Engagement model

Choose the level of ownership the problem requires.

The commercial structure follows the clarity of the problem, the implementation risk, and the amount of continuing ownership required.

Paid, fixed-scope assessment

Focused Cloud Assessment

Teams that need evidence, decisions, and priorities before implementation can be priced responsibly.

Choose this when

  • The current state is unclear or disputed
  • Several technical paths are still viable
  • Leadership needs a prioritized decision package

Representative deliverables

  • Current-state review
  • Prioritized findings and decisions
  • Readout and implementation options

Boundaries

  • Implementation is not included unless stated in scope
  • Access and evidence requirements are agreed before work starts
Discuss this structure

Fixed fee

Fixed-Scope Implementation

A defined engineering project with an agreed target state, acceptance criteria, and client decision-makers.

Choose this when

  • The required outcome is understood
  • Dependencies and access can be confirmed
  • The work can be accepted against written criteria

Representative deliverables

  • Target-state architecture
  • Implementation artifacts
  • Runbook and knowledge transfer

Boundaries

  • Assumptions, exclusions, and change control are written into scope
  • New requirements are assessed before they are added

Monthly retainer

Fractional Cloud Engineering

Organizations that need recurring senior engineering capacity across an agreed priority backlog.

Choose this when

  • Priorities change across the month
  • Architecture and implementation need continuing ownership
  • A full-time senior hire is not the current answer

Representative deliverables

  • Reserved engineering capacity
  • Prioritized architecture and implementation work
  • Agreed cadence and decision records

Boundaries

  • The retainer does not imply 24/7 on-call coverage
  • Response expectations and additional capacity require separate agreement

Hourly or reserved block

Advisory and Incident Support

Teams that need a focused architecture decision, troubleshooting session, or bounded senior review.

Choose this when

  • The question is specific and time-bounded
  • Your team will retain implementation ownership
  • You need senior review without a broader engagement

Representative deliverables

  • Architecture or incident review
  • Senior troubleshooting
  • Decision record and next actions

Boundaries

  • This is not an emergency-response or managed-support channel
  • Availability and response times are not guaranteed unless contracted

Before pricing

Discovery establishes what can be promised responsibly.

A focused discovery conversation identifies the decision, urgency, environment, access, dependencies, and accountable client owners. A paid assessment is recommended when those facts are not yet sufficient to price implementation.

  • Outcome and acceptance criteria
  • Scope and explicit exclusions
  • Required access and client inputs
  • Assumptions and dependencies
  • Commercial structure and change control
  • Handoff and ongoing ownership

Pricing is provided after a focused discovery conversation. Exact fees, timing, capacity, availability, and response expectations remain engagement-specific until written into scope.
