HRMS requirements discovery
Turn vague HRMS needs into clear requirements.
Move from organisational context to weighted HRMS requirements — in about 15 minutes, free.
Independent and requirements-first — every recommendation is justified by your requirements.
How it works
Free path. Free call. Then choose if (and which) Advisory you need.
The diagnostic is free and self-serve. The call is free too — it's where we introduce the vendors that fit and open your packs. Deeper advisory is the paid layer, for the harder programmes.
AI synthesises your diagnostic. Humans lead the advisory.
Free Self-Diagnostic
Free · 15 minAn automated 8-section assessment covering organisational context, HR & AI maturity, growth pressure, compliance posture, integration complexity, implementation capacity, and priorities. You get a weighted requirements document and a basic fit report — yours to keep, no commitment required.
Free 30-min Discovery Call
FreeA working session — not a sales detour. We review your diagnostic outputs, pressure-test the problem you're trying to solve, and tell you whether (and which) Advisory service would actually add value. If the answer is none, we say so.
Two independent Advisory services
Paid · optionalSIGNAL (HR Tech Diagnostics, 4–8 wks) and HELM (Implementation Advisory, retainer). Engage either standalone — including after Digital Maturity, after Fit Engine, or mid-implementation — or sequence them across the lifecycle. Each is fixed-scope, delivered through its own methodology.
Free diagnostic
Eight sections. Fifteen minutes.
The free self-diagnostic captures your operating context across eight structured dimensions. No account required to start — just answer what applies to your organisation.
What you get
Weighted requirements document
Your diagnostic inputs are translated into a structured requirements matrix — with weights and must-have logic derived from your context, not a generic template.
AI-assisted requirements brief
An AI-generated plain-language synthesis of what your diagnostic responses mean for HRMS requirements — key tensions, what capabilities matter most, and what to probe in the discovery call.
Clarity on next steps
A clear view of what to do next, and whether deeper advisory support would add practical value to your programme.
Two independent services
Engage one or both — in any order.
Each Advisory service is independently scoped and delivered through its own methodology — SIGNAL for maturity and current-state diagnostics, HELM for implementation. Vendor evaluation and selection is free through the platform. Engage standalone if that's what you need, or sequence them across the full lifecycle.

Standalone, or the entry point into Implementation Advisory.
Monthly retainer · duration of implementation
Implementation Advisory
Client-side advisory throughout the implementation.
Talk to us
We sit on your side of the table — guiding your team at every stage, holding the vendor accountable, and protecting the outcome. We don't configure software or handle your data.
- Project governance and stage-gate review across all implementation tracks
- Vendor accountability — SLAs, deliverables, change control, escalation
- Risk register and mitigation owned client-side, not by the implementation partner
- Go-live readiness assurance and post-go-live stabilisation handover
Engage standalone — even mid-implementation, even if you never did a diagnostic or selection with us.
FAQ
Common questions.
Is the Fit Engine self-diagnostic the same as paid HR Tech Diagnostics?
No. The self-diagnostic is a free, automated 15-minute assessment producing a fit report and weighted requirements. HR Tech Diagnostics (SIGNAL) is a paid 4–8 week engagement with stakeholder workshops, a full scorecard, gap analysis, and a roadmap. The free version helps you self-orient; the paid one produces evidence that stands up to board and procurement review.
Do I have to start with the free self-diagnostic?
No. The Advisory services are independent. You can engage HELM (Implementation Advisory) directly even mid-implementation — without ever doing a diagnostic or selection with us. Digital Maturity and Fit Engine are useful entry points, not prerequisites.
What's the discovery call for?
A free 30-minute working session where we review your self-diagnostic outputs and pressure-test what you're actually trying to solve. We tell you whether (and which) Advisory service would add value. If the answer is none, we say so — no pitch, no follow-up cycle.
Can I engage Implementation Advisory if I selected my system without you?
Yes. HELM is designed to be engaged standalone — even if you never did a diagnostic or selection process with us, even if implementation has already started. We sit on your side of the table for the rest of the project — governance, vendor accountability, risk register, go-live readiness.
What does "independent" actually mean in Selection?
We do not arrive with a preferred platform. The platforms presented for structured evaluation are derived from your requirements matrix and organisational context — not from our familiarity with any particular system. Vendors fund the platform, and our fee never depends on which vendor you choose — the evaluation method is the source of rigour, not platform familiarity.
How is this different from G2 or Capterra?
Review sites show what others thought of a product. The Fit Engine self-diagnostic shows what fits your organisation — your size, integrations, compliance posture, implementation capacity. Different questions entirely, and the answers rarely overlap.
