Questions buyers ask
What do you need from our side?
A sponsor who can make decisions, one person who knows the process well, and access to the data or systems in scope. We agree how much of their time it takes before we start.
Do we need to have chosen a platform?
No. We work with the platforms you already run and recommend a new one only when the evidence supports it.
What happens at the end?
You keep everything we produce. If there is a sensible next step we propose it with its own scope and price, and there is no obligation to continue.
How is it priced?
As a fixed fee, agreed in writing after a short scoping call and before any work starts.
