How we work

Three engagement models. One process. Plain English throughout.

We work in three engagement models. Most clients use more than one over time.

Engagement models

Three engagement models. Most clients use more than one over time.

[01]

Fixed-scope projects

A defined deliverable, a fixed timeline, and a fixed price. Best for websites, MVPs, audits, and bounded software builds where the goal is clear. We agree the scope and the price up front, commit to a date, and you get one finished thing on time.

Best for: websites, MVPs, audits, design systems, bounded software builds.

[02]

Dedicated teams

A senior, embedded team that becomes an extension of yours for the duration of a programme. Engineers, designers, marketers — whatever mix the work needs. Dedicated standups, a shared backlog, monthly priorities reviewed together.

Best for: ongoing product development, in-house marketing functions, scaled engineering programmes.

[03]

Advisory retainers

Senior advisory access on a monthly retainer. A few hours of senior time each week or month, available when you need it. Quarterly reviews, ad-hoc decisions on architecture or growth, second-pair-of-eyes on contracts and proposals.

Best for: founders and small leadership teams who need a sounding board more than a delivery team.

Whatever the engagement model, every
piece of work runs through the same loop
04

A short, written, agreed loop — not a deck nobody opens twice.

[01]

Discovery
& scoping

What’s the real question, who is it for, what does success look like? We push hard on what we’re solving before we discuss how to solve it.

[02]

Plan
& proposal

Written, costed, and agreed. The proposal is the contract: scope, milestones, price, who’s responsible for what. No surprises later.

[03]

Build,
test, ship

Short feedback cycles. Transparent progress. Working software (or content, or campaigns) in front of you weekly — not at the end.

[04]

Measure
& improve

What worked, what didn’t, what’s next. Every engagement closes with a written retrospective and a recommendation for what we’d change next time.
