Working together
One partner, from the first conversation to the work after launch.
Every engagement runs the same way. How it is paid for depends on what you need and how closely you want us involved.
01
How an engagement runs
- 01
Understand
We begin with a confidential consultation, then look closely at the business: where it is going, how it runs and what is in the way. You receive a clear recommendation on what to change, connect, automate or build, and what to leave alone.
- 02
Build
We design and build what was agreed, and handle everything involved. You see progress at the level of the brief and are asked only for the decisions that are yours.
- 03
Improve
After launch we stay. We learn from how the work performs, improve it and take on the next obstacle as the business grows.
02
An arrangement that fits the work.
- 01
Project
A defined piece of work, with scope and price agreed before it starts.
Suits: a specific problem with a clear finish.
- 02
Retained
A monthly partnership, with Evolve on hand as the business and its priorities move.
Suits: owners and founders who want continuous progress and one partner who knows the business.
- 03
Partnership
Evolve takes a stake in the company and is invested in the outcome alongside you.
Suits: selected ventures where the fit is right on both sides.
A project can become a retained partnership once the first piece of work has proved itself. We will recommend the arrangement that suits the work, and the choice is always yours.
03
What is the same in all three
- You work with one senior partner throughout
- The work is properly specified, secured, tested and backed up
- You own what is built, including the code and the data
- You are never tied to a single supplier or platform
