Commercial guardrails before proposal

Aligned with RedDogSME contract playbook defaults for payment terms, scope control, and risk limits.

  • •Payment terms: Assess upfront, Build 50/50, Retainer monthly upfront.
  • •Scope changes require signed change order before execution.
  • •No uncapped liability; cap defaults to fees paid in prior 12 months.
  • •Client owns paid deliverables; RedDogSME retains reusable platform methods.
  • •Objective acceptance criteria in SOW with bounded review window.

Why Fixed Pricing Works

You buy accountable outcomes, not billable drift.

RedDogSME

Outcome-Based Commercial Model
  • Fixed-price statements of work with milestone acceptance criteria
  • Explicit exclusions and upgrade routes before signature
  • Senior architecture ownership through delivery and handoff
  • Package matrix supports faster, defensible buying decisions

Hourly Consulting

Variable Cost Model
  • Time-based billing with uncertain final spend
  • Budget pressure from scope interpretation changes
  • Resource swapping risk across project phases
  • Higher forecasting and approval friction

DIY Hiring

Capacity Risk
  • Hiring and onboarding lag before delivery can start
  • Single-point knowledge concentration risk
  • Continuity dependency on retention outcomes
  • Longer time-to-value on strategic initiatives
2026-2027 Commercial Positioning

Lead with RECON, credit into implementation where indicated, and expand into recurring pods only when governance and adoption KPIs are met.

Common buying objections, answered

How do we know scope will not drift?

Each engagement includes fixed deliverables, exclusions, and acceptance criteria in the SOW. Scope changes require formal change order approval.

What if the RECON audit finds limited value?

RECON includes a risk-reversal guarantee. If fewer than three actionable improvements are identified, refund conditions apply under the SOW.

Can we apply RECON spend toward implementation?

Yes, eligible implementation packages can credit RECON fees when stated in the signed scope.
