How Engagements Are Structured
Initial Discussion
An initial conversation to understand the client's situation, objectives, and any relevant background. This is without obligation and shapes the scope proposal.
Scope and Fee Agreement
A written scope of work and fixed fee are proposed. Work does not begin until the client has reviewed and agreed to both. No ambiguity about what is included.
Execution and Delivery
Work proceeds with regular updates and a clear timeline. Deliverables are provided in a structured format, with a closing review to ensure the client understands the output.

The team provides a written report with prioritized recommendations and is available for follow-up consultations as the organization works through implementation.
