One monthly subscription for the Consulting Department. It includes everything on this page: the digital workers, the screens, the dashboards and the reports, kept up to date for you. Pricing will be published soon.
What it is for is time back: the consulting work below is designed to be done for your team, under your approval. How much of your team's work it takes on depends on your business.
Runs each engagement from proposal to close-out: drafts the proposal and statement of work, tracks hours, fees and deliverables against the agreed scope, writes up variations before out-of-scope work starts, and records whether the client's objective was met.
Breaks the client's question into answerable parts, tests a working hypothesis with the right analysis tool, and drafts deliverables answer first, marking what the evidence shows, what is assumed and what is judgement, for a senior reviewer to sign off.
Keeps the practice's pipeline, timesheets, billing and utilisation current, chases unbilled work and overdue invoices, and gathers conflict and independence checks for a named person to clear before new work is accepted.
Each worker drafts, structures, tracks and checks. It never signs an engagement letter, statement of work or variation, never sets or discounts a fee, and never commits the firm to scope, a deadline or an outcome -- those rest with the partner or principal who holds the authority, and each worker names who that is. It never clears a conflict of interest or an independence question: it gathers the facts and the parties, and a named person decides. It never presents legal, tax, accounting or engineering advice as the firm's signed professional opinion, and it never shares one client's confidential information with another client or outside the engagement team. It never states a professional rule, liability cap or statutory figure from memory: it names the source and says to confirm the current version.
For example, if a consulting team of ten handed over half its work, that is five people's work: 5 x A$100,000 = A$500,000 a year. Change the figures to match your business.

Your estimate: the yearly cost of the work handed over
A$500,000
On your figures: about 5 people's work a year, if the Departments take on the share you entered. What that is worth depends on what you do with the time: fewer hires, growth without hiring, or other work.
