Scope and fees

Know what you are buying.

Fees are quoted against a written scope before work begins. The quote identifies the venues involved, on-site and remote input, deliverables, target dates, review points, and any travel or third-party costs. VAT treatment is stated in the quote.

A focused review and an extended turnaround are different commitments. Send your venue count, operating model, main problem and deadline so the first conversation can establish the right level of involvement. Additional work is agreed before it starts.

Practical operator support

Specialist work inside those three routes.
