You bring 1-3 candidates (people or companies) you're considering.

Black Mask verifies them against three safety criteria:

• Whether they take responsibility in the language of outcomes, (not actions)

• Whether they have clear boundaries of mandate

• Whether they have an early warning mechanism before cost appears

Two possible results:

Which candidate is safe – with justification and boundaries of mandate.

STOP – no candidate is safe. The decision secured by not letting anyone in at this stage.

Partnership ends with a choice. Black Mask does not search for partners and enter operations.

Partnership doesn't make sense when:

• You don't know what you want to hand off  

• You don't have candidates to verify

• The problem concern multiple decisions at once
