Case Study 01 · File WRG-2024-0117 · Decision Reversal
Global Technology Company
Client
A global technology company with 90,000 employees, four cloud strategies, and a campus shaped like its org chart.
Situation
The client approached us with an unusual presenting problem: decisions were being made. Individual leaders were observed committing to courses of action, in writing, sometimes within the same quarter the question was raised. Left untreated, this level of clarity exposes an organization to accountability.
Intervention
Over a fourteen-month engagement, we deployed the Strategic Misalignment Matrix™ and installed a Decision Review Board with authority over all decisions, including the decision to convene the Decision Review Board. A stakeholder alignment cadence was introduced to ensure no decision could survive contact with everyone whose opinion it did not require.
Outcome
| Indicator | Pre-Engagement | Post-Engagement |
|---|---|---|
| Decision clarity | Baseline | −38% |
| Stakeholder alignment meetings | 11 / week | +240% |
| Decisions reaching implementation | 7 / quarter | Under review |
| Accountability exposure | Critical | Fully mitigated |
“We no longer know what we decided, but for the first time, we all agree on it.”

Fortune 100 Organization
Client
A Fortune 100 organization operating in nine sectors, seven of which it entered by acquisition and two by accident.
Situation
The client maintained seven incompatible strategies, one per business unit, plus two legacy strategies that no living executive would claim. Quarterly planning had become a diplomatic function. Several executives privately identified the irreconcilability of the strategies as the problem. They were wrong. The problem was that there were only seven.
Intervention
We led a twelve-week Strategy Consolidation Program applying the W.R.O.N.G.® framework at enterprise scale. All seven strategies were preserved in full and merged into a single master document, ensuring that no faction lost, no direction was chosen, and every incompatibility was elevated to the corporate level, where it belongs.
Outcome
| Indicator | Pre-Engagement | Post-Engagement |
|---|---|---|
| Strategies in force | 7 | 1, larger |
| Strategy length | 40 pages, average | 1,180 pages |
| Internal contradictions | Distributed | Centralized (34, certified) |
| Compatibility rating | 0% | 0%, consolidated |
The consolidated strategy is now incompatible with it's own appendix. This is documented in the appendix.
“For the first time in our history, we are all reading the same document we disagree with.”

Regional Dental Chain
Client
A regional dental chain of 31 locations serving families, employers, and one municipal contract nobody remembers signing.
Situation
Following a board retreat, the client resolved to become AI-first. No use case was identified. The client could care less about use cases, a posture our analysts certified as Strategically Pure. What was required was velocity, procurement, and a press release, in reverse order.
Intervention
We executed our AI-First Acceleration Program: eleven platforms procured, two Chief AI Officers appointed (one reporting to the other, for redundancy), and routine cleanings rebranded as predictive plaque analytics. A roadmap was issued in which every quarter is labeled Phase 1.
Outcome
| Indicator | Pre-Engagement | Post-Engagement |
|---|---|---|
| AI platforms deployed | 0 | 11 |
| Use cases identified | 0 | 0, validated |
| AI-first status | Aspirational | Achieved |
| Patient outcomes | Unchanged | Unchanged, now dashboarded |
Follow-on engagement: the client is now exploring AI-only. Patients are being assessed for compatibility.
“The AI has not helped anyone yet, but it is unquestionably first.”
Case Study 04 · File WRG-2025-0871 · Digital Transformation · Government
National Ministry of Digital Modernization
Client
The digital modernization ministry of a G7 nation that has requested we not specify which seven.
Situation
After nine years and a budget the ministry describes as directionally accurate, the flagship modernization program had digitized 4 of 900 citizen services. Citizens could now locate the form online, print it, and mail it to a building that had been consolidated into another building. The ministry sought independent validation, having already drafted it.
Intervention
We conducted a full public-sector wrongness audit, benchmarking the ministry against 40 peer governments, all of which are also wrong, several of them about each other. Our 600-page findings recommended a second transformation to address the outcomes of the first, and a third to establish why the second will be different. The ministry excepted our findings in full.
Outcome
| Indicator | Pre-Engagement | Post-Engagement |
|---|---|---|
| Services digitized | 4 of 900 | 4 of 4, re-baselined |
| Modernization compliance | Unmeasured | 100% |
| Governance bodies | 1 task force | 6 working groups, 1 inquiry |
| Budget variance | Concerning | Reclassified as vision |
“The report confirmed everything we already knew. That is precisely why we needed it in writing, at this price.”
Case Study 05 · File WRG-2026-0333 · Artificial Intelligence Confusion
Mid-Size SaaS Provider
Client
A mid-size SaaS provider whose name, prior to our engagement, contained no artificial intelligence at all.
Situation
Growth had plateaued and the board recommended leaning into AI. The company had already renamed itself to include the term twice — once at the front, for investors, and once at the end, for emphasis — before engaging us to determine what, if anything, should now occur. The product was unchanged. In hindsight, the board should of asked this question in the other order.
Intervention
Our Brand Wrongness team validated the double construction as Bidirectional Intelligence Signaling™, prepared earnings-call pronunciation guidance, and resolved the client’s trademark dispute with a prior name held by their own subsidiary. A slide was produced to answer the question of what the AI does. The slide is under NDA.
Outcome
| Indicator | Pre-Engagement | Post-Engagement |
|---|---|---|
| “AI” instances in company name | 0 | 2 |
| “AI” instances in product | — | Unresolved |
| Valuation, rename announcement | Baseline | +40% |
| Valuation, first product demo | +40% | −62%, attributed to weather |
“Investors kept asking what the AI does. We now have a slide for that. The slide does not know either, but it is a very confident slide.”
Case Study 07 · File WRG-2027-0006 · Personal Wrongness
Household of Four, Kitchen Renovation
Client
A household of four in the American Southeast, engaged at full enterprise scale at their own insistence.
Situation
The family could not agree on a kitchen renovation. There were four stakeholders, each convinced there position on the island was load-bearing. Initial budget: $40,000. Initial timeline: before Thanksgiving, year unspecified. The household had previously consulted a contractor, a neighbor, and a video, in ascending order of authority.
Intervention
We applied our full enterprise methodology without modification, as a matter of principle. Deliverables included a stakeholder map (four stakeholders, eleven steering committees), a RACI matrix for the dishwasher, a competitive RFP process no contractor survived, and a three-year transformation roadmap in which the island is deferred to Phase 3, pending alignment.
Outcome
| Indicator | Pre-Engagement | Post-Engagement |
|---|---|---|
| Program budget | $40,000 | $412,000 (incl. $390,000 advisory) |
| Kitchen | Original | Original, now governed |
| Steering committees | 0 | 11 |
| Family dinners | At home | Outsourced, strategic |
The remaining $34,000 is reserved for Phase 1 discovery.
“We still do not have a kitchen, but we finally have governance.”
