SOLUTIONS | BY SIZE · BY ROLE · BY PROBLEM

The same platform. A different conversation at each table.

A six-partner firm in Riyadh has different first questions than a 200-person firm in Manchester. A Quality Partner reads falconry.one differently than the Managing Partner does. Below — three lenses, the same product underneath.

§01 / BY FIRM SIZE

Three deployment shapes same spine, different surface.

falconry.one is the same product whether your firm is sixty people or six hundred. What changes is what you turn on, how it integrates, and what your implementation team looks like.

15 – 80 professionals

SHAPE 02

Mid-tier networks

80 – 400 professionals

§02 / BY ROLE

The platform is the same. Each chair sees a different view.

Audit firms are run by partners with sharply different mandates. falconry.one surfaces what each role actually checks — and hides what they don't. The questions below are the literal first ones we've heard in discovery calls.

Quality Partner

"Can I produce an inspector-ready SoQM evaluation in 48 hours, with refreshable evidence?"

Yes. The eight ISQM 1 components are mapped, populated continuously, and exportable as an evidence pack on demand. Independence confirmations and EQR completion update live. Root-cause coding ties remediation back to the original observation.

Managing Partner

"Where is partner time leaking, and what is the recovery position by office, by sector, by partner?"

A single Monday-morning view: WIP, recovery, utilisation, partner KPIs, quality status — exportable straight to your board pack. Quality and economics in one frame, not two systems and a reconciliation.

IT & Risk Director

"What is the data residency story, the security posture, and how does it connect to my existing stack?"

ISO 27001-aligned. Regional residency in KSA, UK, EU and South Africa. SSO via Entra / Okta / Google. Native connectors to CCH, Caseware, Microsoft 365. Quarterly external pen tests. SOC 2 Type II in progress.

Engagement Partner

"Can I see my engagements' health, my staff's CPD status, and my pending sign-offs without opening four systems? "

Yes. One workspace, configured for engagement-partner role. Engagement health cards, EQR pending review, staff CPD wallet, time approvals — all in the same screen. Mobile-friendly for partners on the road.

Data Protection Officer

"Can I run my GDPR/PDPL/POPIA programme on this — RoPA, DPIA, DSR, breach — without buying a second tool? "

Yes. The Protect pillar covers the full DPO toolkit: records of processing, lawful-basis register, DPIA workflow, data-subject-rights tracker, and breach-notification timer with regulator-specific deadlines.

Practice COO

"What changes operationally on Monday — for engagement teams, for support teams, for me?"

Engagement teams: one place to log time, evidence and confirmations. Support teams: workflow-driven instead of inbox-driven. You: a real-time view of capacity, recovery and risk that doesn't require a Friday data refresh.

§03 / BY PROBLEM

Six things firms routinely tell us in discovery.

If two of these sound like your firm, the conversation is probably worth a 45 minutes. The before/after isn't aspirational — it's the documented shape of the change in current deployments.

№ 01 · ISQM 1

"We rebuild our SoQM every year."

BEFORE

Six weeks of partner time gathering evidence into a Word document that gets refreshed annually.

AFTER

SoQM components updated continuously across the cycle. Evidence exported in 48 hours, not six weeks.

−85% partner hours per cycle

№ 02 · INDEPENDENCE

"Our independence file is a pdf hunt. "

BEFORE

Annual confirmations on email, restricted-entity register on a shared drive, no live monitoring.

AFTER

Live confirmations, restricted-entity workflow, conflict screening before client acceptance — every event logged.

−97% completion within 14 days

№ 03 · INSPECTION

"We panic when AQR letter lands."

BEFORE

Three weeks of late nights pulling evidence from emails, file shares and people's heads.

AFTER

Inspector-ready evidence pack generated on demand. Methodology already documented. Trail already there.

1 click to inspector pack

№ 04 · WIP & RECOVERY

"Recovery surprises us at year end. "

BEFORE

Partners discover write-offs at engagement close. Budget vs actual reviewed monthly, sometimes quarterly.

AFTER

Live engagement health, early-stage budget alerts, partner-level WIP visible every day.

+2.3% recovery uplift documented

№ 05 · CYBER & DATA

"We're told we're compliant."

BEFORE

Cyber controls in a vendor's tool, data protection in a spreadsheet, no link between the two.

AFTER

One control library mapped to ISO 27001 / NIST / GDPR / PDPL. Attestation cycles with evidence. DPO and CISO using the same view.

1 register across cyber + privacy

№ 06 · CPD & PEOPLE

"We chase CPD all year."

BEFORE

HR chases professionals for CPD evidence weeks before the institute deadline. Evidence on email.

AFTER

Personal CPD wallets, automatic exception flagging, partner-level visibility before deadlines hit.

0 institute deadline misses, FY25

§06 / NEXT STEPS

The 45-minute conversation
that pays for itself.

A live walkthrough of an ISQM 1 SoQM evaluation on the platform — against your firm's existing manual and inspection history. You see exactly what the partner view looks like, what the evidence pack contains, and what the 8-week deployment would mean for your cycle.
