FAQ
A few quick answers to common questions before you reach out.
Do you work with small-town businesses and public-sector teams?
Yes. Many engagements are built for practical constraints—limited budget, small teams, and real-world operations. The goal is simple: make the work easier, faster, and more reliable.
What’s included in “fixed-price”?
Fixed-price covers the exact scope defined for the engagement. If the scope changes (new processes, additional departments, expanded deliverables), we’ll align in writing before additional work begins.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes. If confidentiality is required, we can sign an NDA as part of an engagement.
Do you guarantee results?
No. We provide professional recommendations and implementation support, but outcomes depend on inputs, constraints, and execution decisions. We do, however, focus on measurable improvements whenever possible.
Ready to make operations easier?
Tell me what’s going on and I’ll recommend the simplest engagement that solves it—diagnostic, project, or retainer.
Note: For paid engagements, a written SOW/proposal defines scope, pricing, and timeline.
