Questions

Common questions about working together.

No. Every engagement is scoped against your requirements, so we provide a written estimate after an initial conversation rather than a generic rate card.

Yes. Direction Sprint outputs are written to be usable by any capable team. Most clients continue with Omnexa, but there is no obligation.

Often that is the natural path: a Direction Sprint leads to a Defined System Build, which then moves into a Continuous Technology Partnership after launch.

Every engagement has a named senior technical lead who stays involved from planning through delivery, supported by the specialists the work requires.
