How we can work together
Three ways to engage
Every engagement starts with a short discovery call and a written scope, so we both know what's being delivered, by when and for how much.
Monthly retainer
Best for ongoing operations support
Set days or hours each month, reviewed quarterly.
Project
Best for a defined piece of work with a clear outcome
Fixed scope, timeline and deliverables.
Day rate
Best for short-term or ad hoc support
Booked by the day or half day.
