Nothing formal. A brief description of your project and the decision you're facing is enough. We'll ask the right questions from there. Most clients come with a rough timeline and a sense of what's at stake. That's all we need to determine scope and fit.
-
Most engagements begin within one to two weeks of contract execution, contingent on receipt of required financial materials. Timeline varies by project complexity. We'll give you a clear picture during the scoping call.
