Project Arrangements:
|
Teamwork & flexibility are both priorities at AKGears. Select the business arrangement that works best
for your design team:
- Project-based consulting is when a whole project or its stages are quoted upfront
- Hourly-based consulting is when a project scope cannot be defined upfront (typically R&D and failure analysis)
- Exclusive consulting agreements
- Other project arrangements are possible per customer request
