- • Enterprise: Full-time in-country lead, continuous QMS, on-call escalation.
Blended Retainer + Success Fee
Monthly base retainer + outcome bonuses (e.g., certification achieved, IRR thresholds). Aligns incentives directly.
Dedicated Resource Pricing
Fixed monthly fee for a named in-country director (acts as your COO/Technical Lead). Ideal for hands-off investors.
