Your distribution network hasn't been evaluated in years, or you're facing a major decision—cost reduction mandate, acquisition integration, capacity expansion. You need rigorous analysis and implementable recommendations, delivered by practitioners who've done this 80+ times.
Complete network optimization in 6-9 weeks. Baseline analysis, scenario modeling, and an implementation roadmap with clear business cases at 40-60% less than traditional consulting.
You've invested in modeling software and analytics talent, but the ROI isn't there. Models take too long. Recommendations don't influence decisions. Leadership is questioning the investment.
We transform underperforming Centers of Excellence into Supply Chain Solutions Labs—teams that
drive decisions rather than produce reports. Visible improvement in 60 days.
You can hire a large consulting firm and get analysts using methodology I developed. Or you can work directly with the person who wrote it.

20 years. 80+ network studies. Fortune 500 clients.
I spent two decades at Chainalytics developing the analytical methodology that established them as an industry-leading network design provider. That same rigor—refined across agriculture, food & beverage, CPG, retail, distribution, and durable goods—is now available through Cobalt.
Faster delivery. Lower cost. No corners cut.
We've integrated AI tools throughout our delivery process—data preparation, scenario modeling, documentation, visualization. Work that took consulting teams weeks now takes days. The result: 6-9 week projects instead of 12-16, at 40-60% lower fees, with more time spent on the strategic questions that matter.
The people who scope it deliver it.
Large firms sell you a partner and staff you with analysts. Our model is different. Senior practitioners lead every engagement from kickoff to final presentation. No bait-and-switch. No learning on your project.
We measure success by what gets done.
Most consulting recommendations never get implemented—the analysis sits in a PowerPoint and nothing changes. Our methodology is built around implementation from day one: stakeholder alignment throughout, clear business cases for every recommendation, and actionable roadmaps that connect analysis to operational change.
Results vary by client situation, but these ranges reflect typical outcomes across our portfolio of engagements.
You know something isn't right—costs too high, service slipping, team not delivering—but you're not sure whether you need a project or a team overhaul. Start with a conversation.
In 30 minutes, we can help you determine whether your current team could deliver what you need with the right support, whether a focused project would solve your immediate problem, or what combination makes sense for your situation.
We're not trying to sell you the most expensive option. We're trying to match the right approach to your actual situation.
Whether you have a specific project in mind or just want to explore options, we're happy to have a conversation.
