FAQ

Good questions.

How long does a typical engagement take?

Most engagements run 8–16 weeks, split into fixed-scope sprints. You can pause or stop between sprints.

How do you price your work?

Fixed fees per sprint, agreed in advance. On larger programmes, up to 25% of our fee is tied to the outcomes we commit to.

Do you work with smaller organisations?

Yes. Around a third of our clients are scale-ups and mid-market businesses. Our smallest engagement is a two-week diagnostic.

Who will actually do the work?

A partner leads every engagement personally and is in the room for every key meeting — not just the pitch.

Ready to move from plan to progress?

A 30-minute call with a senior partner. No pitch deck — just an honest read on where you are and what it would take to get where you want to be.
