Four Tiers. One Compounding Relationship.
Anchored in the ALIGN methodology, the four ALIGN Engagements progress through each of the methodology's five phases, with every engagement adding a layer of clarity and value to your organization. From the ALIGN Audit, which captures your current resilience posture and decision-making architecture, to ALIGN Sustain, a long-term advisory engagement designed to assess how resilience has become ingrained in your organization's day-to-day operations, each engagement is a deliberate step forward.
Differentiated from services. Rooted in methodology.
ALIGN Engagements are structured programs built firmly within the methodology itself, a defined process for organizations that want to go further. Sentinel's services are project and need-based engagements where ALIGN principles shape how the work is approached and delivered. These engagements are different: each tier moves through the five phases of ALIGN in sequence, building on the last.
ALIGN Audit
Diagnose where decisions break.
A structured organizational decision and resilience audit. Document review, stakeholder interviews, scenario-based stress test, and a defensible maturity scorecard, delivered as a clear-eyed diagnostic that names the failure modes before reality does.
ALIGN Build
Redesign what the audit surfaced.
A focused engagement to rebuild decision architecture, redesign stakeholder coordination, and create operational playbooks. Audit findings become an integrated operating model: not paper, but a system the organization can actually run.
ALIGN Validate
Prove the system holds.
Recurring scenario-based validation. Tabletops, functional exercises, and full-scale events designed to surface failure under controlled stress. Performance is observed, scored, and tracked over time, turning compliance exercises into genuine readiness.
ALIGN Sustain
Continuous resilience advisory.
Monthly strategic advisory. Continuous improvement, real-world event analysis, on-call support during heightened risk periods, and a partnership that compounds organizational capability rather than restarting the conversation each year.
Each engagement is anchored in the five phases of the ALIGN methodology: the decision and execution system built on federal doctrine and calibrated to your operating reality.
