Step by step

From first note to contract.

  1. Request a briefing

    Send a few lines: the problem, the timeline and the contract route, if you have one in mind.

  2. Talk it through

    In a short call we ask about your constraints and how you will judge success, and share how we would approach the work.

  3. Agree a first step

    If we can help, we propose a fixed-scope first step with a defined result. If we are not the right fit, we say so.

  4. Put it on contract

    Through the route that fits: a purchase order, a subcontract, a research award or a consortium prototype agreement.
