Most IT firms hide their numbers. We'd rather you know whether we fit your budget before either of us spends an hour finding out. Final quotes depend on user count, compliance scope, and coverage — but these are real starting points, not bait.

Managed and co-managed agreements are annual with a 90-day opt-out in the first term. Assessments and projects are fixed-scope with no ongoing commitment — many clients start there.
That band is calibrated to mid-market companies buying 10–20 hours a week. Small firms don't need that many hours — they need the right hours. Our retainers are scoped to what a 5–50 person firm actually uses, so director-level leadership becomes affordable without diluting it.
No. We advise on purchases at our hourly or retainer rate and you buy at your price — our recommendation isn't influenced by a reseller margin. If you want us to handle procurement logistics, that's billed as time, transparently.
