Engagement Models
Andrade International engages with clients through structured execution models designed to match scope, timeline, and risk profile.
A fast, execution-oriented engagement designed to remove ambiguity before committing capital or timelines in Mexico. The Discovery Sprint compresses weeks of fragmented analysis into a structured assessment that aligns stakeholders, surfaces constraints early, and produces an actionable Go-to-Mexico plan.
What it includes
Rapid Assessment: High-level review of the current operating model, goals, constraints, and risk profile (trade, legal, operational).
Go-to-Mexico Plan: A step-by-step plan that translates findings into an executable sequence—what to do first, what to secure, what to validate, and what can break the timeline if ignored.
Key deliverables (tangible outputs)
Executive Brief: Findings, assumptions, constraints, and identified risk hotspots.
Who it is for
Companies evaluating Mexico market entry, nearshoring, supplier or partner representation, or cross-border trade execution—especially when legal structure, customs and regulatory compliance, and operational readiness must align from day one.
How it typically runs
Go-Live Decision Support: Structured inputs to support launch and transition into steady-state operations.
Kickoff → focused stakeholder interviews → document and data review → opportunity mapping and prioritization → executive readout and decision package.
Estructured execution engagement designed to take validated strategies and move them into active implementation. The Execution Program converts approved plans into coordinated legal, trade, and operational action, with clear ownership, milestones, and governance.
What it includes
Execution Roadmap: Detailed sequencing of legal, trade, and operational workstreams aligned to agreed timelines and dependencies.
Entity, Trade & Regulatory Execution: Entity setup, contract execution, import/export readiness, customs compliance, and regulatory coordination required to activate operations.
Operational Deployment: Site readiness, supplier onboarding, logistics configuration, and operational launch coordination.
Program Governance: Milestone tracking, issue escalation, and execution reporting to ensure accountability and decision visibility.
Key deliverables
Execution Roadmap: Approved implementation plan with milestones, owners, and critical path.
Execution Status Reports: Periodic reporting on progress, risks, and decisions required.
Operational Readiness Confirmation: Validation that legal, trade, and operational requirements are met for launch.
Who it is for
Companies that have validated a Mexico market entry, expansion, or nearshoring strategy and require disciplined execution across legal, trade, and operational dimensions.
How it typically runs
Program kickoff → execution roadmap finalization → coordinated workstream execution → milestone-based reviews → operational launch and transition.
Go-Live Decision Support: Structured inputs to support launch and transition into steady-state operations.
OPERATIONS-AS-A-SERVICE
An ongoing operational support model designed for companies that require a trusted execution partner on the ground in Mexico. Operations-as-a-Service provides continuity, compliance oversight, and operational support without the need to build a full internal structure immediately.
What it includes
Operational Oversight: Day-to-day coordination across legal, trade, and operational matters to maintain continuity and compliance.
Trade & Compliance Support: Ongoing import/export coordination, customs issue resolution, and regulatory monitoring.
Vendor & Stakeholder Coordination: Interface with suppliers, service providers, authorities, and institutional counterparts.
Issue Management & Escalation: Identification, resolution, and escalation of operational, regulatory, or execution issues as they arise.
Key deliverables
Operational Status Updates: Periodic summaries of activities, issues, and actions taken.
Compliance Monitoring: Visibility into regulatory, trade, and operational compliance posture.
Continuity Support: Ongoing execution support to sustain operations and enable stability.
Who it is for
Companies with active operations in Mexico that require reliable on-the-ground execution, compliance oversight, and operational continuity without expanding internal headcount prematurely.
How it typically runs
Operational onboarding → ongoing execution support → periodic reporting and reviews → continuous issue management and optimization.
Opportunity Map: Options ranked by impact, feasibility, and compliance exposure.
Decision Package: Recommended path, viable alternatives, and clearly defined “no-go” criteria.
Go-to-Mexico Plan: Phased roadmap with owners, timeline, and required inputs.
