Consulting Services

Adaptive Velocity Consulting provides strategic consulting, operational transformation, and leadership development services. Specific terms for consulting engagements, including scope, deliverables, fees, and timelines, are defined in separate engagement letters or statements of work.

Engagement Process

• Initial consultation requests do not constitute a binding agreement
• Services begin only upon execution of a formal engagement letter
• Each engagement is governed by its specific statement of work
• We reserve the right to decline engagements that conflict with our values or existing commitments

All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, methodologies, frameworks, and software, is the property of Adaptive Velocity Consulting and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works without our express written permission.

Client-Created Work Product

Unless otherwise specified in an engagement letter, work product created specifically for clients during consulting engagements becomes the property of the client upon full payment. We retain the right to use general methodologies, frameworks, and learnings (in anonymized form) for our practice development.

Confidentiality

We maintain strict confidentiality regarding all client information, proprietary data, and strategic discussions. Both parties agree to:

• Protect confidential information with the same standard of care used for their own information
• Not disclose confidential information to third parties without prior written consent
• Use confidential information solely for the purposes of the engagement
• Return or destroy confidential information upon engagement completion or request

Fees and Payment Terms

Fees for consulting services are specified in individual engagement letters and may be structured as:

• Fixed project fees
• Time and materials arrangements
• Retainer agreements
• Performance-based components (when applicable)

Payment terms are net 30 days unless otherwise specified. Late payments may incur interest charges and may result in suspension of services. Clients are responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred during engagements (travel, materials, third-party services) as outlined in the engagement letter.

Warranties and Disclaimers

We provide our services with professional care and expertise. However, consulting advice is based on information available at the time and involves inherent uncertainties. We make no guarantees regarding specific business outcomes or results.

Our total liability for any claims arising from or related to our services shall not exceed the fees paid by the client for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.

Termination

Either party may terminate a consulting engagement as specified in the engagement letter, typically with 30 days written notice. Upon termination:

• Client remains responsible for fees for work completed through the termination date
