FAQs About Consulting Services

What is included in a consulting engagement?

Most engagements include discovery, an assessment of your systems and goals, and a written roadmap. The exact deliverables depend on the service area and are agreed before work begins.

How long does a consulting engagement take?

Duration depends on scope. A focused assessment is typically a matter of weeks, while a roadmap covering several systems takes longer. We confirm the timeline during discovery.

How much do consulting services cost?

Cost depends on scope, the number of systems involved, and the depth of analysis. Assessments are priced separately from execution, so you can decide on a build with full information.

Do we have to hire Citrusbug to build after the engagement?

No. You own the findings, recommendations, and roadmap, and can move forward with your internal team or continue with Citrusbug for implementation.

Is consulting suitable for a small or mid-sized business?

Yes. Engagements are scoped around practical budgets and focused questions, so smaller teams get clear answers without paying for an enterprise-size program.

Can you help with AI if our data and systems are not ready?

Yes. That is what an AI readiness assessment covers. We review data quality, integration points, security posture, and team capacity, then sequence the groundwork needed before AI features are built.
