O2E · Engagement model

Output Oriented Engagement

You buy capacity in fixed blocks of hours. Every block comes with senior technical review, testing and a project manager. You check each output against a signed specification and pay once you have accepted it.

How it works

Fixed capacity, defined outputs and no advance payment.

Fixed capacity blocks
A known number of hours you can plan around, set out before work starts.
Governed by documents
Discovery notes, then business requirements, then a technical specification you sign.
Objective acceptance
The specification decides what counts as done, so nobody argues about it at the end.
Quality included
Senior review, testing and project management are part of every block at no extra charge.

The path

Step by step

  1. Discovery

    How your business runs and what you need.

  2. Requirements

    What the system must do, agreed in writing.

  3. Specification

    A signed technical specification that defines done.

  4. Build and review

    Weekly builds, checked by a senior and tested.

  5. Accept, then pay

    You check the output. The invoice comes after.

Pay after acceptance

Try the acceptance step

  1. Step 1Done

    Specification signed

    Business discovery and requirements become a signed technical specification. It defines what done means.

  2. Step 2Done

    Output built

    We build in capacity blocks with senior review, QA and project management included.

  3. Step 3Done

    You review

    You test the output against the specification. Nothing is billed while you review.

  4. Step 4Locked

    Payment locked

    The invoice cannot be raised until you accept the output.

Accept the output to release the invoice.

Best for

Is O2E right for you?

  • Work you can describe up front
  • Teams that cannot carry delivery risk
  • Custom software, apps and integrations
  • Finance teams that want every step on paper

What you get

  • Planned capacity and no advance payment
  • A senior reviewer on every deliverable
  • A written record from the first call to the final invoice
What if the output does not meet the specification?

You do not accept it, and we fix it. Since payment comes after acceptance, you never pay for work that falls short.

What happens if requirements change?

We write the change into the specification and agree it with you before building it, so the acceptance test stays clear.
