How it runs
How an engagement runs
Whichever practice you start with, the opening is the same, and the first phase is priced so you can stop after it with something useful.
01Weeks 1-2
Assessment, fixed price, genuinely stoppable
We measure a baseline from your data rather than estimating one, and we sit with the people who do the work, because the documented process and the practised process differ, and the difference is the finding.
02Week 2
The constraints, before the design
What may not move, where a person has to decide, what the calendar is, and, for a public-sector buyer, which authorisation boundary this lives in. These decide the timeline more than the engineering does.
03Weeks 3-4
One thing, built against real data
Small enough to finish, real enough to judge, with the human decision point in place from the start rather than added after a review.
04Then
Widen, adjust, or stop
Measured against the week-one baseline. Stopping is a real outcome and we would rather reach it in month one than month six.
Every plan states what you have to provide as well as what we do. A timeline with no client obligations in it is a timeline that slips, and naming them at the start is the cheapest thing on this page.
