How we work together
Three ways to engage.
We'll recommend the one that fits your project in the free consultation.
Monthly retainer
A set block of hours each month.
Best for ongoing development across several products or requests. Hours are shared across everything you send us.
Project
A defined scope in a written statement of work.
Best when the deliverables are clear from the start, such as a new formula through to production.
Specialty
Hard formulations welcome.
We take the projects other teams turn down: the ones that call for specialized skills and out-of-the-box problem solving. Then we find creative ways to scale those challenging formulations up with your manufacturer.
