A Letter To Ian Fleming.
The practice is named after a man who read somebody else's work closely, found the error, and was listened to.
In 1956 a Glasgow firearms expert named Geoffrey Boothroyd wrote to the novelist Ian Fleming to tell him the pistol his hero carried was the wrong choice for the work. Fleming did not take offence. He took the advice, and named a character after the man who had written the letter.
The outside specialist who reads somebody else's work closely enough to find the error, and is right enough to be listened to.
I spent fifteen years designing and running connectivity for operations that could not afford to stop, and I kept being called in after the decision had already been made. Usually the equipment was fine. The thinking around it was not.
Boothroyd exists to be involved earlier than that. The work is specification before it is installation: reading what somebody has proposed, understanding what the operation actually needs, and being willing to say the two do not match.
That is a deliberate limit on how fast the practice can grow, and a deliberate guarantee about what you are buying. The practice grows by adding senior advisors and partners, named to the client who is getting them. Nobody is hired to be billed at a margin.
