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

Why do most faculty choose Director?

Because it is the point where output velocity actually closes a gap and somebody is named as accountable for it. Associate holds the line; Director moves it.

What does “named lead” change day to day?

One person owns your file, knows your last three drafts without re-reading them, and is the one who tells you when a submission plan is not going to hold. It is the difference between a service and a colleague.

I already have a Grant Surge booked. Do I need both?

Probably not — Director includes quarterly grant strategy. Tell us your existing reference and we will credit the overlapping work rather than bill for it twice.

Prefer to pay annually? €17,990 for twelve months — 2 months free. Same engagement, one invoice your research office can process once.

Running a book or programme too? Compare with Partner

Smaller gap to close? Compare with Associate
