How do strategy1 engagements work?
strategy1 offers five ways to work together, each with a fixed scope and a fixed fee, never billed by the hour: a free 30–60 minute Strategy Readiness Scan, a 72-Hour Strategy Bootcamp, a 1–3 week Engine Sprint, an annual Strategy Twin retainer and an outcome-linked mandate. The usual first step is the Scan or a Bootcamp.
