How an engagement runs.
No sales team, no discovery workshop that turns into a proposal for another workshop. You talk to the person who will do the work, you get a written scope, and you get a document your leadership can decide from.
The five steps
- Step 1
Discovery call
Thirty minutes on the decision you need to make, who needs to be convinced, and what evidence already exists. If we are not the right fit, we say so on this call.
- Step 2
Scoping note
Within a few days you receive a one-to-two page note: the question we will answer, the deliverables, the timeline and what we need from your side. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- Step 3
Evidence first
We gather and structure the data before forming a view. Weekly check-ins keep you informed; nothing is a surprise at the end. Assumptions are written down as we go.
- Step 4
Committee-ready delivery
You receive the document, the underlying model and a walkthrough. Deliverables are built to be presented by you, in your meeting, without us in the room.
- Step 5
Follow-through
A check-in after the decision meeting to answer the questions it raised, and a handover so your team can maintain the model or dashboard without us.
Engagement formats
Fixed-scope project
One question, one document, one scope agreed up front. The default for impact reports, decision briefs, dashboards and proofs of concept.
Advisory retainer
A set number of hours per month for leaders who need an analyst on call: briefs, model updates, board preparation.
Workshops and training
Half-day to multi-week programs on decision memos, dashboard design and practical AI use, delivered by role.
Typical timelines
Every scope is different, but these ranges hold for most engagements.
| Service | Typical duration | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Custom AI solution | 6–12 weeks | Phased; a working first version early, then hardening and handover. |
| Decision brief | 2–4 weeks | Faster when the data already exists. |
| Economic impact report | 6–10 weeks | Driven by primary data collection. |
| Strategy dashboard | 6–8 weeks | Includes KPI definition workshop and handover. |
| AI proof of concept | 4–6 weeks | Rubric agreed before testing starts. |
| AI readiness program | 8–10 weeks | Assessment, role-based training, roadmap. |
What we need from you
Engagements move at the speed of access. Three things make the difference:
- One decision-maker who can answer questions within a couple of days.
- Access to the data that exists, in whatever shape it is in. Messy is fine; missing is a finding.
- Two to three hours of stakeholder time across the engagement for interviews or testing.
How we think about the work
- Show the math
- Every number has a source and every assumption is written down. If it cannot be defended in a footnote, it is not in the report.
- One question at a time
- A scope that tries to answer everything answers nothing. We narrow first, then go deep.
- Built to hand over
- Models, dashboards and playbooks are yours, documented so your team can run them without us.
- Confidential by default
- We do not name clients or disclose engagements without written permission.
Let's work on it together
No two problems arrive in the same shape, so we do not sell packages. Tell us what you are trying to decide, prove or fix, and we will tell you how we would approach it and what it would take. The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Do you publish your fees?
No. Every engagement is shaped around the problem you bring, so the honest answer starts with a conversation. Reach out, describe the issue, and we will work through the right approach together before anything is committed.
Who actually does the work?
Pamimo Akinjide, the firm's founder and principal. There is no handoff to junior staff. Specialist collaborators are brought in only with your agreement and named in the scoping note.
Can you work with confidential data?
Yes. We sign your NDA or provide ours, work inside your systems where required, and never move personal data into public AI tools. Data handling is described in every scoping note.
What if the scope changes mid-way?
It happens. We stop, write a one-paragraph change note with the impact on timeline and fee, and continue once you approve it.
Do you work with organizations outside Canada?
Yes. Most clients are Canadian, but the methods travel, and engagements run remotely across time zones.

Tell us the decision you are facing. You will hear back within one business day.
