Scope, written down
We price against an agreed specification. If scope changes, we re-quote rather than absorb it quietly.
Engagements
Five ways in, depending on where you are
Most clients start with the health check and decide from there. Nothing commits you to the next stage.
Compare
What each engagement covers
| Engagement | Duration | Commercials | Right for you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data health check | 4 weeks | Fixed price | You know something is wrong but not where to start |
| Proof of value | 6–12 weeks | Fixed price | One use case needs to prove its return before budget is released |
| Build & migrate | 3–9 months | Phased, capped | You are replacing a platform or consolidating several |
| Managed data team | Rolling | Monthly retainer | You need delivery capacity without hiring for it yet |
| Fractional head of data | Rolling | Monthly retainer | You need direction and hiring help more than extra hands |
How we quote
Three things that decide the number
Team shape
Most engagements run with one lead and two to four engineers. Rates are published in the proposal, not hidden in a blended figure.
Risk we carry
Fixed-price work carries our risk, so it is priced slightly above time and materials. You choose which trade you prefer.
Questions
Commercial questions
Still unsure? Call (216) 123 45678 and ask for whoever is on the desk.
Ask a questionBecause a four-week health check for a 200-person company and a 5,000-person group are different pieces of work. We publish the model and the rates in the proposal, usually within three business days.
No. Scoping calls and proposal work are free. We only invoice once an engagement is signed.
Yes. Retainers and time-and-materials work can carry a not-to-exceed cap, agreed monthly.

Send one paragraph about the report that always starts an argument. A data lead, not a salesperson, replies within one business day.
