Engagements / Cognitiv Pty LtdFIG 0.0 / Four engagement types

Four shapes of senior work.

These are the senior, embedded engagements - the tier above Cognitiv's fixed-scope services. Cognitiv runs four engagement types because senior work does not fit one shape. Some runs on a retainer. Some compounds in equity. Some is owned product Cognitiv built and still operates. Pick the shape that fits the problem.

Not sure which shape fits

Start a conversation. Cognitiv will say plainly whether an engagement fits - or whether a fixed-scope service is the better start.

The first call covers what you're trying to ship, what shape of help you actually need, and whether Cognitiv is the right partner. If it isn't, that gets said on the call.
