Choosing the implementation partner
I evaluate who actually builds it. The stack was chosen deliberately as a flagship reference build, not a one-off. The third-party team was selected against that brief.
A workwear B2B distributor needed a B2B portal, an ERP evaluation, and a storefront replacement. I ran a Clarity Audit, then Deliver Consultancy: vendor requirements, procurement, and integration architecture.

I scope and oversee it. The partner team builds it.

I evaluate who actually builds it. The stack was chosen deliberately as a flagship reference build, not a one-off. The third-party team was selected against that brief.
I write the requirements the B2B portal and ERP evaluation actually need to answer, then run procurement against them, rather than accepting the first plausible platform.
I stay involved weekly across the build, checking the integration architecture holds as the implementation partner delivers. Not a one-off sign-off at the start.
Restructured from Deliver's usual six months to a twelve-month minimum for this engagement, given the scope: the full build across the first four months, then ongoing weekly involvement. I name it here only as a shape, not a price. Pricing detail stays out of public case studies.
The engagement is live and ongoing, not a completed, closed project.
