What We Do

Five connected service lines, all under one operational-modernization umbrella — we assess the operation, advise the leaner way to run it, and build the tools that make the change real.

01 — The Core

Operational Advisory & Management Consulting

Helping agencies run better — operating-model design through to independent validation.

  • Business process reengineering — as-is mapping, to-be redesign, SOPs, automation targeting
  • Operating-model design — in-house vs. outsourced vs. shared-service analysis
  • Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) — score solutions on cost, risk, and fit; recommend one
  • Organizational transformation, strategic planning & change management
  • Workforce & human-capital planning
  • Program evaluation, performance management & independent verification and validation (IV&V)
  • Data strategy, data governance & knowledge management

03

  • Accessibility remediation
  • VPAT preparation
Connected

Five lines,
one team.

Advisory surfaces what to automate — and we build it. Each service line feeds the next, under one accountable team rather than split across slow handoffs.

Why Northvane

One accountable team — advise and build, fused.

01

Fused advise-and-build in one accountable team

No handoff lag, no G&A markup, no overhead-driven rate inflation. Diagnose the problem, then ship the working fix.

02

AI-native delivery economics

A small, senior team augmented by modern AI tooling produces pod-level output — delivering sub-$4M projects at a fraction of a large firm's burn.

03

Speed

A working prototype in weeks, a production system in a quarter — not a multi-year roadmap.

04

Whole-problem ownership

Span software, ops advisory, workforce planning, training, and 508 to own a small-agency problem end-to-end.

Tell us where your operation is stuck. We'll assess it, advise the fix, and build it.
