Questions to ask before you choose

  1. Is our immediate need a permanent hire, extra capacity or an accountable delivery milestone?

  3. Is the remedy money back, replacement, credit or more work, and when can we stop?

Commercial risk to watch

  • Compare the same deliverables, decision rights, third-party costs, support and exit conditions. A rate, team size or starting price does not establish the total commitment.
