Connact Networks · Delivery

A productised enterprise engagement

Discovery first. Then design, delivery and evolution.

A network of this consequence cannot be responsibly scoped through a pricing card. We begin by making the opportunity, the constraints and the product choices explicit, and we charge for that, because it is the work.

The lifecycle

From institutional intent to an operating network.

Stage 01

Discovery

Objectives and success measures, member and operator journeys, governance and moderation model, data and system mapping, security and hosting constraints, prioritised scope, a working prototype, and a roadmap with an investment range.

Fixed fee · required first
Stage 02

Design

Product strategy, information architecture, your brand applied throughout, the responsive member experience, the administrative and operational experience, and the content and activation model.

Programme fee
Stage 03

Delivery

Configuration of the reusable foundations, client-specific workflows and functionality, integrations, data migration, web and optional mobile delivery, and testing, accessibility and security hardening.

Programme fee
Stage 04

Launch

Deployment through the agreed model, member onboarding and claims, seeded communities and content, launch communication, and operator training.

Programme fee
Stage 05

Evolution

The engine kept current with security and upgrades, roadmap capacity, analytics and optimisation, and new modules or integrations as the network matures and the institution learns what it actually needs.

Discovery

The required first stage. It exists to make the decisions explicit before anyone commits to delivery.

Comes out
  • A working prototype
  • A prioritised scope
  • A roadmap and investment range
  • The integration and residency decisions
Build it with us

Scope, sequence and cost are known, so design begins against decisions rather than assumptions.

Build it without us

The plan is yours. Take it to your own team or another partner. We do not hold the output hostage.

Do not build it yet

Sometimes the honest answer is that the network is premature, or that a smaller change solves it. We say so.

There are three exits, and you keep the work from all three. That is the only reason charging for discovery is fair.

No per-seat pricingYour network should not become more expensive because it succeeded. The licence is institution-wide and annual.

No free trialThere is no self-signup. Discovery is the trial, and it produces something you keep whether or not we build.

No data hostageFull export, any time, at no cost. This is written into the contract, not just into the marketing.

Limited engagementsWe accept a small number of platform programmes each year, deliberately, so that senior people stay on each one.

Clear responsibility

The institution directs. Connact delivers.

Ambiguity about who decides is the most common reason platform programmes stall. We make the split explicit before the first design session.

The institution

Decides

Product direction, brand, governance rules, eligibility, data policy and the roadmap’s priorities.

Connact

Leads

Product and technology delivery: strategy, design, engineering, integration, deployment and evolution.

Together

Agrees

Scope, sequence, deployment model, security posture, launch readiness and success measures.

Optional

Partners

Activation, media or specialist partners participate where they add something we should not pretend to.

Starting

Discovery is the first commitment, and the smallest one.

A fixed fee, and it produces a working prototype, a prioritised scope, a roadmap and an investment range. You keep all of it whatever you decide afterwards.
