Most capital projects start to fail in the first 10%— because they commit to scope, budget, and schedule before they’ve defined the right problems.


Duplex Loop fixes that. We’re an Owner’s Rep for Innovation. We bring structure and speed to your early-stage decision making. This means you deliver new pursuits faster, in alignment with enterprise goals and in alignment with your end-delivery teams.



Most capital projects start to fail in the first 10%—not because teams lack talent, but because they’re forced to commit to scope, budget, and schedule before they’ve defined the right problem.


Duplex Loop fixes that. We bring a structured pre-delivery method that aligns stakeholders, prioritizes the decisions to be made early, and produces a ready-to-build roadmap to make the rest of the project work like it should.

Lack of definition leads to unreliable decision-making, high end-risk, resource waste, and delivery delays. We start engagements with hands-on facilitation to enable a clear vision and prioritize the unique, critical problems that make your team not ready for delivery.


This is the Owners Decision backlog, and it is custom-designed to unlock your project.

Design takes too long, and conventional staged delivery takes even longer. Alternatives that productize delivery, enable optionality or accelerate value gain needs to be studied quickly.

Duplex Loop enables fast effective collaboration using "product" style teams to work rapidly off a roadmap to prototype, test, and align on the right solutions for best value.
