Qualification
Confirm size, access, technology, urgency, desired outcome, and remote-delivery fit.
Flagship service
Understand the network before deciding what to change.
The Network Baseline Review converts available configuration, inventory, controller information, documentation, and stakeholder context into a clear operational baseline.
Typical situation
The network works, but confidence is low.
Documentation is incomplete. Equipment age or backups are uncertain. Recurring complaints have not been explained. A refresh, office move, provider transition, or other decision is approaching.
The review creates a dependable starting point without turning a modest environment into an enterprise-scale project.
Objectives
- Establish the current logical topology and device baseline
- Identify evidence-backed operational concerns
- Record what could not be verified
- Prioritize actions by business impact and practical urgency
- Give management a clearer basis for investment and sequencing
Method
A controlled review from qualification to closeout.
Automated tools can support consistency, but every client-facing qualification and finding is reviewed by an identified person with a decision, rationale, and date.
Scope confirmation
Record included systems, information sources, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, responsibilities, and change control.
Discovery and access
Use the least access necessary: read-only access, client-controlled sessions, approved exports, or guided screen sharing.
Evidence review
Review topology, managed devices, VLANs, wireless controller information, resilience, backups, lifecycle, visibility, and documentation.
Assessment
Classify each relevant item as Pass, Concern, Not Verified, or Not Applicable. Only confirmed concerns receive a severity.
Findings and roadmap
Separate rated findings from items requiring investigation, then order practical actions by timeframe.
Executive report
Prepare a concise report, logical diagram, inventory, evidence-backed findings, limitations, and roadmap.
Findings meeting and closeout
Review priorities, correct factual errors, deliver the final package, remove access, and close the engagement.
Working introductory pricing
Defined tiers for manageable environments.
Working introductory prices before applicable taxes. Scope, access, and disclosed facts must be confirmed before either tier is accepted.
