Proposal
Oleg Vladov does not publish a flat price list. A single policy and a full program are different jobs, and a price invented for this page would mislead you. What you can expect is a written proposal, a fee stated in advance, and no project work until you confirm that proposal.
The services covered by a proposal are the ones on the services page. This page explains the commercial shape.
01
You write. The practice replies and, if useful, asks a short set of questions. The aim is to learn whether a proposal is worth writing. The exchange is not a project and not a contract. If a fee were ever charged for scoping itself, it would be stated before you agree to that step. At present, the introductory exchange is the route into a proposal, not a billed product of its own.
02
One service, tightly bounded. Typical examples are a gap review on named themes, or a policy set of an agreed length. The proposal states the deliverables, the number of interviews, the revision rounds, and the fixed fee for that scope.
03
A combination, usually program design together with the core policies and, where needed, the evidence register. Still one proposal, still one fee for the described file. It is larger than a focused project because more people and more documents are in scope. It is not an open-ended retainer.
04
A monthly fee for the cadence described under ongoing coordination: log, reminders, and a status note. The retainer starts only after a written confirmation. It can follow a build, or it can support a team that already has documents. Hours or meetings beyond the cadence are quoted first.
The proposal states the fee in writing before work starts. For a project, the fee is fixed for the described scope. For coordination, the fee is monthly for the described cadence. The amount reflects the volume of documents, the number of topics, the number of people to interview, and the revision rounds included.
A topic added later is not folded into the old fee. It is described and priced before it starts. If a third-party cost were required, such as a courier of physical files, it would be named in the proposal. The practice does not add charges after the fact.
Payment timing is in the proposal. A common pattern is a part of the fee to open the project and the remainder at handover. Your proposal will state the pattern that applies to you. Bank details appear in the proposal or the invoice, not on this website, so they are not published in a place this page cannot keep current.
An email that accepts the stated scope and fee is enough to form the engagement. Browsing this website does not form one. The terms say the same thing.
These exclusions match the disclaimer. They are repeated here so the commercial offer and the legal boundary say the same thing.
Send a note with the organization, the topic, and the pressure behind it. You will receive a reply by email. If a proposal follows, you are free to decline it. Declining has no fee.
