Service Tiers & Engagement Terms

Most organizations already operate some version of an intelligence function: tracking competitors, monitoring program announcements, watching regulatory shifts, reading contract awards. They just lack the doctrine, systems and processes to make it systematic. Applied formalizes what you're already doing, and builds the capability to do it deliberately.

Every engagement starts with a question sent through the research intake. We confirm the scope in writing within two business days. A larger question is quoted as one of the services below before you pay more, and your deposit credits toward it.

How Engagements Work

All projects are scoped and priced before work begins.

Scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing are agreed in writing upfront: no ambiguity, no scope creep.

Pricing scales with organizational size and engagement complexity. The starting rates listed are calibrated for small and mid-size operators; enterprise and prime contractor engagements are scoped individually.
