Engagement

By the day.By the work.By agreement.

We work with a small number of organisations at a time. The shapes below are the most common ways an engagement begins. The longer one runs, the more it shapes itself to you.

01

A day

£1,085plus VAT

Up to eight hours of focused work, in person or remote. The unit most engagements are built from.

02

A half day

£705plus VAT

Up to four hours. Suited to workshops, audits, and a first conversation.

03

An hour

£176plus VAT

For shorter, single-question work. Booked in advance.

04

Retainer

On request

For ongoing work across a quarter or longer. Day rates reduce when an engagement is committed for length.

Notes on the work

Time
Time is booked, not banked. Unused time within any day or retainer period is billed as scheduled. There is no rollover.
Annual review
Rates are reviewed each year and adjusted in line with the UK Retail Price Index.
Out of hours
Emergency and after-hours work is charged at twice the standard rate. The premium reflects the disruption of evenings, weekends, and urgent availability.
Scope
These rates cover our time only. Engagements that include software, AI tooling, intellectual property, or team expansion are quoted as a multiplier of the rates above, or as a fixed project cost, whichever is greater.
