ROOTCAUSE Consulting
Transparent pricing

Fixed scope. Fixed price. No retainer minimums.

Pick the service that matches the moment (Audit, Build, or Embedded), or buy a single solution à la carte. Each format is priced against a measurable outcome agreed up front. The 30-minute intro call is always free.

Each fixed price is also a time cap. If a solution would take longer than its hour cap to land properly, we either descope to fit, or we agree the extra hours up front at the hourly rate — never on the back end. All prices exclusive of applicable VAT.

One of the best PMs I have worked with. He will be a huge asset to any companies or clients.

Common questions

Before you book the call

Does the intro call cost anything?

No. The 30-minute intro call is free and doesn't commit you to anything. We'll know quickly whether it's a fit.

Do I have to start with the Audit?

No. If you already know what you need built, go straight to Build. If you want a ongoing senior product hand, go straight to Embedded. The Audit is for "we suspect something's off, but we're not sure where."

Can I buy a single solution à la carte?

Yes. Each of the eight solutions has a fixed per-item price and timeline. Pick from the table above, or browse the full catalog for scope details.

What's not included?

Long-form strategy decks and written reports designed to be read by leadership and then quietly archived. I sell outcomes you can measure, not slides you'd have to defend.

What's the hour cap on a fixed-fee solution?

Each fixed-fee solution has a stated time ceiling — not because work stops at the cap, but because surprise overruns shouldn't be billed silently. If a solution needs more time, we either tighten the scope or agree the extra hours at €90/hour before they're worked. No back-end invoices.

Still not sure which one?
