Services
Advisory services
Robinson Consulting brings independent judgment to decisions where technology, operations, learning, products, or evidence intersect. I lead each engagement and bring in trusted specialists when the work requires additional expertise or delivery capacity.
Technology second opinions
An independent review of a proposal, quote, vendor recommendation, or architecture before you commit.
Technology platform strategy
Full-stack architecture for servers, hosting, operating systems, containers, virtualization, private collaboration, media, and specialized applications.
AI and automation
Workflow automation, AI agents, internal applications, and reporting systems designed around real work.
Online learning consulting
Learning objectives, instructional design, authoring and media tools, LMS strategy, integrations, content delivery, and meaningful assessment.
Manufacturing consulting
Product and manufacturing guidance for footwear, orthotics, prosthetics, and related wearable products.
Expert-witness services
Expert support for civil matters involving orthotics and prosthetics, beginning with a conflict check.
How engagements work
Three steps, and you can stop after any of them
Start with a free conversation
We clarify the decision, the people involved, and what a useful outcome would look like. The conversation is free and does not commit either of us.
Agree on scope and fee
Defined work is usually quoted at a flat fee. Open-ended advisory work can be hourly. The deliverable, responsibilities, and fee are agreed in writing before work begins.
Use the right delivery model
Chris leads the engagement. He works directly where his judgment is the service and brings in trusted specialists when the project needs additional expertise or capacity. Any implementation work is scoped separately.
Specialist brands
When the work belongs with a specialist brand
Website production, managed hosting, and local hands-on IT each have a dedicated Robinson Consulting brand. Platform architecture, online learning strategy, AI and automation, manufacturing consulting, expert-witness services, and independent second opinions remain direct Robinson Consulting practices.

Not sure where to begin?
Describe the problem rather than choosing a service. I'll help identify the right starting point, even when it is outside Robinson Consulting.
