Outcome-Bound Pods — Fixed-fee · Outcome SLA · Agent + Human · 30-day cadence

Staff augmentation is a tax on velocity. We ship pods — pre-priced, outcome-bound squads of strategists, engineers and AI agents — that go live in 14 days and refund the difference if the contracted KPI isn't hit. Services, but as a product.

FAQs

What buyers actually ask

Is this just T&M with a marketing skin?

No — fee is fixed, KPI is contracted, refund clause is real and settled in the same MSA.

What if the KPI is hit early?

Pod hands over IP, you keep the upside. Optional renewal at a reduced rate for the next outcome.

Can we use our own people?

Yes — pods are designed to embed with internal teams; we measure on the joint KPI, not headcount.

Sector clearance?

FS, Healthcare, Public Sector and Defence-cleared principals available; SC / DV uplift on request.
