Approach

How an engagement runs.

A diagnostic, one finished deliverable and a 90-day plan, then capacity agreed on month by month.

How to start and how it is priced

Your first step
A diagnostic, one finished deliverable and a 90-day plan
How it runs
A diagnostic, one priority deliverable, then a defined build or an agreed monthly rhythm.
How it is priced
After a 20-minute call, you receive a written quote for the first piece of work: the deliverable, review dates and one fee, based on the number of awards or records involved and the deadline. Ongoing work is priced as a fixed monthly fee for agreed capacity. No commission or contingency.
Before work begins
Software, specialist services and travel are listed separately. Work begins only after you accept the written scope and fee.

Three ways to engage

01

Advisory

Your team can do the work; you want senior review of strategy, drafts and budgets.

  • Scheduled strategy and decision reviews
  • Feedback on priority drafts and budgets
  • An updated action and risk list

First month Diagnostic, one reviewed priority deliverable and a 90-day plan.

02

Delivery

You need a defined workstream carried from draft to completion.

  • An agreed monthly deliverable queue
  • Drafting, building or reporting capacity
  • A regular review and handoff meeting

First month Diagnostic, one completed priority deliverable and a sequenced backlog.

03

Embedded

Several connected responsibilities need ongoing coordination.

  • Reserved fractional capacity across agreed workstreams
  • Coordination with staff and external reviewers
  • A shared calendar, reporting rhythm and roadmap

First month An operating map, one urgent deliverable and the first 90 days of coordinated work.

Entity details, North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and the documents Praxis can provide are on the Contracting information page. Praxis follows your procurement and subcontracting rules.

Plan your first month

Select up to three areas. Choose the primary deliverable; the other priorities shape discovery and the next 90 days.

Praxis Strategy GroupSample first month

One diagnostic. One deliverable. A direction.

A starting outline. Hisham confirms the scope and fee with you in writing. One primary deliverable is selected; other priorities inform the diagnostic and 90-day plan. Capacity, access and specialist needs are agreed before work begins.

01 / Diagnose

Review the current work, records, responsibilities and deadlines.

02 / Deliver

Complete one agreed priority, such as an award register, a proposal plan or a workflow requirements brief.

03 / Sequence

Set the next 90 days of work, with owners, dependencies and review points.

The planning horizon: 90 days

  1. Day 0
  2. Day 30
  3. Day 60
  4. Day 90

From the first question to work that lasts.

01

Start with what matters.

Begin with the decision, deadline or community need. Praxis reviews the available evidence and hears from the people who own the work. You leave discovery with a bounded priority, a named decision-maker and a definition of success.

02

Give the idea a foundation.

Connect the case for support to a credible budget, resources and a delivery plan. Praxis identifies the funding path, agreements and approvals that must hold before a larger commitment is made.

03

Make the details work.

Turn the plan into records, roles, workflows and review points. The grant narrative, ledger, partner scope and reporting system should tell the same story. Praxis resolves handoffs and documents the decisions your team needs to maintain.

04

Build something that lasts.

Support implementation through a defined cadence. Your team receives the documentation, ownership and next 90 days of priorities needed to continue. A monthly retainer keeps reporting, maintenance and learning on schedule.

Funding, finance, systems and delivery work as one chain. Praxis works across all of it.

A funding decision changes a budget. A budget changes a program. A system changes what a team can deliver. Praxis works at those connections.

Funding, finance, systems and delivery: four disciplines, one chain of handoffs.

  1. The obligation is created here: a scope, a period of performance, a budget the funder has approved. Every constraint downstream is set in this document. Decisions taken here are cheap; the same decisions taken at Delivery are not.

  2. The obligation becomes a ledger. Budget categories must map to real accounts, the indirect method has to be elected and documented and the reporting calendar starts running. This is where many organizations are already behind.

  3. The ledger becomes a workflow: who approves, who records, what the file contains when an auditor asks. A system that matches the award is the difference between reporting and reconstructing.

  4. The workflow becomes service. Problems surface here, and they are usually caused upstream. By the time a problem is visible at Delivery, the cheap fix has expired.

How a funding decision moves

One accountable lead. Praxis brings in certified grant writers, software engineers, accountants and attorneys when the work calls for their expertise. Hisham leads the engagement and coordinates the specialists. If a scope needs a specialist, Praxis names the person and the role in the written scope, and that person joins only with your approval.
