Services

Four services, in the order they are usually needed.

Most engagements start with a readiness review, and many need nothing else. Each service is scoped, priced and delivered against a named outcome rather than against time.

3–5 days

Terms

How engagements are scoped and run.

How engagements run

  • Scope, deliverable, review points and fee agreed in writing before work starts.
  • Fixed fees rather than day rates wherever scope allows.
  • Specialist partners named, with their role stated, rather than presented as in-house capacity.
  • Where a project is not fundable in its current form, that is the finding, and it is delivered early.

What is not offered

  • No representation before a fund, and no role in its decision-making.
  • No fee contingent on a funding decision.
  • No accreditation, assurance or verification services.
  • No implementation or project management once funding is secured.

A polished document that fails slowly costs more than an early no. Saying a project is not ready is part of the service, not a failure of it.
