Secure Your ERP ROI.
Stop Guessing. Start Gating.
Vantage™ is the evidence-based Readiness Insurance for mid-market leaders. We prevent unbudgeted $1M-$5M overruns by enforcing hard-coded phase gates and risk-bracketed IQ intelligence.
70% of digital transformations fail because they rely on "Faith-Based" narratives. We replace opinion with evidence-based readiness.
The $2M Question:
Are you ready, or are you just lucky?
In the $50M-$250M revenue bracket, a failed ERP isn't just a budget overrun—it's a multi-year loss of competitive velocity. Most firms guess their readiness. Vantage™ removes the guesswork.
Traditional Readiness
"Joe says we're good to go. The vendor says they are on track. Let's start Monday."
Outcome: 70% Overrun Chance
Evidence-Based Gating
"Vantage™ IQ validates 92% pillar integrity. Hard-gate unlocked. Proceed to Phase 2."
Outcome: ROI Underwritten

VantagePrep™ Insight: "Current adoption velocity (68%) is below target. Recommended action: 15% increase in Phase 2 Change Management budget to protect ROI."
Unlock Your
Board-Ready Scorecard
Stop explaining technical jargon to your board. CatalistIQ translates readiness into executive-level metrics that justify investment and timelines.
- Clear binary 'Go/No-Go' signaling for every phase.
- Identify hidden revenue risks before they become balance sheet issues.
- Transparent decision provenance for auditors and investors.
- Risk-bracketed forecasting for budget protection.
Risk-Bracketed Governance
Platform behavior is hard-coded to these scoring brackets, enforced by VantagePrep IQ™.
Workflow Lockdown
Platform execution disabled. Full artifact re-evaluation required.
Conditional Entry
Requires independent advocate override memo and risk mitigation plan.
Verified Readiness
Full platform enablement. Phase-gate validated for execution.
The 5 Pillars of Success
Implementation failure isn't just about software. True readiness requires triangulation across the five domains that define organizational stability.
Data
Governance, quality, and heritage.
Process
Standardization vs customization.
Technology
Architecture and integration logic.
People
Culture, skills, and change readiness.
Governance
Decision rights and accountability.
Pillar Triangulation
Real-time readiness mapping across the 5 domains.
Architecture of Certainty
The Vantage™ Series
Seven domain-specific modules built to enforce governance and feed the EXProv® core engine.
VantagePrep™
The Ignition Point
The starting component for the platform. Generates the mandatory baseline dataset and feeds IQ scoring nodes to EXProv®.
VantageGov™
Integrated RACI
Hard-coded decision rights and stage-management rules that enforce governance within the platform motherboard.
VantageFlow™
Process Provenance
Validates business flows and stores the provenance of every process decision against native ERP capabilities.
VantageData™
Integrity Mapping
Orchestrates data inventory mapping, quality scoring, and cleansing plans required for migration gates.
VantageTest™
Exit Criteria Logic
Automates UAT governance and enforces hard exit criteria for scripts, ensuring binary pass/fail verification.
VantageCut™
Zero-Fail Cutover
Generates active runbooks and orchestrates command center operations with enforced cutover gates.
VantageStabil™
ROI Backlog
Closes the loop with adoption tracking nodes and optimization backlogs based on Phase 1 variance.
The 5-Phase Gating Model
CatalistIQ replaces "faith-based" consulting with a rigorous roadmap from concept to stabilization. Each phase is a "Hard Gate" governed by Vantage™.
Ideation
The gatekeeper phase. Readiness must reach 90% threshold for project birth.
Selection
Evidence-based vendor alignment focused on process fit, not sales decks.
Planning
Resource mapping and detailed sequencing to prevent budget drift.
Execution
Platform orchestration of build, test, and data migration workflows.
Optimization
Post-go-live stabilization and continuous ROI monitoring.
Phase 1 Gatekeeper Visualization
VantagePrep IQ™ assesses the 5x5 matrix during Ideation. Below 90% in any pillar blocks the transition to Selection.
| Pillars | Ideation | Selection | Planning | Execution | Optimization |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data | |||||
| Process | |||||
| Technology | |||||
| People | |||||
| Governance |
Governance Locked
Vantage™ Platform Governance is hard-coded to prevent "Maverick" implementations. Stage-management rules block teams from moving to Phase B until Phase A objectives are verified by module data.
"Execution platform is disabled until the Phase 1: Ideation gate is formally cleared and provenance stored."
The Platform Moat
Why Vantage™ is the only logical choice for mid-market ERP execution.
Conventional PM
Relies on manual inputs and "faith-based" status updates from biased internal or vendor teams.
- Unchecked Narrative Status Updates
- No Structural Phase-Gates
- Fragmented Content disconnected from Tasks
- No Permanent Decision Provenance
Vantage™ Platform
Enforces correct execution through hard-coded technical logic and proprietary risk engines.
- Automated Gating via Vantage™ IQ
- Artifact-Driven Advancement Only
- Mandatory Executive Proof-of-Readiness
- Immutable Decision Provenance Records
The Architecture of ERP Success
Takes ~5 minutes. No commitment required.
