I'm flexible. I can dig deeper into – or totally skip – particular topics on request, or address a specific area of concern from stakeholders not mentioned here.

I'm open to adapting the format, but prefer that the audit itself be timeboxed to a single workday.

For a very large organization or project, we can discuss the logistics of working over a 2-day period.
