Engineering leadership, on call.

Forty-five minutes, on me. No deck, no intake form, no sales theatre. You describe the problem, I ask the uncomfortable questions, and you leave with at least one useful thing — even if we never work together. If the engagement does not make sense, I will say so and point you at someone who fits better.

Pricing depends on shape and cadence, and I quote per engagement once we have had the first call. Retainers, fixed-scope, and advisory engagements are all priced in writing up front — no hidden burn, no surprise invoices. If budget is the question, open with it on the first call and we will work backwards from there.

You do, from the moment it is delivered. Work is assigned on acceptance under a straightforward mutual agreement. No escrow, no licensing back, no clauses that survive the engagement.

An initial call inside a week, usually inside a few days. A paid diagnostic can begin within two weeks of signing. Retainers take three to six weeks to stand up well: the early weeks are spent learning your system, not billing against it.

Yes. ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, GDPR, WCAG 2.2 AA — the standard vendor paperwork is on file. Security questionnaires are returned inside a week, references available under NDA.

Thirty-day notice on retainers, no cancellation fee. I would rather part cleanly than drag an engagement past its useful life — and a client who leaves well often comes back.
