Question 1

how is this different from embedded?

Accepted Answer

embedded is building net-new tools across whatever your team needs. optimization is focused on a single kpi — narrower problem, continuous cadence, explicit metric ownership.

Question 2

what kpis do you typically work on?

Accepted Answer

fulfilment cycle time, ticket deflection rate, invoice processing cost per unit, error rate in data pipelines, customer-response latency. anything with a reliable measurement method and a clear owner.

Question 3

minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

three months. baseline sprint plus two full build cycles — the minimum unit of work that produces a meaningful signal.
