Engagement risk disclosure
Summary: Consulting and delivery work involves uncertainty—data, timelines, stakeholders, and external rules can change. This page highlights common risks so you can plan accordingly.
1. Data and access
Late, incomplete, or poor-quality data can delay work or weaken conclusions. Secure access to systems, subject-matter time, and timely client reviews are required for most engagements.
2. Scope change
Discoveries during discovery—extra data sources, new stakeholders, or expanded requirements—may require change orders, schedule updates, or additional budget.
3. Regulatory and market change
Rules, reporting programs, and technology evolve. Work product reflects information and standards agreed at the time of delivery unless you contract for ongoing monitoring or updates.
4. Software and integrations
Custom builds rely on APIs, hosting, and vendor roadmaps you choose or already use. Downtime, breaking changes, or security incidents at third parties can affect production systems.
5. No promise of results
We bring structured methods and experience, but we do not guarantee rankings, emissions outcomes, cost savings, revenue impact, or adoption unless a specific metric is defined and agreed in writing with clear measurement rules.
By proceeding with an engagement after reviewing this disclosure, you acknowledge that you have discussed material risks with us where needed and accept that professional services carry inherent uncertainty.
