Training creates capability. Consulting creates sustainability. Bear Process Safety, the exclusive authorized provider of the Sherpa Cognitive Verification Method in Louisiana, provides consulting engagements that embed cognitive verification into your organizational systems so the method survives leadership transitions, ownership changes, and the natural drift that degrades every safety initiative without measurement discipline.
ABCD Framework Implementation
The ABCD Framework provides a structured pathway from initial assessment through full operational integration. Assess identifies your baseline cognitive verification gaps. Build customizes Sherpavisor scripts and documentation to your operational context. Coach delivers the Crucible intervention to your supervisory workforce. Demonstrate establishes CVQF measurement and proves the method works in your environment.
CVQF Measurement Integration
The Cognitive Verification Quality Framework tracks four indicators: COV (Cognitive Ownership Verification), LFA (Leadership Focus Assessment), PAM (Predictive Accuracy Measure), and IVC (Investigation Verification Check). Consulting engagements include dashboard design, data collection protocols, Tier 2 verifier training, and leadership review cadence setup. The measurement burden sits entirely with leadership rather than frontline workers.
Post-Incident Response
Organizations that have experienced a serious incident or fatality often discover the Verification Gap in the worst possible way: during the investigation. Consulting engagements in this context focus on integrating cognitive verification into the corrective action plan, establishing measurement systems to demonstrate organizational change, and building the evidence package that regulators and stakeholders require.
Root Cause Investigation
Investigation engagements use TapRoot root cause analysis to move past "human error" and into the systemic conditions that allowed an incident to occur. Most investigation frameworks have no category for cognitive verification failure, so corrective actions default to administrative controls: more training, another procedure revision, enhanced documentation. The 85% pattern repeats because nobody asks whether anyone was thinking about task-specific risk before execution. Sherpa integrates cognitive verification into each phase of the ABCD Framework so that corrective actions produce actual cognitive engagement rather than more paperwork.
Engagement Structure
Every consulting engagement begins with a conversation about your current state, your operational context, and whether cognitive verification is the right tool for the problem you are trying to solve. There is no standard package. The method is the same, but the implementation is tailored to your organization, your workforce, and your existing safety management system.
