A non-standard special-project category for larger, more exploratory, or more strategic engagements that sit outside the normal packaged service ladder. This can include funded research, collaborative design work, pilot programmes, prototype programmes, or structured domain-specific innovation projects.
Selected clients, partners, sponsor organisations, innovation-friendly SMEs, sector operators, or collaborators with a serious problem or opportunity that justifies bespoke strategic, experimental, or multi-phase project work.
Appropriate when a client or partner wants a bespoke conversation, then a bespoke proposal, scope definition, and commercial structure.
Usually begins with a separate qualification conversation, then a bespoke proposal, scope definition, and commercial structure. Delivery may combine research, design, advisory, feasibility, pilot or prototype definition, or structured multi-step support depending on the project.
Success means ending with a tangible strategic outcome: a validated direction, pilot decision, funded next phase, prototype basis, or a clearly framed innovation project rather than an undefined ambition.
“Special Projects / Strategic Initiatives — available selectively, not a standard entry-level service.”
