Independent Document Reviews

Your document. The right expertise. An independent opinion.

Have an important technology proposal, design or other document independently assessed by a specialist with relevant experience. We identify what stands up to scrutiny, what may be missing and what deserves attention before you rely on it.

From £2,000 + VAT for suitably scoped reviews. The final fixed fee depends on document complexity, volume and specialist effort.

What we review

Illustrative document types include supplier proposals and statements of work, technical designs and architectures, implementation and migration plans, investment cases, and operating or delivery documentation. Your requirement does not need to match a fixed category.

What you receive

A concise written assessment identifying what appears sound, what is missing, unclear or unsupported, material risks or concerns, and practical suggestions and questions to resolve. A discussion of the findings can be included where agreed in scope.

The review examines the documents and questions agreed with you. It is not a guarantee about the entire underlying project, programme or operating environment unless that is explicitly scoped.

Questions

Document review FAQ

What if the review confirms the document is sound?

A positive conclusion is a valid outcome. This is a standalone review and does not automatically lead to further consultancy.

How is the fee set?

Hadley proposes reviewer profile, scope, fixed fee and delivery date before you appoint us. From £2,000 + VAT for suitably scoped reviews.

What does Hadley add beyond an AI review?

A document can be internally consistent while describing an approach that will struggle in practice. Critical responsibilities may be ambiguous, dependencies unconfirmed or expectations different on either side of the agreement.

Our review uses the document as a starting point. We investigate material uncertainties with the relevant people and assess their commercial and operational consequences. If you already have an AI review, we can test its findings and identify what still needs attention.
