How We Engage

We work with clear intake, delivery and handover phases. Typical steps include:

  2. Proposal and mutually agreed statement of work (SoW)
  3. Delivery with regular checkpoints and QA gates
  4. Transition to operations and knowledge transfer
  5. Optional ongoing managed services and support

Each engagement is tailored to your organisation — we can provide fixed-price projects, retainer-based support, or time-and-materials delivery depending on your preference.
