[GUARANTEE]

No diagnosis, no charge.

If after week one of the Cloud Kickstarter you don't have a written architecture decision pack you can defend at your security lead's desk, you can stop the engagement and pay nothing. We've never invoked this clause; we're prepared to.

Questions we get about the Kickstarter.

[01] Is the price really fixed? +

Yes. Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. If the scope grows during discovery, we either trim something else or you decide whether to extend. We don't bill change requests inside the fixed scope.

[02] What if we already have a landing zone? +

Then the Kickstarter isn't the right entry point. The Excellence & Benchmarking service is: we assess what's there, decide what stays, and propose a focused remediation.

[03] Can we add managed services after? +

Yes. Roughly half of Kickstarter clients move into a managed engagement once they see how the foundation runs. The Kickstarter is designed to be the start of a longer relationship without being a lock-in.

[04] Does AI-readiness add cost? +

No. It is included by default. We don't think you should pay extra to make your platform safe for AI workloads.
