leaves witha thing, named a working paper
the work, named.
we have done the same engagement enough times that the scope is now a package. fixed price. fixed term. fixed deliverable. you read the working paper, you sign the sow, we ship.
what is in scope.
a single, named deliverable. the audit-ready ledger. the popia kit. the data-room rebuild.
a fixed timeline. start friday; end six weeks later.
a single point of contact on our side. one operator, full-time.
a working paper at hand-over. signed, footnoted, yours.
one round of revision baked in. extra rounds are time-and-materials.
what is not in scope.
open-ended scope creep. we will quote a second package if the scope grows.
a co-design phase. the scope is the scope. we have shipped it before.
integration with arbitrary downstream systems. we publish to a clean interface.
ongoing support. quarterly office hours available; not bundled.
§ posturea productised offer is honest about being repeatable. we have shipped it before. that is the value, not a constraint.
the six packages.
each package is a working paper of its own — what is in, what is out, what you sign, what we hand over. enquire for the package brief.

this is for you if…
signals.
you know exactly what you need and you want it priced.
you have a deadline — a board meeting, a data-room request, a regulator submission.
you have done the diagnostic; you want a fixed scope.
you want a thing, not a relationship.
not for you if…
you do not yet know the scope. start with a diagnostic; we will quote it.
you want a long relationship. start with the fractional surface instead.
you want bespoke. these are packages because we have shipped them before.
you want to negotiate the package shape. we will quote a custom sow instead.
the price list.
fixed prices in zar plus vat. fifty percent at start, fifty percent on hand-over. one round of revision baked in.
