Five positions, each with a price attached.

V.01

Independent, and it costs us

No reseller agreements, no referral margins, no vendor certifications on the wall. It loses us the easy revenue and it is the only reason a build/buy call from us means anything.

V.02

One number per engagement

Agreed before the work starts, measured after, published either way. Two of our published outcomes are smaller than the client hoped for; they are on the site because that is what publishing means.

V.03

Senior people, on the work

Thirty-one practitioners and no subcontractors. The person in the room at the pitch is the person in the room in week nine, because a firm that swaps them has sold you a brochure.

V.04

Designed to end

Every engagement has a handover stage and a date. Ninety-one per cent of what we have delivered is still in place a year after we left, that figure, not the invoice, is the scoreboard.

V.05

Fixed fee, quoted first

A band that cannot be quoted is a scope we have not understood yet, and we say so rather than meter it. Nobody at Tessel has a utilisation target, which is why nobody at Tessel invents a phase two.
