Engagement & Pricing Questions
What’s the difference between Foundations and Advisory Retainer?
Foundations is a defined short-term engagement focused on readiness and roadmap clarity. Advisory Retainer provides ongoing strategic oversight during implementation and scaling phases.
Can we transition between engagement models?
Yes. Engagement models are structured to scale. Organizations frequently begin with Foundations and expand into Retainer or Enterprise support as initiatives mature.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing reflects scope complexity, organizational size, reporting cadence, stakeholder involvement, and regulatory considerations identified during the consult phase.
Are engagements fixed-scope or flexible?
Foundations engagements are structured and time-bound. Retainer and Enterprise models allow flexibility within agreed governance frameworks.
Do you require long-term contracts?
Engagement duration aligns with scope requirements. Retainer models operate on defined cadence agreements rather than rigid long-term contracts.
How quickly can an engagement begin?
Following alignment on scope and objectives, engagements typically begin within one to three weeks depending on scheduling and preparation requirements.
