Know exactly which side you're on — before the board asks. A free, quantified confidence score, with your full report reviewed by certified SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 experts. Not a checklist. A number you can defend.
Gartner predicts that by 2027, more than 70% of recently implemented ERP initiatives will fail to fully meet their original business case goals — and as many as 25% will fail catastrophically.
Generic checklists say nothing specific enough to act on. Traditional health checks are accurate — eventually — after six weeks of billing inside the project they were assessing.
| Dimension | Generic Checklists | Traditional Health Checks | Orpington Diagnostic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output | Yes / No boxes | Lengthy PDF | Quantified confidence score |
| Variable weighting | None | Varies by consultant | Gartner-aligned weighting |
| Time to result | Same day | 3–6 weeks + billing | 15 minutes to start |
| Data transparency | None | Partial | Full assumption disclosure |
| Platform-certified review | No | Yes — expensive | Yes — on your full report |
| Defensible in boardroom | No | Sometimes | Built for exactly that moment |
The Orpington Implementation Confidence Diagnostic gave her a precise score — not a traffic light, not a vendor opinion. A quantified probability, built on the exact variables Gartner identifies as the real predictors of ERP failure.
"For the first time, I know exactly what the risks are, which ones are real, and which ones are already under control."

What you get, in detail →
She didn't show a traffic-light slide. She showed a score. A number derived from the exact variables Gartner identifies as the actual predictors — executive alignment, change management readiness, data migration integrity, integrator incentive structure.
"Here's where we actually stand. Here's what the risks are. Here's exactly what we're doing about each one."
The board didn't ask "are you sure?" — because she had already answered the question before they could ask it. That's what the Orpington Diagnostic is built to do.
The free Confidence Score reveals the truth. What follows depends on what the score shows — and how much of the work you want Orpington to carry.
One call is all it takes to determine which path fits your situation and timeline.
An instant, self-reported confidence score plus your top 3 risk flags. 15 minutes, no sign-up.
Every self-reported answer verified against real evidence, then reviewed by a certified platform expert.
Focused advisory sprints to close a known risk before it costs you the project.
Independent oversight from platform selection through hypercare.
Scope creep, missed milestones, integrator disputes — we stop the bleed.
"Vendor-neutral" means the reviewer doesn't know your platform deeply enough to tell you what the integrator got wrong. We know the platform.
No day rates, no open-ended retainers. You know what each stage costs before you commit to it — and the diagnostic that starts the relationship is free.
| Service | Tier A | Tier B | Tier C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Confidence Diagnostic | Free | Free | Free |
| Full Diagnostic Report | $4,900 | $8,500 | $14,500 |
| Risk Remediation sprint | $18,000–$28,000 | $35,000–$55,000 | $70,000–$110,000 |
| Full Implementation Partnership | $85,000–$140,000 | $150,000–$280,000 | $300,000–$550,000+ |
Fees are fixed and confirmed in writing before work begins. Duration is agreed at scoping and set out in the statement of work — it depends on evidence availability, platform footprint and the number of entities in scope, so we do not quote a turnaround before we have seen the programme.
Independent oversight is a small fraction of what an implementation costs — and it is the only line item on this page whose job is to protect the others.
| Big Four / global SI | ERP boutique | Orpington | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you are billed | Hourly or daily, commonly $300–$900 per hour depending on grade and market | Hourly or project-based, commonly $150–$350 per hour | Fixed fee per stage, published above |
| Readiness assessment | Usually bundled inside a larger paid engagement | Rarely sold on its own | Free instant score; full verified report from $4,900 |
| Comparable implementation | Mid-market first-year programmes commonly $150,000–$750,000 | Around $250,000–$700,000 for comparable scope | $85,000–$550,000+ depending on tier |
| Who does the work | Partners sell; delivery often sits with junior staff | Senior-led, smaller teams | Certified SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, NetSuite and Odoo practitioners |
| Independence | Frequently also the implementer being assessed | Frequently also the implementer being assessed | Oversight only — we hold no build contract on your programme |
Comparison figures are published market ranges for ERP and management consulting, not quotations from named firms; rates vary by grade, region and scope. Sources: ERP consultant fee benchmarks, consulting rate surveys. Orpington fees are fixed and quoted in writing before any work begins.
The instant ERP Confidence Score is free. The Full ERP Diagnostic Report — where every self-reported answer is verified against documentary evidence and reviewed by a certified platform expert — is $4,900, $8,500 or $14,500 depending on the programme tier. Fees are fixed and confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Tier A is a single entity on one platform in one country, typically under 250 users. Tier B covers multiple entities or countries, or more than one integrated platform. Tier C is enterprise scale — multi-platform, multi-region, or a recovery already in progress.
Big Four and global system integrators generally bill hourly, commonly in the range of $300 to $900 per hour depending on grade and market, and rarely sell a readiness assessment on its own. Orpington charges a fixed fee per stage, published up front, starting with a free score and a full verified report from $4,900. These are published market ranges rather than quotations from named firms.
Oversight is a small fraction of what an implementation costs. Mid-market first-year ERP programmes commonly run between $150,000 and $750,000, so a diagnostic priced in the thousands is a fraction of a percent of the programme it protects. The relevant comparison is not the fee but the cost of discovering a data or testing gap after go-live rather than before.
No. Every stage has a fixed fee, published on this page and confirmed in writing before work begins. There are no day rates, no open-ended retainers and no minimum engagement.
Two reasons. There is no pyramid structure — the people who review your evidence are the certified practitioners, not junior staff under a partner's rate card. And we hold no build contract on your programme, so the engagement is scoped to verification rather than to selling downstream implementation work.

