Outcome-based delivery — we own the runbook.
When you want a delivered outcome, not a named seat. Fixed scope, fixed price, delivered by a J&S pod that we staff, lead, and manage end-to-end.
Signals that this is the right shape.
Well-defined outcomes — SailPoint IdentityIQ upgrade, Okta tenant consolidation, SOC 2 readiness, Zero Trust segmentation rollout.
Programs without the internal leadership bandwidth to manage a staff-aug engagement day-to-day.
Clients who prefer a single-throat-to-choke delivery partner over individual consultants on the timesheet.
Multi-quarter initiatives where the scope is clear but the path is not.
End-to-end in one view.
- 1Step 1
Scoping workshop
A 2 to 5-day workshop with your team to convert the outcome into a work breakdown, acceptance criteria, and a delivery plan.
- 2Step 2
Statement of Work
Fixed scope, fixed price, named deliverables, and milestones. No ambiguity at month three about what was promised.
- 3Step 3
Pod stand-up
J&S staffs the pod — typically a delivery lead, 2 to 4 specialists, and a part-time architect. We run it. You review at milestones.
- 4Step 4
Delivery + handover
We deliver against acceptance criteria, run knowledge transfer to your team, and sign off. Optional post-delivery support retainer available.
Frequently asked questions
- How do you price managed services?
- Fixed price per milestone, tied to acceptance criteria. Change requests are priced and approved before work begins — no end-of-project invoice surprises.
- Who owns the pod day-to-day?
- J&S. Our delivery lead runs stand-ups, prioritizes backlog, and reports at milestones. Your team reviews and approves — you do not have to manage ours.
- What happens if scope changes?
- We run a change-request process — impact assessment, revised price, revised timeline. Signed by both sides before work starts on the change.
- Can we flex to staff augmentation mid-engagement?
- Yes. Some pods convert to contract staffing once the initial outcome is delivered, if the client wants ongoing specialist depth without re-running the scoping workshop.
