The same methodology. Structured for how government buys.
A performance gap in a public agency is no different from the private sector. What’s different is how you’re allowed to engage someone to fix it. We’ve taken a proven cost-intelligence methodology and structured it to fit public procurement — paid analysis, a not-to-exceed contract, and predictable monthly billing.
Paid analysis. Capped implementation. Monthly billing.
Public agencies engage us under a defined contract from the start — not on a share of savings. The structure is built to be approved, audited, and defended by a procurement officer.
How We Engage
The Public Sector Engagement Model
A fixed-scope paid analysis, an implementation contract capped at a not-to-exceed ceiling, and predictable monthly billing.
The work begins under a contract your procurement office can write and approve. Scope is bounded, the ceiling is fixed, and billing is predictable month to month — no variable, savings-linked fee to reconcile or audit. Same diagnostic, same methodology, same outcomes as our commercial work; a commercial structure that fits the rules you operate under.

Public sector engagements are not contingency-based.
Our commercial work is performance-based — a share of verified savings. In government, contingency arrangements raise fair-competition, conflict-of-interest, and audit concerns, and most procurement codes won’t accommodate them. So we don’t use that model here. Public agencies engage us through paid analysis, a not-to-exceed implementation contract, and monthly billing — a structure designed to clear procurement review.
For context — our commercial model
Commercial and private-equity clients engage us on a performance basis, where our fee is a share of the savings we verify. That model is referenced here only to be clear about what changes for the public sector: the methodology is identical; the contracting structure is not.
From a no-cost briefing to a contracted engagement.
Commitment rises only as value is demonstrated. Nothing is contingency-based — every paid stage is a defined contract with a known cost.

Monthly Billing
No contract. We walk through the methodology and where it has found recoverable value in comparable agencies.
A fixed-scope, fixed-fee category review that quantifies the recoverable value — before any implementation commitment.
Execution under a not-to-exceed cap. Bounded commitment, defined deliverables, a ceiling your office sets.
Predictable monthly billing against ongoing work. Stable, auditable, and expandable one category at a time by task order.
