§ 04 / ENGAGEMENT

How we work.

Dong.vc isn't a one-person show. It also isn't a traditional consulting firm.

§ 01 / Operating team

No client works with a team member Dong hasn't personally met and briefed.

STEP 01

Diagnostic Phase

DONG DIRECTLY

Dong leads the entire diagnostic phase. Not delegatable. Output: Engagement Charter and Governance Health Report.

STEP 02

Implementation Phase

DONG + SENIOR ADVISORS

Senior Advisors lead execution, Dong in oversight and weekly review. Dong participates in every key decision.

STEP 03

Research & Analysis

ASSOCIATES SUPPORT

Associates support research, data, documentation — but never lead client relationships.

STEP 04

Specialist Capability

ECOSYSTEM PARTNERS

Pulled in when engagement needs specific capability. Dong.vc retains the single accountable partner role.

§ 02 / Charter builder

Framed through Đông Rùa: which layer does the real problem live in?

In one sentence, what you think the problem is

Not 'improved culture'. Specific metrics measured before and after.

Primary metric + target

Specific milestones, not open-ended.

Overall duration

At each gate, both sides decide: continue, adjust, or close.

Preferred review cadence

Fill in the steps — your Charter will assemble here.

A real Charter is signed by both sides after the diagnostic phase.

§ 03 / Self-diagnostic

§ 04 / Bandwidth

Max clients in Diagnostic Phase at any time — Dong directly leads

Max active clients at any time — including Implementation Phase

100%

Client engagements directly briefed & reviewed by Dong

When bandwidth is full, we don't take more. This isn't marketing scarcity — it's a commitment to diagnostic quality.
