The system is the product. Implementation is the service.
CARMA™ is a one-of-a-kind business transformation system — it prevents, directs, detects, and corrects, continuously, across the whole business. CARMAI™ puts it to work in software. DealDoctor® services put it to work in your organization: auditing what you have, installing what is missing, and training the people who will run it.
Software doesn’t transform a business. An implemented system does.
You don’t need advisory services to use CARMAI™ — the platform stands on its own. But a framework only transforms the organizations that actually install it: definitions turned into delegation matrices, obligations given owners, audits put on a calendar, evidence captured as the work happens. That is implementation work — and nobody implements a methodology like the team that wrote it.
Every engagement follows the CARMA™ System itself — the five pillars (Compliance, Auditing, Risk, Management, Alignment), the AAA Standard™ (Awareness → Alignment → Assurance), and Integris™ scoring to make results measurable. We use the same system we ship. That is the point.
Six ways we implement the system.
DealDoctor® helps organizations implement the CARMA™ Framework — whether you need hands-on setup or ongoing advisory. Every service below is the methodology applied, not generic consulting.
Contract Auditing & Performance Reviews
Powered by the CARMA™ Framework — identify risks, missed obligations, value leaks, and alignment issues across your contract portfolio. Structured findings with actionable remediation plans.
Legal Management Consulting
Design, optimize, or outsource legal departments, processes, systems, and templates aligned with business goals — from building a legal function from scratch to restructuring for performance.
Strategic Advisory
On-call guidance for legal operations, risk mitigation, and contract oversight. Available as-needed or on retainer for organizations that want experienced counsel without full-time headcount.
Legal Ops Setup & Scaling
Build high-functioning legal teams and systems — from tech stack selection to KPI design, workflow automation, and reporting structures that give leadership visibility.
Deal Negotiation Support
Clause-by-clause strategy, risk trade packages, and clean escalation paths — so business speed doesn’t outrun legal control.
Training & Mentoring
Practical training for GCs, legal ops, procurement, and business leaders — templates, playbooks, and operating rhythms that turn “best practice” into repeatable execution.
Three ways to implement CARMA™.
Many teams start self-directed and add support only where it accelerates adoption or reduces risk.
Self-Directed
Purchase the CARMA™ Framework Manual and/or the Implementation Guide and Self-Audit Package, plus optional video training, and run the program internally using your existing tools and resources. Ideal for organizations that want a structured playbook, clear steps, and the flexibility to move at their own pace.
Assisted Setup
Engage DealDoctor® or a Certified CARMA™ practitioner to help you set up CARMA™ correctly from day one. Support can include scoping, tailoring to your contract portfolio and operating model, setting roles and routines, and establishing the minimum controls and evidence needed to make CARMA™ excel.
Ongoing Advisory
Add ongoing support for periodic contract performance reviews, risk prioritization, escalation guidance, and continuous improvement. This works well when you want an experienced legal-and-audit operator available for complex deals, recurring issues, or board-level oversight.
Built for the people who own the gap.
If the distance between what is signed and what actually happens lands on your desk, this is for you.
A strong fit if you want
- Findings with owners, deadlines, and verified correction — not a slide deck
- A contract portfolio that provably delivers what it promised
- Governance your board can see and your auditors can evidence
- A methodology your team keeps after the engagement ends
Not the engagement if you want
- A logo on a report while nothing changes
- Policies written for the binder instead of the business
- A tool dropped on the team with no system behind it
- Slogans — CARMA™ runs on substance
Bring the CARMA™ System into your organization.
Fifteen minutes is enough to tell you where the leak is, which pillar it belongs to, and which of the three paths fits — self-directed, assisted, or ongoing advisory. No pitch deck.
