How We Help

  • Custom Research

    We accept commissions to design, manage, and implement studies that matter to our clients.

    We define requirements, develop approaches, collect and preserve evidence, generate grounded insights, and ensure decisions and arguments hold up under pressure.

    We exercise robust quality assurance and quality control, and deliver tangible products and documents of record to satisfy audits, KPIs, and compliance requirements.

  • Technical Assistance

    We review and optimise client capabilities through dual-track technical assistance.

    We supplement our clients’ in-house expertise and conduct independent quality control and review, as external advisors, mentors and fractional CxOs.

    We undertake technical reviews of client operations and performance, identify gaps or weaknesses, and suggest improvements.

  • Capacity Building

    We develop our clients’ competencies and ability to deliver at pace and at scale.

    Every client will have unique needs. Our process typically involves a review of current training, skill and quality levels to pinpoint areas in need of improvement.

    We then engage with custom curriculum design and skill-building workshops, exercises, and other techniques to build and sharpen in-house competencies.

  • Corporate Paperwork

    Service Delivery

    We operate through retainer agreements - recurring service bundles scaled for light to heavy usage, for as long as they’re needed.

    For non-recurring, complex requirements of defined scope and duration, we organise on a project-basis and work to predictable, fixed fee budgets.

    We offer productised services for clients who require specific documented outputs but not retained services or more complex project engagements.

  • Fees & Pricing

    Our services are priced transparently and competitively, and we organize the work we do for you for maximum cost-effectiveness and predictability.

    We apply a combination of day rates and fixed fees, and work to predictable budgets. For ad hoc work, occasional advisory, or unpredictable tasks of shorter duration we apply hourly charges.

    Additional premiums apply for assignments of elevated urgency, sensitivity, difficulty or complexity.
