Engagement models
No fixed packages. A fixed entry point.
Every engagement starts the same way regardless of size or sector: a diagnostic conversation, followed by instrumentation, before any capability or contract length is agreed.
How scope gets decided
Capability, not package
We do not sell a starter tier, a growth tier and an enterprise tier. Scope is set by which of the six capabilities the constraint analysis phase determines you actually need.
The commercial structure follows the operating model rather than sitting alongside it. The first commitment any client makes is to the instrumentation phase alone — typically three weeks, scoped and quoted independently of anything that follows, so you can walk away after it with a documented reconciliation of your numbers and owe us nothing further. Most clients continue into constraint analysis once instrumentation is complete, because by then there is usually a clear, evidenced case for what to do next — but the decision is made with real data in hand, not on the strength of a pitch.
From constraint analysis onward, scope is set by the constraint itself. If the binding constraint is creative volume, the engagement is scoped around creative systems and paid acquisition; if it is a measurement dispute, it may never expand beyond the measurement and attribution capability at all, as with our industrial supply engagement, still running on that single capability since 2021. Retainers are priced against the capabilities actually engaged, reviewed quarterly, and adjusted — up or down — as the constraint changes or gets resolved.
Exit criteria
Defined before the engagement starts, not after
Instrumentation exit
A reconciled baseline
You can take the reconciled measurement setup and leave — no obligation to continue into constraint analysis.
Constraint exit
A relieved constraint
Once the binding constraint is resolved, the engagement moves to handover by default, not to a new constraint we invent.
Handover exit
A documented system
Full exit or a reduced, part-time relationship — both are a successful close, decided by the client, not by us.
