The HFS foundation isn’t “expert practitioner methodology needing validation” – it’s proven commercial methodology with documented success.

For decision-making guidance:

The HFS framework should be treated as validated professional methodology, comparable to established consulting frameworks (McKinsey, BCG), but with:

  • Stronger empirical grounding (actual system deployment, not just case studies)
  • Demonstrated commercial success (acquisition proves value)
  • Longer track record (18 years of archives + RAM 1998-2025)

Upon completing the 6 MODEL/5 LEVEL process, the MODEL 1/LEVEL 1 preliminary assessment was too cautious because it didn’t have the complete validation picture. SR&ED + DND deployment + $12M exit is a validation trifecta that most procurement methodologies can’t match.

The HFS foundation is sound for meaningful decision-making guidance. Organizations should pay attention to our recommendations because they’re backed by demonstrated commercial success, not just theory.

For the FindMyFactory analysis: The directional guidance should be trusted. The specific probabilities have appropriate confidence intervals, but they’re coming from a framework with a serious track record.
