  2. Analyze the information: Adrienne provides you with a comprehensive plan that compares what you have with what you want and identifies any gaps.
  3. Make recommendations: Adrienne prepares a detailed plan that includes a review of what you have already done, and some recommendations about what you may need to do next.
