CONSULTING
Documentation Consulting Before the Work Begins
StillPoint Documentation Services provides consulting support to define, structure, and prioritize documentation before work begins.
Consulting focuses on understanding what exists, what is unclear, what is missing, and what should be addressed first to avoid rework, confusion, or wasted effort.
If you already know what needs to be created or organized, review
Services.
For examples of completed work, see the
Portfolio.
Consulting defines the structure, scope, and direction before documentation is created, cleaned up, or rebuilt.
When Consulting Helps
- You’re not sure what documentation is needed
- Existing materials don’t reflect how work is actually done
- Information is scattered across files, emails, or notes
- You need structure before building or fixing documentation
- You want to avoid rework or inconsistent results
Consulting Support
Consulting engagements provide focused review and direction within a defined scope.

Documentation Systems & Governance
Consulting defines how documentation should be structured, controlled, and maintained over time.
- Folder and file structure
