How engagements work
Every engagement is scoped individually and conducted under a master services agreement and mutual confidentiality terms. Work begins with a scoping conversation to understand your objectives, constraints, and deadlines, followed by a written statement of work defining scope, deliverables, and timeline. Both parties retain the right to decline an engagement where the fit is not right.
