Making the work run the way you say it does

Pick the work you actually want. Every service below is optional, every quantity is yours to set, and the investment updates as you go. Nothing here is locked in until you sign it.

How the engagement runs

Three stages. You can buy one, two or all three — the pricing below follows whatever you pick.

First

Understand how it works today

Discovery that produces a ranked, costed picture of where time and money leak, not a list of observations.

Then

Design it and build it

We redesign the process, put the tooling and documentation behind it, and take your people through the change.

Ongoing

Keep it running

Retained capacity so the work keeps moving after the project team leaves.

Choose your scope

Tick a service to include it, then set the quantity. Rates are per unit and exclude tax.

Commercial terms

Adjust these and every figure in the proposal recalculates.

Expedited delivery

Project work starts within ten working days and runs with a doubled delivery team. Adds 12% to project fees.

On-site delivery

Consultants work from your offices for the workshop-heavy phases. Adds a fixed 850 per week of project work for travel and accommodation.

Payment schedule

Terms

Validity

Pricing holds for 30 days from the issue date shown at the top of this document.

Rates and effort

Day rates assume an eight-hour day. Quantities set here are estimates; we bill actual effort against them and flag any variance above 10% before it happens.

Tax

All figures exclude tax unless labelled otherwise. The rate applied is the one selected in commercial terms and is confirmed at contracting.

Retainers

Retained services run for the selected term with 60 days' notice to cancel after month three. Unused retainer days roll forward one month.

Expenses

Remote delivery carries no expenses. On-site delivery is charged as shown rather than as pass-through receipts.

Your people

We need a named sponsor and roughly four hours a week of their time. That is the single biggest predictor of whether this lands.

Confidentiality

Everything we see stays under mutual NDA. Findings and deliverables are yours; anonymised patterns may inform our practice.

Who does the work

Every consultant on this engagement is our own. No part of it is subcontracted without your written consent, and we name the team before you sign.

Accept this proposal

Signing here confirms the scope and the figures you have configured. We will send a countersigned copy and a kick-off invitation within one working day.
