Starter Engagements

 

Focused technology, cybersecurity, and automation engagements that help you move forward without committing to a large consulting project upfront.

 

SullySoft offers practical, tightly scoped starter engagements for small and midsized businesses that need clarity, risk reduction, automation, or technical leadership. Each offer is designed around a clear outcome, defined boundaries, and an actionable next step.

A better way to start working together

Instead of starting with an open-ended consulting engagement, these offers give your business a focused way to solve a specific problem, validate the fit, and identify the highest-value next steps. Each engagement is intentionally scoped to avoid ambiguity, control cost, and produce a useful business outcome.

The Process

How it works

We start with a short fit call to confirm the problem, environment, and desired outcome. From there, we confirm scope, complete the focused engagement, and deliver practical recommendations or implementation results that your team can act on.

 

1

Fit Call

A short call to confirm the problem, environment, and whether this engagement is the right starting point for your business.

2

Scope Confirmation

We confirm the exact scope, assumptions, deliverables, timeline, and access requirements before any work begins.

3

Focused Review or Sprint

The engagement is completed within the agreed timeline. If questions arise, we flag them before proceeding rather than expanding scope.

4

Findings, Handoff, and Next Steps

You receive your deliverables and a walkthrough call. Clear next steps are included so your team knows what to do with the results.

Clear outcomes. Clear boundaries.

Each offer is designed to be useful without becoming open-ended. Scope, assumptions, exclusions, timelines, and deliverables are defined before work begins, so both sides understand exactly what is included. These starter engagements are intentionally scoped to produce useful outcomes without turning into open-ended consulting projects. If your environment is larger, more complex, or requires hands-on implementation, SullySoft can provide a separate estimate before any additional work begins.

Not sure which offer fits?
