How it works

From request to workspace

Request a quote without an account. We record it, review, and agree scope and fee by email. After you agree, create an account and start the project from your dashboard. The agreed work then lives in the workspace.

The sequence

Seven steps from the first request to a live project.

  1. 01

    Request

    Tell us what you need

    On the quote form you describe the study, the data, and the outcome you need. You do not need an account at this step.

    Get a quote

  2. 02

    Record

    We record the request

    You receive a reference so the request can be found again. Keep it with your notes when we write to you.

  3. 03

    Review

    We review the work with you

    We write by email until the need, the files, and the timeline are clear.

  4. 04

    Agreement

    Scope and fee are agreed

    The quotation sets the work, the fee, and what will be delivered. The project starts only after you agree.

  5. 05

    Account

    Create an account when you are ready to begin

    After the work is agreed, create an account so you can open the workspace.

    Create an account Sign in

  6. 06

    Project

    Start the agreed work from your dashboard

    Once you have an account, start the project from your dashboard. The agreed work is then set up as a project you can follow.

  7. 07

    Workspace

    Follow progress, documents, messages and invoices

    The workspace is where the agreed work lives while it is underway. You will find progress, documents, messages, and invoices in one place.

The client workspace

Once the work is agreed, this is where you follow it.

Interactive demo. The screens below use Kaduna Household Nutrition Assessment as an example so you can see the layout. Use the workspace menu to move through Dashboard, Projects, Documents, Messages, and Invoices.
