Detail

What you get, and what you do not

This is the entry diagnostic — the fast yes. It is small enough to approve without a steering committee and concrete enough that the finding stands on its own, whether or not you do anything further with us.

2 weeks

From kickoff to report

Scope is fixed at kickoff. The fee does not move.

The report states its methodology in full, including what it could not measure. A finance reviewer should be able to reproduce the arithmetic without calling us.

Questions we are always asked

How does an engagement start?

A scoping call, then a written fixed-scope fixed-fee proposal. Most buyers start at the Token Economics Audit because it is approvable without a steering committee. Nothing requires you to enter at the bottom of the ladder — an executive briefing first is common when the funding decision is contested.

What system access do you need?

Assessment work is read-only: usage telemetry, a content sample, and time with the people who own the sources. Implementation access is scoped explicitly at the start of each quarter and is limited to the systems in that quarter's scope.

Who owns the deliverables?

You do. Reports, blueprints, runbooks and code produced in an engagement are yours outright. A blueprint you commission from us can be executed by your own engineers or by another partner — that is a deliberate property of how the ladder is priced, not a concession.
