A Dedicated Consultant, Embedded With Your Team
Some work isn't a project. The platform backlog grows a little every sprint, the questions are getting more architectural, and what you're missing isn't a deliverable — it's a person. Specifically: senior Microsoft platform capability that's present, not visiting.
That's this model. A dedicated IMP0WER consultant embedded with your team on a recurring cadence — inside your standups, your planning, your priorities — without the search, salary, and single-point-of-failure of a full-time hire.
When this model fits
The platform work outpaces the team.
Apps, flows, and sites keep accumulating faster than your people can build, harden, and govern them — and the backlog is starting to make decisions for you.
The missing hire is hard to make.
A senior Power Platform or SharePoint architect is a hard recruit: scarce, expensive, and often under-used as a full-time role in a mid-sized organization. Fractional senior capability fits the actual demand curve.
Your capable team needs depth on tap.
Internal builders handle the everyday; the environment strategy, the security model, the gnarly integration — those land better with an architect in the room, not a ticket in a queue.
A project ended and momentum shouldn't.
After a migration or build, a steady cadence keeps improvements shipping without a new proposal for every item.
Someone has to run the guardrails.
Governance and Center of Excellence operations need an experienced operator, not just a design document. Embedded time is how the design becomes a habit.
How it works
A recurring block of senior time, sized to the work and revisited on a regular rhythm. The model holds because it fits, not because it locks you in. Your consultant joins your rituals, works your priorities as they shift, and stays reachable between sessions for the question that shouldn't wait a week.
Two things don't change from our project work. A founder leads every engagement; the IMP0WER delivery team extends us: embedded consultants work with founder-level oversight and can pull specialist depth when a task warrants it. And everything ships against the Ø Standard: named owners, no personal credentials, documentation a stranger could operate from. The consultant documents as they go, so the knowledge compounds in your organization; if the engagement ends, the understanding stays.
Not staff augmentation
You get a person and the practice they stand on.
Classic staff augmentation rents you a résumé and leaves the context, quality, and management to you. This is a different animal. What we're against isn't any particular staffing model — it's spec-driven, no-context delivery, where the person doing your work has never heard your problem. An embedded IMP0WER consultant arrives with a firm behind them: a published methodology, a production standard, founder accountability, and delivery-team reach. You get a person and the practice they stand on.
The deal runs both ways: if what you actually need is a nameable outcome with a finish line, we'll tell you it's project work and price it that way instead — a dedicated retainer for a six-week job serves us, not you.
What they work on
Anything in our service catalog, steered by your priorities as they move: Power Apps and automation builds and hardening, SharePoint architecture and cleanup, reporting, governance operations, agent work, and the unglamorous fixes that never quite justify their own project. The point of the shape is that the work can change without the contract changing.
Commercials, plainly
Dedicated-consultant pricing is scoped per engagement — cadence and seniority drive it — and pricing explains why we publish assessment prices but quote embedded work. Proposals are line-itemed: who, at what rate, doing what. No blended rate hiding a junior behind a senior's title, and no recommendation driven by license quotas.
If you're weighing the three shapes — project, dedicated consultant, retainer — How We Work lays them side by side. Or just describe the capability gap and we'll tell you which shape fits; we respond within one business day.
