How pricing works (not a guess)
Admin rates × your answers = indicative quote
1. Admin price book
Supplier sets variables: licence base, per-country/programme/team steps, implementation, training, MERL, field activation, pilot fee, band %.
Open price book2. You design the scope
9 steps: countries, outcomes, modules, scale, workflow, data, guardrails, path, contact. This is the DIY RFP — you define work; we do not invent it.
Design your scope3. Engine builds the quote

- Pilot plan (2–6 weeks or 90-day sandbox path) — Agreed scope, success criteria, and check-in cadence.
- Data templates + import support — Mapped import of legacy Excel/CSV with duplicate handling guidance.
- Mid-pilot check-in — Confirm coverage, consent quality, and first results/evaluation entries.
- Closing pack — Exports + “what the system now holds” summary for internal or funder review.
