HOW WE ENGAGE
A business model built for accountability.
Choose the service level and commercial structure that fit the work. Every engagement moves from a confirmed scope to a written proposal, signed agreement, delivery process, and documented handoff.
3Service tiers
2Agreement types
1Direct team
ENGAGEMENT TIERS
Solo, Professional, or Agency.
The tier controls delivery depth, collaboration, support, and complexity. It does not replace the project scope: final inclusions and prices are confirmed in writing.
Professional
Deeper delivery for established businesses that need integrations, stronger coordination, and operational readiness.
- Expanded features and integrations
- Structured checkpoints and testing
- Launch and operational planning
- Priority communication
Agency
Custom engagement for multi-system work, larger teams, regulated requirements, or ongoing delivery portfolios.
- Custom scope and workstreams
- Multiple stakeholders or brands
- Governance and reporting plan
- Custom support and service levels
COMMERCIAL MODELS
Match the agreement to the work.
A tier describes service depth. The agreement type determines how scope, delivery, billing, changes, and cancellation are managed.
Fixed-Price Project
A defined deliverable, schedule, milestone plan, and price for a new product, setup, migration, or other bounded outcome.
Best forNew builds, launches & defined transformations
Monthly Managed Services
Ongoing capacity for maintenance, improvements, monitoring, account management, campaigns, or operational support.
Best forBusinesses without a full internal technology team
AI-as-a-Service
Recurring operation and improvement of AI bots or phone workflows, with platform usage and limits documented separately.
Best forAutomated intake, support & communications

DELIVERY SYSTEM
Clear decisions from first call to handoff.
The process scales with the tier, but the operating discipline stays the same.
Qualify
Confirm business objective, service, tier, constraints, decision-makers, budget expectations, and target timing.
Scope & Contract
Define deliverables, exclusions, price, milestones or monthly coverage, dependencies, and cancellation terms.
Deliver
Build or operate through visible checkpoints, documented decisions, testing, and approved changes.
Launch & Support
Release, hand off, monitor, maintain, or transition according to the selected model and signed agreement.
WORKING RULES
What keeps scope and costs predictable.
Straightforward rules help both parties make decisions before they become schedule or budget problems.
Scope is written
Website descriptions and starting prices are not the final contract. Deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, and acceptance criteria go into the proposal and agreement.
Changes are approved
Requests outside the signed scope may change price, timing, or both. Material changes require written confirmation before work proceeds.
Third-party costs stay visible
Cloud usage, advertising spend, telephone usage, licenses, app-store fees, and platform charges are identified separately unless expressly included.
Cancellation follows the agreement
The standard seven-business-day initial window, monthly notice period, earned work, and prepaid unearned balances are explained in the agreement and public policies.
CHOOSING A PATH
Start with the outcome, then choose the structure.
Choose a fixed-price project
Use this when you can identify a specific launch, build, integration, or setup with an acceptance point.
Choose monthly services
Use this when the business needs recurring maintenance, optimization, management, support, or delivery capacity.
Start with Solo
Use this for a concentrated objective, fewer integrations, and a simple decision path.
Use Professional or Agency
Use these when complexity, stakeholders, governance, integrations, or support expectations increase.
Final determination: RankCore reviews the requested service, risk, timeline, dependencies, and operational demands before confirming a tier or agreement type. Agency engagements are always contacted and determined through a custom proposal.
