# SHERPA FF&E

> SHERPA is an integrated FF&E (furniture, fixtures & equipment) execution system that takes responsibility for outcomes, not just procurement. It governs cost, schedule, quality, and design intent from early definition through installation. A product of Hinson Consulting Group, LLC.

SHERPA is built for complex, high-consequence FF&E scopes: luxury hospitality, private golf and resort clubs, premium commercial interiors, and multi-area developments where a fixed opening date, member experience, or design intent cannot be compromised.

## What SHERPA does
- Governs FF&E decisions before they create cost or schedule exposure.
- Translates design intent into executable, validated specifications.
- Gives owners a live status view: current gate, health, risks, blockers, pending approvals, and the next action with a named owner.
- Runs execution along one accountable path through four sequential gates.

## The four gates
- G1 Basecamp — definition and alignment of scope, intent, and constraints.
- G2 Commercial control — specification, sourcing, and commercial decisions governed against reality.
- G3 Production & logistics — production, sequencing, and logistics controlled toward the install window.
- G4 Summit — installation, validation, and closeout under one accountable path.

## Key distinction
A coordinator moves information between vendors. SHERPA takes responsibility for outcomes: governed decisions, translated intent, and single-owner accountability for the next action.
