XP ConsultingFree Brief

You won't pay yet.

Your situation

Institutional or personal — both fine. This is where our reply and your reference go.
An approximate date is fine — we work backwards from it.
This single line becomes the spine of your strategy.
Choose an institutional route and we’ll send a PO-ready scope document. The subsidy route is an eligibility check — it never sends you to checkout.
Optional. The more precise the clock, the more useful the brief.

Quick answers

Three quick answers

Is a shared strategist a queue?

No. It means one person holds your file alongside a small number of others, rather than being named exclusively to you. You get the same accountability; what you do not get is the priority turnaround that Director adds.

Is one grant cycle a year enough?

If your gap is mostly publications, yes — the cycle we run is the one that matters most on your clock. If you are chasing several mechanisms a year, Director moves grant strategy to quarterly.

What if my review date is closer than I think?

Then say so in the brief and we will tell you honestly what is achievable before it. If the answer is “not enough to justify this”, we will say that too.

Prefer to pay annually? €11,490 for twelve months — 2 months free. Same engagement, one invoice your research office can process once.

Need a named lead and quarterly grant strategy? Compare with Director
