Choose a pricing model that fits scope certainty and makes delivery risk visible, costed and priced.

The Delivery Certainty Framework helps principals and engagement leads make stronger commercial decisions before work begins. It maps consulting engagements by scope certainty and pricing type, then directs the user to one of four practical playbooks.

Each playbook sets out the staffing considerations, commercial choices, warning signs and pricing models to consider. Use it to see what good looks like, decide what to do next and avoid accepting delivery risk without pricing it.

BEST FOR Principals and engagement leads pricing or reviewing consulting engagements, especially when scope certainty, delivery accountability or the right pricing model is unclear.
