Engagement options

Flexible ways to work together.

Every project calls for a different level of involvement. We tailor the proposed scope and fee structure to the work, schedule, and responsibilities involved.

Common arrangements

A clear scope before work begins.

Monthly retainer

Often suited to ongoing coordination or advisory support with a defined scope and expected level of availability.

Monthly services and billing terms are set out in the proposal.

Fixed project fee

May be appropriate for a well-defined project or phase with identifiable tasks and deliverables.

Schedule changes, added services, and scope adjustments are addressed in the agreement.

Hourly services

Designed to support targeted reviews, limited-duration support, or assignments where the total effort is not yet known.

Rates, budgets, and any agreed caps are specified in writing.

This page describes possible fee structures, not a standing offer or a promise of specific rates, caps, deliverables, or availability. Final terms are established in a written engagement agreement.
