Three structured services, each designed for a different stage of continuity readiness.
Whether you are starting with a first assessment or building a full organisational practice, there is a Brackish engagement that fits where you are right now.
Back to HomeHow Brackish approaches continuity advisory
Every Brackish engagement begins with the same question: what does this organisation actually depend on to keep running? The answer is rarely what people assume at the start of the conversation.
From that starting point, we work through dependencies, recovery priorities, documentation gaps, and ownership questions — in a sequence that makes sense for your team's size and existing knowledge. The work is practical and unhurried. We do not rush to produce a finished document before the thinking behind it is sound.
Each service tier follows this same logic but at a different depth and scope, producing outputs that are proportionate to what the organisation actually needs at this stage.
Assess first
We understand your operations before making any recommendations. Every engagement begins with structured listening.
Build in stages
Planning work is staged across sessions, with clear outputs at each point so your team can see and act on progress.
Document clearly
Written outputs are produced in plain language for the people who will use them — not for consultants or certification bodies.
Review regularly
Longer engagements embed review habits so your continuity documentation remains current as the organisation changes.
Continuity Snapshot
A guided review of how prepared your business is for disruptions to its everyday operations. This is a structured diagnostic session with an experienced Brackish adviser, covering critical functions, key dependencies, and obvious gaps in your current preparedness.
The session concludes with a short written note summarising findings and suggesting practical first steps. Suited to organisations that have not started planning formally and want to understand what they are dealing with before committing to anything larger.
What is covered
- Review of critical operational functions and their dependencies
- Assessment of key-person risks and supplier dependencies
- Gap identification against basic continuity readiness criteria
- Written findings note with prioritised first steps
How it proceeds

Continuity Planning Advisory
A staged engagement helping your team build a clear, practical continuity plan covering key operations and straightforward recovery steps. Designed for organisations that are ready to move from awareness to a documented plan they can act on.
Across four sessions, we work through your critical functions in sequence — identifying priorities, documenting procedures, establishing communication lines, and reviewing the completed plan before handover. Templates are included at each stage to reduce the writing burden on your team.
What is produced
- Continuity plan covering three to five critical functions
- Completed dependency map and recovery priority list
- Communication tree with verified contacts
- Practical templates for future updates and reviews
Session sequence
- 1Operations overview and function prioritisation
- 2Dependency mapping and recovery steps documentation

Continuity Practice Programme
A comprehensive engagement building a maintainable continuity practice with full documentation, light scenario drills, and review habits embedded into how your organisation operates. Designed for established organisations making a deliberate investment in resilience.
Over eleven sessions, we develop a complete playbook set, conduct two light scenario exercises, and establish review and update cycles that your team can maintain independently after the engagement concludes. The result is a continuity practice — not just a document.

- Full continuity playbook set covering all critical functions

What applies to every Brackish engagement
Confidentiality
A confidentiality agreement is signed before any operational information is shared. Your processes and documentation remain private to Brackish.
Written scope agreement
Sessions, deliverables, and fees are set out in writing before work begins. Changes require mutual agreement before proceeding.
Senior adviser involvement
Advisory sessions are led by experienced practitioners, not delegated to junior staff after the initial meeting.
Your documents, your ownership
All documentation produced during an engagement belongs to your organisation from the moment it is produced. No proprietary platform required.
Not sure which service fits your situation?
A short conversation with an adviser will help clarify the right starting point. There is no obligation to proceed after that conversation.
