Engagement Models

Flexible partnership approaches for every need

  • Choose the model that fits your project scope, timeline, and budget

  • Blend models for optimal flexibility and outcomes

How to choose the right model

Key factors to consider when selecting your engagement approach.

Project Clarity

Fixed price works best when scope is well-defined. Dedicated teams excel when requirements evolve.

Timeline

Short-term projects suit fixed price. Long-term programs benefit from dedicated resources.

Budget Model

Fixed price offers predictability. Time & materials provides flexibility for changing needs.

Control Level

ODCs give maximum control. Fixed price projects delegate management to us.

Scale Requirements

Large programs with many team members are ideal for dedicated teams or ODCs.

Risk Allocation

Fixed price shifts delivery risk to us. Dedicated teams share risk more evenly.
