A scoping call. A written proposal. One accountable partner.
Every managed engagement begins with a scoping conversation, followed by a written proposal with deliverables, response SLAs and a fixed monthly fee. No retainer creep. No surprise invoices. Cancellable on standard notice.
Retainers are structured on fixed monthly fees. Indicative ranges and a written proposal are provided at the scoping stage, before any engagement letter is issued.
Most retainers are operational within five business days of the engagement letter.
