Frequently asked questions
- How do we get started?
- Book a free 30-minute consultation. We’ll confirm whether this is the right engagement for you. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you — and often suggest where to look next.
- What if we need something slightly different?
- The scope is a starting point, not a contract. We adapt once we’ve met the team and seen the real situation. Any scope changes are agreed in writing before we start.
- Who actually delivers the work?
- Engagements are delivered through Xenai Digital, with Robin leading the work. For larger pieces, specialist partners are brought in for specific disciplines — always named in the scope before we start.
- What happens after we’re done?
- You own everything we produce. We stay available for follow-up questions at no extra charge for 30 days. After that, we can roll into a lighter ongoing advisory arrangement if useful.
