Engagement model

A defined build, for an agreed scope and price.

For work with a clear scope and acceptance criteria. After a short discovery we agree the scope, a fixed price and a payment plan with you, then own the delivery. You make the decisions and accept the result.

Why it exists

When the scope is clear, the price can be too.

Some work is genuinely defined: an MVP with a clear feature set, a migration with a fixed target, an integration between known systems. For that kind of work a fixed price is fair to both sides. You know the cost before anything starts, and we carry the delivery risk.

What makes it work is the discovery before the price. We learn the domain, the systems and the acceptance criteria first, so the scope we price is the one you actually need. We decline fixed price on undefined scope; that contract just prices in mistrust, and time and materials serves that work better.

You manage acceptance and decisions. We own delivery, schedule and quality.

Who does what

One party accountable for the delivery.

You

Decide and accept

  • Make the product decisions
  • Agree the acceptance criteria with us
  • Accept the result against them
Odeontech

Own the delivery

  • Write the scope: what is in and what is out
  • Plan the schedule and keep it in view
  • Deliver to our engineering standard
In practice

How the model works, from discovery to handover.

01

Discovery before the price

A short discovery comes first: the domain, the systems the work touches and what “done” means. The price is set after it, not before.

  • Acceptance criteria agreed before pricing
  • Risks and assumptions written down
02

A scope you can hold us to

The scope is written down with what is in, what is out and how each piece will be accepted. It is the reference for the whole project.

  • Written scope, fixed price
  • Payment plan agreed with you
03

Changes, handled openly

If something new comes up, it is written down with its effect on price and plan before anything changes. Nothing is added quietly, and nothing is charged by surprise.

  • Every change agreed in writing first
  • Its effect on price and plan stated up front
04

Acceptance, then handover

You accept the result against the agreed criteria. Documentation and a handover come with the delivery, whether the work continues with us or not.

  • Acceptance against the criteria agreed at the start
  • Documentation and handover included
How it runs

From discovery to acceptance.

01

Discovery

A short discovery to understand the work, the systems it touches and the acceptance criteria.

02

Scope and price

A written scope, a fixed price and a payment plan agreed with you.

03

Build

We deliver against the scope, with progress you can see along the way.

04

Acceptance and handover

You accept the result against the agreed criteria; documentation and handover follow.

Fit

When to choose this model.

Right fit

Choose a turnkey project when the scope is defined with acceptance criteria, when a fixed budget matters most, and when you want one party accountable for delivering it. A well-defined MVP or a migration with a clear target are typical examples.

Look elsewhere

If the scope is still evolving, time and materials keeps you flexible without pricing in uncertainty. If the work is a roadmap that keeps going, a dedicated team fits better.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

For genuinely fixed scope, yes: that is the turnkey project. We decline fixed price on undefined scope; that contract just prices in mistrust.
After a short discovery, as a fixed price for the agreed scope, with a payment plan agreed with you.
Changes are written down with their effect on price and plan, and agreed before anything changes.
You accept the result and we hand over with documentation. If you want ongoing work, it can continue as maintenance and support or with a dedicated team.
