A Fixed Scope, Delivered on Schedule
Agree a scope, a milestone schedule and a price up front, and pay as each milestone is delivered, instead of paying for staff time regardless of progress.
50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.
Open-ended staffing makes cost and delivery date both uncertain
When a project is billed purely on staff time, cost overruns and schedule slips carry no built-in check. A fixed scope and milestone schedule set that boundary up front.
A number you can plan around, not an open bill
Scope is defined and priced before work starts, so budget approval happens once, against a number that will not move unless you approve a change.
- Fixed price agreed before kickoff.
- Change requests priced before work proceeds.
- No surprise overruns from open-ended billing.
You pay as delivery actually happens
Payments are tied to milestone completion, so cost tracks visible progress instead of running independently of what has actually shipped.
- Deposit followed by milestone-based payments.
- Each milestone reviewed before payment is due.
- Final sign-off gates the last payment.
Payment tied to delivery, not to time
Illustrative example. Your actual milestones depend on project scope.

How Project-Based Engagement Works
From requirements to a signed scope to a delivered milestone. Here is how we price and run every project-based engagement.
Scoping, delivery and review, in that order
A scope and price you approve before work starts
We turn your requirements into a defined scope, milestone schedule and fixed price, so you know exactly what you are approving before any work begins.
- Requirements turned into a defined scope.
- Milestones and price agreed up front.
- Change requests priced before proceeding.
Work delivered against the schedule you signed off
The team delivers against the agreed milestone schedule, with progress visible at each stage rather than only at the very end.
- Delivery tracked against agreed milestones.
- Progress visible at each stage.
- Same team from kickoff through go-live.
A revision window before any payment is due
Each milestone includes a review and revision window, so issues are caught and addressed before that milestone's payment becomes due.
- Review window on every milestone.
- Revisions handled before sign-off.
- Payment tied to approved delivery.
