Engagement
SWANK::AI works on a fixed-scope, documented engagement basis.
All work is independent, non-aligned, and conducted within clearly defined limits.
No work begins without an agreed scope.
Engagement Process
1. Initial Inquiry
Inquiries are made by email and should be factual and concise.
Please include:
- a brief description of the AI system or issue
- the type of review being sought
- any relevant deadlines or constraints
Inquiries are reviewed to determine whether an engagement is appropriate and can be undertaken independently.
2. Scope Confirmation
Where an engagement is appropriate, scope is confirmed in writing.
This defines:
- the question or material under review
- the analytical focus and limits
- the deliverables
- the timeframe
- the fee
No work begins without written scope confirmation.
3. Engagement and Invoice
Once scope is agreed:
- an invoice is issued
- payment terms are confirmed
- the engagement begins
All work is conducted independently and documented.
4. Written Analysis Delivered
Analysis is delivered in writing within the agreed timeframe.
Clarifying follow-up may be provided where appropriate, provided it remains within the original scope.
What to Expect
- Engagements are fixed-scope and documented
