An ongoing model that brings strategy, specialist talent, and delivery oversight together around your growth priorities. Enter through a focused need. Extend the relationship as your business evolves.
Find your starting pointIdentify the business priority, establish a clear scope, and agree on deliverables, resources, fees, and what completion looks like.
A coordinated delivery team brings the specialist capabilities needed for the engagement, with clear ownership and leadership oversight.
Funding can create a need for administration. Expansion can create a need for stronger systems. Add new work through explicitly agreed scope as priorities evolve.
Growth depends on more than opportunity. It takes funding, operational capacity, commercial momentum, and leadership alignment. We connect the expertise your priorities require.
Connect funding opportunities to a disciplined pursuit strategy and the capacity to manage what comes next.
Build the systems, workflows, and delivery capacity that turn growing demand into sustainable execution.
Translate market opportunity into a clear offer, a stronger commercial process, and coordinated follow-through.
Give leadership a structured way to make decisions, align priorities, and move strategic initiatives forward.
Three examples of how CORE connects specialist expertise to a defined business need—from grants department capacity to operational structure and commercial execution.
Infrastructure & energy / Real estate / Technology / Nonprofits / Professional services / Service businesses
Our delivery model combines a specialist network with centralized project coordination and leadership oversight, so each engagement has a clear plan and a team responsible for moving it forward.
Defined deliverables, scope boundaries, resource plans, and definitions of done establish what the engagement is designed to accomplish.
Named task owners, project coordination, progress tracking, and leadership review keep delivery organized across disciplines.
Planned capacity, quality review, and explicit scope changes help maintain alignment between client priorities and authorized work.
Begin with a conversation about the business outcome you need. We’ll identify the right entry point and define the engagement around your priorities.
Discuss your objectives, current challenges, timing, and constraints. Identify where CORE can create value and what the engagement needs to address.
Technical validation and proposal development typically take place within the 72-hour window between discovery and the proposal review call. Complex needs may require paid discovery.
Review outcomes, deliverables, boundaries, capacity, fees, and timing. Once the scope is agreed, mobilize the team and establish the delivery cadence.
Bring the opportunity, the bottleneck, or the decision you need to move forward.
Scope, pricing, delivery, and what happens next.
No. A focused project, assessment, or buildout can be the right starting point. Growth-as-a-Service is available when you need ongoing access to coordinated expertise and execution capacity.
Yes. Begin with grants and incentives, operations, growth, or advisory. We bring in additional capabilities only when they are relevant to an explicitly agreed scope.
Fees are defined around the scope, resources, capacity, and delivery requirements of your engagement. Mobilization and additional work are scoped separately where applicable. Your proposal sets out the commercial terms before work begins.
New needs are evaluated against the existing engagement. Work beyond the agreed scope requires a documented change or a new scope with associated resources and fees.
We recommend services around the problem you need to solve. Operations addresses delivery, systems, and organizational structure; growth addresses commercial opportunity, sales, and marketing; grants and incentives addresses funding; advisory supports leadership direction and strategic decisions.
We review the work and information you already have. Suitable existing materials can inform the scope; gaps may require a targeted assessment. A selected grant opportunity or a well-defined implementation need can support a more focused engagement.
Yes. We can scope a combined engagement or evaluate phases around your priorities, budget, and approval needs. Each phase has clear outputs, pricing, and completion requirements. Shared or reusable work is reflected in the scope.
Implementation is included when the agreed scope expressly includes it. An assessment or strategic blueprint provides analysis, recommendations, and planning; building integrations, producing assets, or running activities requires defined execution scope.
Our process begins with a discovery call to understand your needs. A second call within 72 hours reviews your tailored proposal, pricing, and next steps. The project start and delivery schedule are agreed separately.
Depending on the service and scope, options may include payment in full or a payment plan with quarterly or monthly installments. Your proposal outlines the available options, payment schedule, and commitment period.
Yes. Work begins after the agreement is signed and the required upfront payment is received, on the agreed start date. For an approved payment plan, the initial installment is required before work begins.
The schedule depends on scope, staffing readiness, client inputs, feedback windows, and external deadlines. Tell us about urgent timing during discovery so we can evaluate it before committing. A proposal review within 72 hours does not mean work starts within that period.
We identify the information, access, meetings, decisions, and approvals needed during scoping and onboarding. CORE reviews existing materials and asks focused questions; your team provides internal facts and timely feedback.
Your Project Engagement Manager coordinates the delivery team and confirms the communication cadence and review checkpoints during onboarding. Responsibilities, feedback rounds, and revisions follow your agreed scope.
You receive the final outputs and supporting materials identified in your scope of work. Where relevant, editable files, documentation, system access, and training are specified in the engagement. Ownership and licensing follow your agreement.
We can discuss a concise decision summary or a proposal presentation for your leadership or board. Identify the audience, timing, questions, and vendor requirements during discovery so we can confirm the materials and arrangements needed.
The agreed scope can include requirements planning, budget and narrative development, drafting against scoring criteria, client feedback, quality review, final approval, submission, and confirmation. Your team supplies accurate facts, supporting documents, financial approvals, and submission authority.
Yes. Post-award support can be scoped around the actual reporting, compliance, reimbursement, and management requirements of the award. An application engagement does not automatically include award administration.
Your proposal defines the application allowance, what counts as a standard application, treatment of complex or additional work, unused capacity, and work crossing delivery periods. These terms are specific to your engagement.
Research may show that available opportunities do not support a worthwhile pursuit. Award decisions remain with the funder. Program changes and unsuccessful applications are addressed through the agreed scope and terms; funding is not guaranteed.
