Perspective from practitioners who lead and review major programmes. Each insight answers a question sponsors and boards ask us, with the judgement that sits behind the answer.
Precision Insights is published by Precision Consulting Corporation, an independent Australian consulting firm founded in Sydney in 1996. It delivers, recovers and assures major programmes, and every insight is written from that work. About the firm
Government assurance
An assurance review lasts a few days, and the Senior Responsible Official remains accountable for the programme it examines. The SROs who gain most spend the three months before it on the evidence and the people, then leave the reviewers to work.
AI in the portfolio office
Every major portfolio platform now ships its own AI agent, and each one governs itself. The offices that gain most will name the decisions AI must improve, hold every tool to one standard, and prove the gain.
Programme recovery
A programme in trouble rarely fails for want of effort. It fails because the plan it reports against stopped describing reality months earlier, and recovery starts by replacing that plan with the truth.
Government assurance
A Gateway review is a short, independent peer review of a government programme at a decision point, run under a jurisdiction's assurance framework. The programmes that do well prepare the decision first and the documents second.
Independent assurance
A project health check is an independent, evidence-based read on whether a programme will deliver what it promised. Its value depends on timing: commissioned early it creates options, and commissioned late it mostly confirms what the budget already shows.
