Engagement models
Three ways to buy the same expertise. Pick the one that matches how much of the risk you want to hold.
The three models
Time & Material
We provide skilled professionals on an hourly basis, tailored by seniority, expertise and location. This lets you scale a team quickly with the right people — from hands-on specialists to strategic advisors — without a long-term commitment.
- Rates set per seniority tier and location
- Ramp up or stand down at short notice
- You direct the work day to day
Task-Based
You define a specific task or deliverable. We assess scope and effort, then allocate the mix of expertise needed to complete it — giving predictable cost, efficient delivery, and clear accountability for a defined outcome.
- Scope and acceptance criteria agreed up front
- Cost known before work begins
- We own the composition of the team
End-to-End Delivery
We take full responsibility for delivery — planning, design, execution and governance — including collaboration across multiple stakeholders. This suits organisations that want a turnkey solution with measurable results rather than supplementary hands.
- Single point of accountability
- Governance, reporting and risk management included
- Multi-stakeholder coordination handled by us

No procurement process required to find out whether we are any good. Send one scoped task and judge the result.
