Phase 1
Discover
Understand the institution before proposing the solution.
- Executive interviews and stakeholder mapping
- Current-state capability and architecture assessment
- Regulatory, risk and audit landscape review
The HUDSON10 Delivery Method
A disciplined, regulator-grade method for enterprise transformation.
Our methodology has been refined inside Tier-1 institutions and aligned with the supervisory expectations of the regimes they operate within. It is the operating system behind every HUDSON10 engagement.
Six phases
Discover → Assure
Outcome-led
Benefits proven, not promised
Auditable
Every artefact, traceable
Guiding principles
The non-negotiables of HUDSON10 delivery.
These principles are applied without exception across every engagement, regardless of size, geography or sector.
Accountability single-threaded
One partner owns the outcome from scoping to assurance.
Architecture before activity
No build begins without a defensible target architecture.
Controls designed in
Risk, security and compliance shaped at design, not retrofitted.
Capability transferred
Internal teams own the system long after we depart.
The six phases
From discovery to assurance.
Each phase produces defined artefacts, gating criteria and executive checkpoints — designed to withstand internal audit and supervisory review.
Phase 2
Architect
Anchor change to a defensible target operating model.
- Target-state architecture aligned to BIAN / TOGAF
- Capability, data, application and technology blueprints
- Investment case and sequencing roadmap
Phase 3
Design
Translate architecture into delivery-ready design.
- Solution design, integration patterns and data contracts
- Control design for risk, security and compliance
- Vendor selection and technology proofs
Phase 4
Build
Deliver in disciplined, regulator-grade increments.
- Agile delivery scaled with SAFe where required
- Engineering practices: CI/CD, IaC, automated assurance
- Embedded model risk and security review
Phase 5
Run
Transition the change into a durable operating state.
- Operational readiness and resilience testing (DORA aligned)
- Service introduction, runbooks and SRE practices
- Knowledge transfer to internal teams
Phase 6
Assure
Prove the outcome to internal and external scrutiny.
- Independent benefits realisation review
- Regulatory readiness and supervisory artefacts
- Continuous improvement and capability uplift
Programme governance
Built to withstand supervisory scrutiny.
Every HUDSON10 programme runs under a governance overlay aligned to the three lines of defence, with executive sponsors, design authorities and independent assurance integrated from day one.
Executive Steering
Sponsor-level oversight and benefits accountability
Design Authority
Architecture and design integrity across the programme
Risk & Compliance
Embedded second-line review of controls and conduct
Independent Assurance
Third-line and external supervisory readiness
