Why Productized

Fixed scope is the product.

Most consulting engagements fail because scope creeps in two directions at once: the client wants more for the same fee, and the consultant adds work the client didn't ask for to justify the engagement. Productized scopes eliminate both. You know exactly what you're getting; we know exactly what we're delivering; the price and timeline don't move.

If a custom engagement is genuinely required (multi-language AI audit at enterprise scale, M&A due-diligence on a target's GEO posture, post-Series-B "build the GEO function from zero"), we'll quote it — but only above $25K total contract value. Anything smaller fits into the tiers above.
