Before we begin
Commercial questions.
How is the fee decided?+
We establish the decision, its importance to the institution, the evidence required and the work we will take responsibility for. The proposal sets a fee for that scope, informed by complexity, specialist expertise and senior involvement.
Can we begin with a smaller scope?+
Yes. A strategic diagnosis can be a standalone paid appointment. It produces a decision and a recommended direction before a larger programme is considered. Each appointment must meet its own agreed scope and investment.
Are US and Indian clients quoted differently?+
Published starting fees use the same USD basis. INR conversions help with planning. The final proposal confirms scope, taxes, billing currency and the applicable conversion basis.
Does a retainer include unlimited work?+
No. It reserves a defined team contribution and an agreed programme of responsibilities. Priorities and capacity are reviewed together; additional programmes are scoped before commitment.
What happens when the scope changes?+
We agree revised scope, responsibilities, fees and timing with you before additional work begins. A new requirement becomes an explicit commercial decision.
