Diving deep across six dimensions to discover cost multipliers others miss.
The 6D Foraging Methodology™ is strategic foraging across six business dimensions to discover cost multipliers others miss. Like cormorants diving beneath the surface, we forage deep to find the 70-90% traditional analysis leaves behind.

Multiplier: 18.5×Strategic foraging delivers:
Each dimension is analyzed through three lenses:
| Lens | What It Measures | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Sound (ChirpIQX) | Urgency — How immediate is the signal? | 1-10 |
| Space (PerchIQX) | Scope — How widespread is the impact? | 1-10 |
| Time (WakeIQX) | Trajectory — Is it improving or degrading? | 1-10 |
Dimension Score = (Sound × Space × Time) ÷ 10
The cascade is real. The multiplier is measurable.
Aviation Maintenance Facility Case:
| Dimension | Observable Signal | 3D Score | Cascade Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operational (Origin) | Parts inventory issues, recurring stockouts | 42.0 | $119,000 |
| Quality | Aircraft downtime, maintenance delays | 28.0 | $330,000 |
| Employee | Technician frustration, overtime spike | 26.5 | $370,000 |
| Customer | Airlines reconsidering contracts | 27.5 | $440,000 |
| Revenue | Penalty clauses, lost contracts | 36.0 | $880,000 |
| Regulatory | FAA documentation concerns | 11.0 | $61,000 |
Total Impact: $2,200,000
