Forty-five minutes with an architect and a delivery lead — not a salesperson reading a deck. You will leave with a rough scope, an honest budget band and a straight answer on whether we are the right firm for the work.
Local contracting and compliance context in each market, with the engineering hub running around the clock so work continues while your office sleeps.
You will not be passed between three people or added to a nurture sequence. This is the whole process.
Within one business day, from a person who has read what you wrote. If we are not the right firm for it, we will say so in that reply rather than booking a call to tell you.
Mutual NDA signed before we discuss anything specific. Forty-five minutes with an architect and a delivery lead — the same people who would run the work.
Rough scope, budget band, indicative timeline and the risks we can already see. Yours to take to your board, or to another firm for comparison.
A fixed-fee discovery producing the scope, data model and firm budget band. Those deliverables are yours whether or not you continue with us.
It is the best time. Once a specification exists, the expensive decisions have usually already been made — often wrongly. Bring the problem and let the scope come out of the conversation.
Either. Send yours and our counsel will review it, usually within two days. If you would rather not draft one, we have a mutual NDA ready to sign. Nothing specific gets discussed until one is in place.
No formal floor, but below roughly $20,000 a dedicated pod rarely makes sense and you would be better served by a smaller firm or a freelancer. We will tell you that honestly rather than taking work we cannot do well at that size.
Yes, once we have had the first call and know which of our engagements resembles yours. Reference calls are arranged with clients who have agreed to take them — we ask them each time rather than keeping a standing list.
