Fixed price, scoped up front, no day rate drift
We price on outcome, not on how long someone sits in your Teams calls. Every audit and assessment is a fixed price with a defined deliverable, agreed before any work starts. If the scope changes, we tell you what it costs and you decide, so the number you sign off is the number you pay.
What drives the price
- Size of the estate: instances, sources, data volume
- Complexity: legacy versions, bespoke code, integrations
- Number of stakeholders and sites to involve
- Depth of deliverable: findings only, or a costed roadmap
What does not drive it
- Your company turnover or funding round
- How urgent the problem feels to you
- Time we spend on internal admin
- Padding for risk we have not actually explained
How we keep it honest
- Fixed price quoted before work begins
- Written scope with exclusions listed
- Change control in writing, priced and approved
- Audit fees creditable against follow-on delivery
