERP engagements, not demonstrations.

  • A working platform

    The engine you can sign in and try is the engine we use.

  • First of its kind

    A methodology with no equivalent in current ERP tooling.

  • Enterprise applicability

    Built for programmes where evidence matters.
