Most consulting buyers want clarity on cost, scope, and outcome, not a time-and-materials contract that drifts. Our engagements are scoped as fixed-price packages with explicit deliverables, baselines, and exit criteria.
Most clients combine two of these into a 4–6 month engagement.
Most clients do not buy all three. They buy the two that match where they are.
Pre-investment due diligence (Diagnostic + SIC). The board has approved digital investment in principle but the value case is unclear. Diagnostic delivers the value case; SIC sets the cadence to track it.
Targeted operational uplift (Diagnostic + Optimisation). The constraint is known but the path to capture is not. Diagnostic confirms baseline and value; Optimisation builds the closed loop for one specific bottleneck.
Bring us a problem. We'll scope a fit.
Most engagements start with a 30-minute scoping call to confirm fit, then a one-page proposal with fixed scope and price.
