Engagement models

Technology Engagements Built Around Clear Outcomes

SoloSoft structures consulting and software delivery around the level of certainty, risk, and collaboration your initiative requires. Start with a defined decision, fund work in accountable stages, and retain visibility from the first workshop through production handoff.

Discuss Your Initiative

A practical commercial model

Buy the level of certainty you need—then expand with evidence

We do not use a generic rate card or promise unsupported savings. Instead, each proposal connects the commercial model to the decision at hand, the intended business outcome, the dependencies, and the controls needed to deliver dependable work.

Ways to Engage

Choose the model that best matches what is known today and how actively your team needs to participate.

Make the right decision first

Discovery & Roadmap

A focused engagement to clarify the business problem, user and workflow needs, technical options, risks, operating assumptions, delivery plan, and investment range before committing to a full build.

Commit to a defined outcome

Scoped Implementation

For a bounded initiative with agreed deliverables, responsibilities, acceptance criteria, milestones, and change-control process. Suitable for well-understood applications, integrations, or modernization releases.

Deliver value in stages

Phased Product Delivery

For evolving products and platforms. Work is organized into prioritized releases, reviewed through working software, and adjusted as new information and feedback become available.

Improve the operating system

Ongoing Advisory & Engineering

For continuous product enhancement, integration, quality, platform operations, or modernization work that benefits from a regular planning and delivery cadence.

How We Structure the Work

A simple engagement rhythm that gives both teams control without unnecessary process.

01 · Align

Confirm the Objective

Establish the business result, users, critical workflows, success measures, timing, dependencies, and client responsibilities.

02 · Scope

Define the Engagement

Document deliverables, assumptions, architecture direction, risks, scope boundaries, acceptance criteria, and the appropriate delivery model.

03 · Plan

Set Milestones & Governance

Agree the backlog or work plan, decision owners, reporting rhythm, demonstrations, release milestones, and change-management process.

04 · Deliver

Build & Review

Deliver working increments or agreed milestones, with stakeholder reviews that keep progress, decisions, and tradeoffs visible.

05 · Validate

Prove Readiness

Complete the testing, integration checks, security and performance reviews, and user-acceptance evidence appropriate to the release.

06 · Transition

Launch & Improve

Support production release, handoff, operational documentation, measurement, and prioritization of the next set of improvements.

What Sets the Commercial Model

Pricing follows the work required to achieve the outcome—not an arbitrary label or one-size-fits-all team size.

Scope

Complexity & Definition

The clarity of requirements, number of workflows, user roles, data needs, and degree of product or technical discovery required.

Environment

Systems & Dependencies

Existing applications, APIs, integrations, data migration, infrastructure, security, compliance, and third-party coordination.

Delivery

Timeline & Team Shape

Target release date, sequencing, specialist roles, client availability, and the governance needed to manage delivery risk.

Assurance

Quality & Handoff

Testing, documentation, production-readiness expectations, knowledge transfer, launch support, and post-release improvement needs.

What a Proposal Includes

Before work begins, both sides should understand what is being delivered, how success is assessed, and how changes are handled.

Purpose

Outcome & Deliverables

The business objective, users and workflows in scope, tangible outputs, and the capabilities that will be delivered.

Control

Assumptions & Boundaries

Dependencies, exclusions, access needs, technical constraints, responsibilities, and the conditions that may affect the plan.

Visibility

Milestones & Reporting

The delivery cadence, review points, decision owners, demonstrations, status information, and release plan.

Confidence

Acceptance & Change Control

The criteria used to validate work, production-readiness expectations, and a transparent process for assessing new requests or changes.

Engagement Evidence You Can Expect

Right-sized artifacts that create a shared record of decisions, progress, and readiness—not documentation for its own sake.

Requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria
Process maps, user flows, and prototypes where needed
Architecture, integration, and technical assumptions
Prioritized backlog, milestone plan, and release schedule
