Approach
An independent practice has exactly one durable advantage over a large firm: nothing about the engagement is designed to extend the engagement. These four commitments are how that stays true.
Every engagement opens with the same question: what does done look like, and how will we both know we got there. That answer becomes the scope — before any work starts.
Posture, remediation performance, and delivery health get a baseline at the outset. Every improvement claim arrives attached to the number it moved.
Runbooks, reporting, and documentation ship with the work, not after it. We would rather leave behind a system your team can run than a dependency they have to keep paying for.
Pricing is quoted per engagement, not billed by the hour in the dark. You know the number before the work begins, and it does not move because the work got interesting.
Engagement models
Fixed fee · 1–2 weeks
A focused review of your control environment, architecture, and delivery process. You receive a written assessment: what is fragile, what is fine, and a prioritized roadmap any competent engineer can execute — including us, if you want to keep going.
Fixed scope · 2–6 weeks
A defined outcome agreed up front — a migration, an automation layer, an audit-readiness push, a rebuilt deploy pipeline. Fixed price for fixed scope, so neither side has an incentive to pad the clock.
Monthly retainer
Ongoing governance, architecture, and operations support at a capped number of hours per month. For organizations that need a senior technical partner on call before they need another full-time hire.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about outcomes, not hours. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.
