Five commercial structures, each matched to a stage of the customer lifecycle or to the organisation behind it. All five follow the same engagement principles.
Map of the five engagement models across the customer lifecycle. Presales support covers evaluation. Projects cover the rollout. Delivery capacity runs monthly across rollout and adoption. Customer success packages run from adoption through renewal. Interim leadership works at organisation level across the whole lifecycle.

Organisation & leadership
01
Presales support
Best suited whenA specific opportunity needs solution expertise through to the buying decision.
Engaged per opportunity, from the first technical workshop to the signed contract. Part of the fee is tied to the outcome, and the solution design carries straight into delivery.
Commercial basis
Fixed rate & success component on won deals
Commitment
Per opportunity
02
Projects
Best suited whenThe work has a defined goal, scope and end point.
Rollouts, migrations and enablement programmes run against a plan and estimate agreed after discovery. Progress and effort are reported throughout; changes follow an agreed change process.
Commercial basis
Effort against an agreed estimate
Commitment
Per project, defined in the statement of work
03
Delivery capacity
Best suited whenDemand is continuous and priorities shift from month to month.
A reserved monthly budget of delivery days across a shared backlog. Priorities are agreed each month; we plan, staff and deliver, and reconcile actual effort against the budget.
Commercial basis
Fixed monthly budget, reconciled monthly
Commitment
Monthly, for an agreed minimum term
04
Customer success packages
Best suited whenLive accounts need continuous care on a predictable monthly basis.
A defined package per customer account covering adoption reporting, business reviews, user enablement, change requests and releases. Tiers reflect account size and complexity.
Commercial basis
Fixed fee per account and month, in tiers
Commitment
Aligned with the account’s subscription term
05
Interim leadership
Best suited whenA leadership role is vacant, or the function is still being built.
An experienced executive leads the customer solutions organisation (presales, delivery or customer success) on a full-time or part-time mandate, with the handover to a permanent lead planned from the start.
Commercial basis
Fixed monthly fee
Commitment
Full-time or part-time mandate, for an agreed term
Engagement principles
Built into every model
Whichever model applies, every engagement runs on the same commercial framework: scoped before it is signed, reported while it runs, changed only by agreement.
Discovery first
Every engagement starts with a discovery workshop. Scope, plan, estimate and assumptions are agreed in the statement of work before the work starts.
Clear contractual framework
A framework agreement sets the terms once; each engagement has its own statement of work. We contract with the software vendor or directly with the end customer.
Transparent reporting
Effort is reported against the plan while the work runs, not after it ends.
Controlled change
When scope or the forecast moves, the change is documented and agreed before the work continues.