We don't write for "stakeholders." We write for the three executives who cannot hide behind one.
A write-off is recoverable. A write-off you didn't see coming isn't. The Confidence Score gives you the precise data point to defend the spend — or the decision to stop it — before the board meeting, not during it.
The variables that kill ERP projects — executive misalignment, scope decisions, integrator incentive structures — sit above the CIO's line. The diagnostic documents them. Before go-live, not after the inquiry.
Process decisions made by the integrator, by default, for operational convenience — become your problem on Day 1. The diagnostic surfaces every assumption your operations team hasn't signed off on yet.
Feedback from the teams and executives we've worked with — on the diagnostic, the implementation, and everything in between.
The diagnostic gave us a number we could defend in the boardroom — and it pointed us straight at the two risks that mattered most, early enough to fix them without moving our go-live.

When dashboards reported ‘green’ but our true readiness was sitting at 45%, Orpington stepped in, uncovered critical data and performance blind spots, and guided us to a clean, verified 92% go-live.

Orpington didn’t sell us generic advice — they untangled an operational nightmare. They understood the unique mechanics of agricultural export and stabilised our Odoo environment…

Gartner predicts that by 2027, more than 70% of recently implemented ERP initiatives will fail to fully meet their original business case goals, and that as many as 25% will fail catastrophically — research published in 2024 and presented by its ERP strategy team. Treat the older ranges you see quoted elsewhere with more caution: figures such as “55–75%” are widely attributed to Gartner but are difficult to trace to any published source, and different research houses have reported both high failure and high success rates depending on the year and on how “failure” was defined. What matters for your programme is not the industry average but your own evidence: end-to-end test coverage, signed data reconciliation, open severity-one defects and cutover rehearsal results.
It is a quantified, evidence-based probability that an ERP project will meet its go-live objectives, calculated from the variables most strongly correlated with ERP outcomes — executive sponsorship, change management readiness, testing discipline, data migration integrity, integration testing, and go-live strategy.
Yes. The instant self-reported score takes about 15 minutes and is free with no retainer. The full report, which verifies self-reported answers against documentation and adds a certified platform-expert review, is a paid add-on.

The free calculator asks 6 questions and takes under 90 seconds. Answers never leave the browser — nothing is saved, sent, or stored. The result is an instant confidence score out of 100, a per-category risk chart, and your top risk flags, downloadable as a PNG with no sign-up.
The full report — a document-backed review by a certified platform expert covering test logs, reconciliation reports, and UAT sign-off evidence — is delivered to a timeline agreed at scoping.
The free score is self-reported: you answer six questions and receive an instant weighted score out of 100 with your top risk flags, with nothing verified. The Full ERP Diagnostic Report is the paid upgrade: every answer is checked against documentary evidence such as test logs, reconciliation reports and UAT sign-off, and a certified platform expert reviews the findings. The result is a board-ready PDF with a defensible score, risks ranked by severity, and a prioritised remediation sequence.
A verified confidence score you can defend to a board or auditor, a per-category breakdown across the six scored variables, every identified risk ranked by severity, the documentary evidence each finding is based on, and a remediation sequence in priority order. It is delivered as a board-ready PDF, with the timeline agreed at scoping.
Test logs and defect tracking, data reconciliation reports for migrated master and transactional data, user acceptance testing sign-off records, integration and interface test results, and the cutover runbook including rollback criteria. Self-reported status is compared against these documents rather than taken at face value.

Is there a named, accountable executive sponsor actively involved week-to-week?
Is there a formal training & communication plan for end users before go-live?
Has UAT covered edge cases (large transactions, period-end close, manual overrides) — not just the happy path?
Has migrated data been reconciled against the legacy system (trial balance, inventory, open orders)?
Have required integrations (WMS, CRM, payroll, banking, etc.) been tested end-to-end under realistic load?
Is there a documented rollback plan and a post-go-live stabilization period defined?
