Flagship engagement · Forensic Governance

U.S. Postal Service — DRO Program

Scope · Forensic Governance Assessment Methodology · Guardian Red Flags · quantitative risk assessment Outcome · OIG audit later surfaced the same systemic issues

Identified systemic program failure in a $1.2B+ USPS modernization initiative 6+ months before the OIG audit surfaced the same issues. The methodology — Guardian Red Flags layered over quantitative risk assessment — detects implementation theater, KPI manipulation, and decision dissonance that milestone-based reviews systematically miss.

The subsequent OIG investigation later surfaced the same systemic issues we identified. The case demonstrates Forensic Governance as a discipline distinct from compliance review and milestone monitoring.
