Pricing & Engagement
Business success requires commercial acumen and the right tools. We offer decades of both, at your convenience.
How We Work With You
Flexible engagement to match your needs—from one-off projects to ongoing advisory.
Whether you need a focused piece of research, a technical build, or regular strategic support, we structure engagements around your goals rather than billable hours. You work directly with senior expertise—no account managers, no graduate analysts learning on your project.
Engagement options:
- Project-based: Fixed scope, fixed price—you know exactly what you're getting
- Regular hours: Book ongoing time for advisory, technical work, or mixed support
- Programme work: Larger initiatives with defined milestones and deliverables

Ongoing Advisory
Some clients prefer regular access to strategic and technical support rather than project-by-project engagement.
For businesses that want ongoing advisory relationships, we offer regular hours arrangements. This works well when you need:
- A trusted advisor to call on for strategic decisions
- Regular technical maintenance and improvements
- Ongoing research and market monitoring
- A blend of advisory and technical support
Typical arrangements
Regular advisory arrangements typically range from half a day to two days per week, depending on your needs. Hours can be used flexibly across advisory, technical, or research work. We'll discuss what makes sense for your situation.
