Four platforms. One relationship.
Niner Advisors engages at the level a client needs, and engagements are designed to escalate as the relationship deepens.
Niner Advisors delivers four service platforms for owners of capital projects: readiness and execution assessment, capital strategy and investment assurance, project recovery and special situations, and program management and owner representation. Each answers a different question an owner is already asking, and each is a complete piece of work on its own. Most clients start with a single, bounded question, and the structure below is designed to make the next step an easy one.
The engagement ladder
Six steps, each a complete piece of work in its own right. Nothing here requires the next step to be worth commissioning.

The four platforms
Readiness & Execution Assessment
Is this project positioned to succeed?
A defined four-to-six week engagement that tells an owner, board, or investor whether a project is positioned to be delivered, before major capital is committed.
Investment Assurance
Are we deploying capital against a credible execution plan?
Capital plan review, budget validation, cost and schedule diligence, and independent project monitoring for the parties funding the work.
Project Recovery
What is actually happening, and how do we regain control?
An independent diagnostic of a project in difficulty, followed by a recovery plan the owner can act on.
Program Management
Who is protecting the owner's interests across the program?
Executive owner representation and program management office leadership, structured around defined deliverables and decision rights.
