About Us
The Clarity Engine by spgFix — Home of Clarity Engineering™

For decades, organizations across construction, infrastructure, enterprise technology, and public sectors have relied on talent, experience, and hard work to deliver complex programs. But even the most capable teams struggle with the same universal problem:

Too much risk stays invisible until it’s too late.

Schedules slip. Budgets drain. Contingency evaporates.
Leadership is briefed after the damage is done.

So in 2018, we built something new — not another project management tool, not another dashboard, not another reporting platform — but an entirely new discipline:

Clarity Engineering™

A structured way to make hidden risks, dependencies, constraints, and outcomes visible early enough to act — without moving the promised completion date.

Our Mission

To remove complexity, uncertainty, and preventable failure from projects, portfolios, and capital programs — and replace them with clarity, accountability, and predictable outcomes.

We exist to help organizations:

Deliver the outcomes they promised

Protect budget, reputation, and public trust

Absorb risk before it becomes disruption

Align teams, decisions, timelines, and expectations

Make leadership confident, not reactive

Because every major initiative deserves a clear path to success.

What We Do

We help organizations turn desired outcomes into coordinated action using:

The Clarity Engine™ — AI-powered risk, outcomes, and execution platform

Clarity Engineering™ methodology — the discipline that makes clarity operational

Implementation support, playbooks, and guided onboarding

We don’t replace your tools, teams, or processes.
We make them more effective by revealing what they can’t see.

Who We Serve

The Clarity Engine is used by organizations managing high-stakes delivery, including:

Prime contractors — vertical construction, highways, roads, and heavy civil

Public agencies — DOTs, cities, counties, water, transportation, and capital programs

Enterprise and Fortune-grade technology organizations

Telecom, aviation, utilities, energy, and healthcare

PMOs, EPMOs, owners, executives, and program leaders

If outcomes matter — clarity matters.

Why We Exist

After 35+ years leading, rescuing, advising, and executing $100M–$500M+ initiatives, we saw the same pattern repeated across industries:

Too many unknowns discovered too late

Project reporting that hides the real danger

Heroics replacing system discipline

Risk spread across teams with no owner

Completion dates moving quietly, then suddenly

Exhausted people held responsible for invisible problems

These failures are not caused by incompetence — they’re caused by lack of structured clarity.

So we built the platform and methodology that solves it.

What Makes Us Different

We didn’t enter an existing category — we created one.

✅ Not project management

We don’t track tasks — we expose what can break them.

✅ Not scheduling software

We don’t build timelines — we protect them.

✅ Not analytics

We don’t report activity — we reveal outcomes.

✅ Not consulting theater

We deliver operational clarity, not PowerPoints.

✅ Not a “tool”

It’s a discipline you can repeat across every project.

This is clarity you can act on — not admire.

Leadership

Lowell Sandoval — Founder, Chief Clarity Officer, Architect & Inventor
spgFix LLC | Clarity Engine

Lowell has spent more than 35 years inside complex, high-stakes environments — including construction, telecom, aviation, enterprise technology, and Fortune organizations — defining outcomes, de-risking programs, building clarity systems, and turning strategic ambition into aligned execution.

He has directly influenced industries and markets by advancing server-clustering innovations at Intel; pushing Oracle database technologies downstream to departmental Intel servers; decoding Microsoft’s competitive operating-system positioning matrix; launching Comcast’s first televised exhibition match supporting a nonprofit soccer association with the Seattle Sounders; creating a satellite Wi-Fi testing blueprint that enabled Alaska Airlines’ first satellite Wi-Fi flight; leading T-Mobile’s provider API strategy implementation for national partners; serving on IBM’s national consulting team for managing partners on the West Coast; leading airline M&A initiatives; publishing as an author; launching new businesses; and inventing — and solely coding — the full-stack, production-ready Clarity Engine platform.

He built the Clarity Engine because organizations deserve the ability to predict success — not hope for it.

Our Principles
1. Clarity before action

You can’t manage what you can’t see.

2. Outcomes over activity

Motion is not progress.

3. Prevention beats recovery

It’s cheaper — financially, politically, emotionally.

4. Transparency builds trust

With teams, executives, agencies, partners, and the public.

5. Delivery dates are promises

And promises deserve protection.

Our Track Record

Across industries, organizations using the Clarity Engine report:

25% average reduction in preventable delays

95% deadline adherence

Stronger cross-team collaboration

Clearer executive decision-making

Fewer escalations, claims, and surprises

Greater trust across stakeholders

Because clarity scales.

Our Commitment

We remove friction, not add it.

The Clarity Engine:

Works in read-only mode

Uses your existing tools and data

Requires minimal onboarding

Starts small, proves value, scales intentionally

Maintains full organizational control

No disruption — just clarity.

Why Now

Every industry is under pressure to:

Deliver more with fewer resources

Justify budgets and priorities

Prove value, not activity

Reduce waste, delay, and risk

Build trust through transparency

Prevent crisis instead of reacting to it

Clarity is now a competitive advantage — and soon, it will be an expectation.
