A practical decision
Define who owns the outcome.
An individual joining your team and a provider managing delivery are different purchases. Specify technical leadership, project management, acceptance criteria and handoff before comparing costs.
-
Delivery boundaries
Identify which decisions your team keeps and which responsibilities you expect the provider to own.
-
Transition plan
If replacing a vendor, agree on access, documentation, overlap, acceptance checks and continuity.
-
Comparable proposals
Request the same team mix, capacity, management scope and support period so a rate comparison has meaning.
