Phase 0 is where most Simuka engagements begin. A single named deal. A 48–72 hour forensic sprint. The named principal runs the diagnosis directly, with the Kinetic Swarm interrogating every dimension of the deal in parallel: stakeholder politics, procurement risk, champion capital, competitive positioning, CFO objection vectors.
The output is a Deal Intervention Blueprint: what is actually blocking the deal, who owns the blocker, what changes this week, and the executive artifacts (re-engagement pack, procurement shield, champion brief) you need to execute the intervention. Phase 0 is the gateway to Deal Sprint and Harbour Master. Most clients escalate within a fortnight.
Every Phase 0 delivers six artifacts, each personally reviewed and approved by a Simuka Deal Director before delivery. Not a generic framework applied to your deal: a forensic diagnosis of this deal, this buyer, this stall.
What is actually blocking the deal. Who owns the blocker. What changes this week. Written for immediate action, not for reading.
The email, brief, or deck your champion needs to re-open the conversation at the right level. Reviewed and approved before delivery.
Full political topology of the buyer organisation: who matters, who is stalling, who can accelerate, and what each person needs to say yes.
Where your position is vulnerable, where it is strong, and what the buyer is hearing from the other side. Named, not hedged.
The compliance exposure vectors that can weaponise the procurement process against the deal. Named with recommended shields.
Three to five moves for the next two weeks. Owned. Sequenced. No boilerplate.
From intake submission to artifact delivery, the forensic audit runs to a fixed cadence. The operator oversees every step. Nothing is released until a Simuka Deal Director has personally approved it.

Most Phase 0 clients escalate within a fortnight. If the audit surfaces a deal that warrants operator-led execution, Deal Sprint is the natural next step. If the audit reveals portfolio-level risk, Harbour Master extends the operator across the top accounts.
The operator takes the deal from forensic diagnosis through to a signed decision. One named deal. One close cycle. The Simuka team runs it directly.
