🛟 Milestone-Based Project Rescue for IT Startups

🚀 Facing Delivery Challenges?

  • Many IT startups — even with strong teams — hit critical delivery roadblocks.

  • We offer a milestone-based rescue model that stabilizes delivery, reinforces teams, and restores momentum.

💡 How It Works (Simple & Fair)

  • • Engagement is milestone-based

  • • Payment applies only when the milestone is achieved

  • If the milestone is not achieved, no payment is required.

✅ Why This Works

  • ✔️ Fairness — payment only on achieved milestones

  • ✔️ Transparency — outcomes tied directly to pre-agreed milestones & acceptance criteria

  • ✔️ Growth — delivery gets stabilized, capability strengthened, and pace restored

🧩 Example Milestones (Illustrative)

  • • Ship Release R1 with critical scope unblocked

  • • Reduce overdue tasks by ≥40% within 30 days

  • • Clear top 10 production blockers and stabilize incidents

  • • Achieve UAT sign-off for Module X

  • • Restore on-time delivery to ≥90% for 4 consecutive weeks

  • (Final milestones and acceptance criteria will be mutually defined for your context.)

🔒 Privacy & 1:1 Office Hours

  • Delivery challenges aren’t easy to discuss publicly.

  • We offer confidential 1:1 office-hour slots.

  • NDA can be arranged on request before deep-dive discussions.

🧭 Engagement Flow

    1. Request a confidential consult
    1. NDA (optional) & rapid assessment
    1. Define milestones & acceptance criteria
    1. Execute targeted rescue plan (hands-on + governance)
    1. Review outcomes → Pay only if achieved → plan next milestone

📌 Why Milestone-Based Matters (Founder’s Note)

  • (From Founders Profile, Founder & Delivery Lead)

  • In one assignment, I helped a project team meet critical milestones within 30 days, restoring delivery confidence. But two years later, the end-client chose not to buy the product due to their own strategic decision. The team’s work — and my effort — had delivered results, yet the overall project outcome was affected by external factors beyond our control.

  • That experience reinforced my belief that milestone-based contracting is the fairest approach: startups only pay when delivery is unblocked, and external decisions don’t cloud the recognition of immediate success.

  • This isn’t about advertising a product — it’s about providing service where it’s most needed. My goal is to help startups overcome delivery stress and regain momentum, while receiving fair recognition when milestones are delivered.

🧰 Optional Add-Ons
