ONBOARD APPROVAL GATE · INDEPENDENT DECISION REVIEW
Before authorising yacht work, verify what you are actually approving
An independent, document-based review of quotations, proposals and variations to make scope, cost, exclusions and conditions comparable before a proposal becomes authorised spend.
AN EXTRA CONTROL LAYER, NOT ANOTHER MANAGER
Not another yacht management company
ONBOARD Approval Gate does not take over vessel management. It works alongside the existing team when the owner wants an additional independent view before authorising a specific economic decision.
WHEN IT HELPS
When a spend decision deserves review before authorisation
Designed for specific decisions, without requiring ONBOARD to manage the yacht on an ongoing basis.
Several quotations to compare
When similar or different prices cover non-equivalent scope, materials and commercial terms.
Variations, extras or final invoice
When cost changes after approval and needs to be reconciled against what was authorised.
ONBOARD DECISION FILE
Six outputs that make the decision documented and traceable
The engagement is scoped in advance according to complexity, available documentation and the level of review required.
Scope Baseline
What is actually included in the proposed work.
Quote Comparison Matrix
Proposals normalised across the same decision areas.
Open Cost Exposure
Defined, conditional, unquantified, excluded and time-and-material cost exposure.
Clarification List
Concrete questions to resolve with the shipyard or contractor before approval.
Approval Conditions
Conditions that should be defined before the work is authorised.
Decision Baseline
A documented snapshot of what is actually being approved.
Economic independence by design.
No supplier commissions and no hidden markup on quotations. ONBOARD’s fee is agreed before the review based on complexity and documentation, not as a percentage of the value of the work.
