Said Scope Was Clear
Rachel Marchand
Co-founder, SaaS startup — Montréal
"We had been putting off getting our corporate paperwork in order for almost two years. The Documentation Literacy Programme gave us a clear picture of what needed to exist and why. The readiness checklist was the most useful thing — we could see exactly what was missing."

Thomas Nguyen
Operations Manager, consulting firm — Ottawa
"The knowledge base was the thing we kept saying we would build eventually. Ginzburg Legal made it happen in five weeks. The collaborative writing sessions were more useful than I expected — by the end our team actually knew how to write articles themselves, which was the part we had always skipped."

Amélie Fortin
CEO, professional services — Québec City
"I was mainly interested in sorting out how decisions were being made as the team grew. The operations advisory gave us a written structure that everyone could refer back to. The three-month review was a nice touch — they checked in on whether it was actually working, which most advisers don't do."

Jean-Philippe Beaulieu
Founder, technology company — Montréal
"The Documentation Literacy sessions were clear and direct. What I appreciated was that the scope was honest — they explained exactly what the programme covered and what questions we should take elsewhere. That straightforwardness is less common than it should be."

Sunita Kapoor
Team lead, product company — Toronto
"Our team of twelve was spending a surprising amount of time answering questions that should have been written down somewhere. After the Knowledge Base Build, the volume of those back-and-forth messages dropped noticeably. The tagging structure made the difference — people could actually find what they were looking for."

Marc Charbonneau
COO, growth-stage company — Montréal
"The operations advisory was useful for the workshops specifically. Having a facilitated session where leadership had to work through reporting lines and decision authority together — with someone outside the company taking notes and pushing back — produced a clearer result than we would have managed on our own."

Case Study 01 — Knowledge Base Build
The Situation
A consulting firm of eighteen people had grown from six over three years. Senior staff were spending several hours per week answering questions from newer team members — questions about process, tools, client expectations, and how the firm operated. The information existed but lived in people's heads and in scattered email threads.
What We Built
Over five weeks, we ran an information audit, agreed on twelve topic areas, and wrote twenty pilot articles with the firm's operations and delivery teams. We designed a tagging scheme and assigned ownership — each area had a named person responsible for keeping it current. A short authoring guide let anyone on the team add articles without needing to consult us.
The Outcome
After two months, the team reported a noticeable drop in internal question volume. Onboarding new staff took less time because the answers to common questions existed and were findable. The knowledge base has continued to grow — the team had added forty-three articles of their own within ninety days of handover.
"The tagging structure made the difference. Articles were findable, and people trusted the content was current because ownership was clear." — Operations Manager
Case Study 02 — Operations Advisory
The Situation
A company that had grown from five to twenty people in eighteen months was experiencing friction in day-to-day operations. Decisions were being escalated to the founders that should have been handled by team leads. Onboarding was inconsistent. Meetings ran long because the purpose and authority of each one was unclear.
What We Delivered
Ten weeks: discovery interviews with four leaders, two workshops to agree on reporting lines and decision authority, and a written operating model covering meeting structure, approval thresholds, document routines, onboarding steps, and communication channels. A measurement set tracked where coordination effort was going.
The Outcome
The three-month review showed the operating model was being followed in most areas. The founders reported fewer decisions being escalated to them. Onboarding had become consistent — new team members were following the same steps. The meeting structure had been adjusted slightly from the original design but the changes were intentional and documented.
"Having a written document that everyone could refer back to made it easier to hold the structure in place. It's harder to drift when the expected way of working is written down." — CEO
Case Study 03 — Documentation Literacy
The Situation
A founder of a two-year-old company was preparing for a seed round and was unsure what a tidy data room looked like, which records needed to be in order, and how corporate documents were typically organised. The company had a lawyer for specific transactions but not someone to explain the general picture.
What We Covered
Three sessions covering document register structure, how board and shareholder records are typically filed, version history practices, and data-room organisation. The programme is general education and does not advise on individual arrangements — the founder left with a checklist and a folder structure she could apply herself or share with her lawyer.
The Outcome
The founder reported that the readiness checklist was immediately useful — she could see at a glance which items existed, which needed to be located, and which needed to be created. The programme did not replace her legal counsel but gave her the vocabulary and structure to work with them more efficiently.
"I came in not knowing what I didn't know. I left with a checklist and a clear sense of what our records should look like. That was the goal." — Founder
