Engagement Process
A step-by-step look at how we scope, deliver, and close out partnership consulting engagements.
Every engagement follows a clear sequence so you know what happens before, during, and after our work together. Timelines vary by consultation type, but the stages remain consistent.
Initial conversation
You submit an inquiry through our contact form or call our Kaohsiung office. We schedule a 30-minute call to understand your expansion context, target markets, and urgency. There is no charge for this conversation.
Scoping and proposal
Within five business days, we send a written proposal outlining deliverables, timeline, fee, and required client inputs. Proposals are fixed-fee unless you request hourly advisory arrangements.
Kickoff and access
Upon deposit receipt, we schedule kickoff and request documents: draft agreements, org charts, product margin data, and partner correspondence. A named engagement manager coordinates all scheduling.
Research and interviews
Senior consultants conduct stakeholder interviews and market research. We share interim findings if we uncover issues that affect your timeline — you will not wait until final delivery to hear about deal-breaking risks.
Delivery and review
Final deliverables are presented in a findings session. You receive editable source documents, not just PDFs. One round of revisions is included within ten business days of delivery.
Follow-up
We check in 30 days after delivery to answer implementation questions. Optional retainer arrangements cover ongoing negotiation support if your deal progresses beyond the engagement scope.
