ENGAGEMENTS & PRICING

Scope first.
A clear commitment.

Choose the kind of support your next decision needs. Each engagement connects a defined question to useful outputs, clear responsibilities, and an agreed fee.

Start with your situation

Assessments

Resolve an important question before committing to the next investment or change.

Focused assessment

A bounded investigation with findings, explicit uncertainties, and a recommendation. The decision record remains useful when your team carries out the next step itself.

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH

A decision your team can explain, with the evidence, alternatives, and next action attached.

Scope, deliverables & fee

Implementation projects

Build a defined change and leave your team able to operate and maintain it.

Design and implementation alongside your team. Agree on acceptance, review progress through working changes, and transfer the understanding needed to maintain the result.

ENGAGEMENT FEE

Working software, evidence of the supported behavior, and a usable engineering handoff.

Principal advisory

Independent input to recurring product, architecture, evaluation, or ownership decisions. Agree on the decisions and review cadence that make ongoing involvement useful.

ENGAGEMENT FEE

Scope, deliverables & fee

BEFORE THE WORK STARTS

A shared understanding.
An explicit agreement.

What determines the fee

The question, scope, relevant system paths, available evidence, access requirements, and depth of implementation or review. Fees are quoted in USD. Project totals and monthly advisory fees are agreed for the scope and capacity required.

What we agree before starting

The deliverables, acceptance criteria, responsibilities, fee and currency, schedule, payment terms, and treatment of any third-party costs. These are agreed for your engagement.

When the work changes

New findings may change the useful next step. We review the effect on scope, fee, and timing together before committing to additional work.
