How We Start with You

Initial Consult and Discovery

Project Scoping
After initial discovery, we discuss the results of our consultation engagements and identity the best course of action to hit KPIs and deliver the highest ROI. Our scope of work will outline key objectives, our processes and methodology, and the desired goal/outcome of the project.
Estimation and Proposal
Once all parties agree on the scope of work, we submit a detailed proposal with an executive summary, an overview of processes and methods, estimated costs, and a general timeline.
