OntriusHere's exactly what happens.
Not a vague promise about "partnership." An actual sequence of events, in order, before you take a single meeting on faith.
Discovery call
We ask what's actually going on, not what looks good in a deck. Real scope, real constraints, and the risks nobody's said out loud yet. Twenty minutes, no obligation, no upsell.
Engagement plan
Within a few days you get a written plan: what we're doing, who owns what, a realistic timeline, and budget guardrails. Nothing starts until you've read it and said yes.
Embedded delivery
Your PM works inside your own tools, Slack, Asana, Notion, whatever you already run on, and sends a weekly status you can actually trust, not one written to avoid hard conversations.
Handover & retro
A documented close-out. If it's ongoing, we keep going. If it's project based, you get a system you can run yourselves, plus an honest retro on what to change next time.
What a normal week looks like
No mystery. This is the actual rhythm once an engagement is running.
- Monday: the week's priorities confirmed, blockers surfaced early instead of on Friday.
- Midweek: async updates in your own tools, so nobody's waiting on a meeting to know where things stand.
- Friday: a written status that says what's done, what's at risk, and what needs a decision from you.
- Any day: reachable directly for anything urgent. We don't make you file a ticket to talk to your own PM.
Questions people actually ask
How fast can you start?
Usually within a week of the engagement plan being signed off. Faster if the project's already on fire.
Do we need to change our tools?
No. We work inside whatever you already use. If it's a mess, that's exactly what our Build service is for, but it's never a requirement to get started.
What if we're not actually a good fit?
Then we'll say so on the discovery call. We'd rather turn down a project than take your money and underdeliver on it.
Can we cancel an ongoing engagement?
Yes. Retainers run on 30 days notice, no long lock in contracts, no penalty for changing your mind.
Fixed price or hourly?
Depends on the engagement. We'll tell you which one fits your project before you sign anything, not after.
What if we already have a PM?
We can support them directly, or run alongside for overflow capacity on a specific project. You don't have to replace anyone to work with us.
