Capacity-limited
Neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, burned out, or otherwise unable to plan by brute force.
Relocation Systems Planning
For moves too specific for generic advice.
You're considering an international move, and the usual checklist doesn't quite fit; capacity, identity, household dynamics, medical continuity, safety, money, timing, and destination uncertainty are all part of the system.
This is offered by inquiry, not as a productized service with a pricing menu; my own work is the research, and this is something I do for the people it genuinely fits. If that's you, tell me about your move and I'll say honestly whether I can help.
What this service does
Soft systems belong in the plan.
Legal, tax, money, documents, housing, shipping, healthcare, and arrival logistics all matter. So do capacity, identity, household dynamics, support continuity, and the cost of trying to hold too much alone.
I plan the move; the specialists do the filing.
I won't file your visa, register your business, or do your taxes; that's what your attorney, accountant, mover, and housing providers are for. My job is to map the whole move so each of them does their narrower part at the right moment, and nothing falls through the gaps between them.
Good fit
Built for people whose constraint matters.
What these people share is a situation: a move that feels non-optional or high-stakes, planned with a standard relocation system that was never built for a life like yours.
Identity-aware
LGBTQ+ people and households weighing safety, belonging, documentation, or support continuity.
Household-shaped
Partners, children, dependents, pets, family systems, or other people whose needs affect the move.
Still deciding
People comparing destinations, timelines, or pathways before committing to one version of the move.
How I'd help
The kinds of things I'd make for you.
These are the written planning artifacts a complex move tends to need - not a fixed checklist you buy in full. We'd scope to your situation, and you keep whatever we make, to use long after the calls are over.
Intake & Situation Brief
Your canonical reference: where you are, where you are going, what is known, and what is hard.
Relocation Systems Map
A map of the systems involved in your move and the leverage points that change the plan.
Critical Path Timeline
What has to happen by when, with irreversible commitments called out clearly.
Dependency Map
What depends on what, so a slip in one area does not become invisible downstream.
Provider Shortlist
Attorneys, accountants, movers, housing providers, or other specialists screened for fit.
Document Readiness Checklist
The documents your move is likely to need, organized in the order you will need them.
Budget & Risk Register
Estimated costs, explicit risk holds, and the assumptions those numbers depend on.
First 90 Days Landing Plan
The first three months after arrival, sequenced so the first things happen first.
Methodology
The method is public.
The methodology library is published openly at GitHub, currently sixteen essays at v0.1 quality. It covers system identification, evidence handling, confidence labels, provenance, visibility, and capacity-as-architecture.
See how I think before you commit.
Most relocation advisors don't publish their method. I do, because the method is the product; if it doesn't match how you want your move planned, you'll know that before you've paid for anything.

Boundaries
I plan the move; specialists do the specialist work.
The scope discipline is part of the value; you get someone who spots the handoffs, briefs your providers well, and folds their input back into the larger plan.
What I do
Map systems and dependencies, sequence timelines, identify provider needs, prepare specialist handoffs, organize documents, and help you understand the whole board.
What I don't do
Legal advice, immigration representation, tax advice, financial planning, therapy, realtor work, travel-agent work, or filing paperwork on your behalf.
Privacy
Your situation stays yours.
I use your intake only to follow up with you about your move. I won't sell it, add you to a marketing list, or turn your move into content without your explicit say-so.
I keep your materials local.
Once an engagement begins, I keep the working materials on a local encrypted workstation, not in cloud AI tools or shared client databases.
If it's what you need, get in touch.
Tell me a few sentences about your situation and what feels hardest. I'll respond personally if it looks like a fit, and honestly if it doesn't.
