Before commissioning an assessment.
Is a meeting required?
We can work through written clarifications. If meetings or a site visit are necessary, we propose the appropriate engagement before you pay.
Is the summary final?
It adds fixed assessments excluding VAT. Custom work, monthly advice and overlaps are reviewed before the final proposal.
When does delivery start?
We agree timing in writing before payment; it starts on acceptance of complete material. Missing information leads to clarification requests.
Does it include implementation?
You receive a written assessment and recommendations at decision and architecture level. Development and changes to your systems are agreed as a separate project.
Can I start with a complex question?
Choose Custom assessment. We confirm whether written delivery is suitable and agree a price and deliverable.
