Pricing FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Why do you publish prices when most consultancies do not?

Because the buyers we work with deserve to know what range a conversation will land in. Publishing prices saves your time and ours. We confirm exact pricing after the 20-minute discovery call.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. We sell engagement shapes with defined inputs, outputs, and durations. Hourly billing optimises for the consultant, not for the outcome. Our pricing optimises for the outcome.

Are there any lock-in contracts?

No. Sprints are fixed scope, fixed price. Retainers are rolling quarterly with 30-day notice. We do not sign annual lock-ins; if we are not earning our place every month, we should not be in your business.

What is the 20-minute discovery call?

A focused video call where we hear your current state, surface the two or three highest-leverage levers, and agree whether to scope a paid engagement. No pitch deck, no follow-up sequence, no pressure.

Do you ever do free pilots?

No. Free work is paid in misaligned expectations on both sides. We offer paid Decision Sprints (£6k) for low-stakes first engagements where you want to test the fit before committing to a Build Sprint.

The exact number

arrives after a 20-minute call.

No sales rep, no pitch deck, no follow-up sequence. You leave the call with a shape and a price — or a recommendation of who else to talk to.
