1. Nature of delivery
Brentorin Chapter provides online advisory and research services. Depending on the accepted scope, delivery may be a written report, annotated audit, category map, strategy framework, recommendation memo, roadmap, scheduled discussion, or a combination of those items. Physical shipping is not part of the published catalog.
The service explorer identifies the starting scope, expected output, required materials, and a planning window for each service. Those descriptions help define a proposed engagement. They do not replace the written agreement that confirms the actual work, delivery format, price, responsibilities, and schedule.
2. Agreeing the work
Before work begins, the parties should agree the retail business being reviewed, the business question, the relevant audience and geography, the product or channel boundaries, and the items to be delivered. Any workshop or presentation should be identified explicitly, including its duration and intended participants where relevant.
The written scope should also identify the fee, payment timing, applicable taxes, approved external costs, communication method, and delivery schedule. A project inquiry or a prepared website brief does not accept a quote, reserve a delivery date, or create a paid engagement. There is no checkout or actual email submission within the brief form.
3. When the planning window starts
A planning window generally begins after the scope is accepted, the agreed initial payment requirements are met, the relevant materials and access have been provided, and the start date has been confirmed. If one of those prerequisites is missing, a published estimate does not require work to begin without it.
Business days mean Monday through Friday, excluding applicable U.S. public holidays, unless the scope defines a different calendar. A request for urgent work must be separately assessed. No rush fee, guaranteed immediate start, or overnight delivery commitment is created by choosing a consultation topic in the public form.
4. Research and evaluation inputs
Most starting scopes can use public storefront information, your business context, product information, and relevant aggregate records. Provide information that is current, accurate to the best of your knowledge, and lawful to share. Tell us about known gaps, restrictions, and important changes during the work.
If a review requires access beyond public pages, the parties should agree the minimum access required and an appropriate way to provide it. Passwords and private files do not belong in the public brief. Primary customer research, paid data access, large-scale data cleaning, and analysis of personal customer records are not implied by the catalog; they require an express scope and suitable arrangements.
5. Formats and handoff
Documents may be delivered electronically in a format identified in the scope, such as PDF, a presentation, a spreadsheet, or an agreed digital document. A structured review may include annotations and a prioritized issue list. Strategic work may include decision principles, a category structure, or a phased roadmap.
Where a presentation or discussion is included, it supports the handoff of the agreed work rather than creating unlimited future consulting. The parties should confirm where the deliverable will be sent and who may receive it. A message is not considered delivered merely because a local website page displays a prepared-brief confirmation.
6. Service-specific boundaries
An audit assesses a defined experience and set of tasks; it does not represent an exhaustive security test, accessibility certification, or formal usability study. An intelligence report reflects the source boundaries and research period; it is not automatically a representative survey or a warranty that no relevant source was omitted.
An AI advisory engagement defines use cases, readiness, constraints, and evaluation criteria. It does not include engineering, deployment, or a guarantee of a vendor’s model performance. A pricing framework supports your independent decisions. An integrated blueprint connects agreed strategy topics and does not automatically include every standalone service in full.
7. Progress, delays, and pauses
The scope should establish appropriate communication points for the engagement. If an issue is likely to affect a material milestone, the parties should discuss the reason, the work affected, and a realistic revised plan. A delay should not be hidden behind an unchanged website estimate.
Missing information, unavailable access, late approvals, nonpayment under the agreed terms, platform outages, or events outside reasonable control can affect delivery. A pause should be proportionate to the issue. If delivery becomes materially impracticable, the parties should address a revised scope, new schedule, cancellation, or refund for unperformed work as appropriate. These provisions do not remove a remedy for nonperformance.
8. Review and corrections
Review the deliverable against the accepted scope promptly after receipt. Identify a material error or omission with enough detail to understand the concern. We should assess whether the issue is a correction within the original scope, an incomplete item, a clarification, or a new request.
A revision is not unlimited additional research. New audiences, extra channels, a larger assortment, a changed question, and implementation requests can alter the scope and fee. Any additional charge must be agreed before that work is performed. Review expectations do not create an unreasonably short forfeiture period or extinguish a nonwaivable right.
9. Implementation and client decisions
The starting catalog focuses on research and strategy. Website development, advertising operations, catalog maintenance, content production, procurement, platform migration, and ongoing management are outside a scope unless expressly included. Recommendations may identify work for the client or another supplier without making Brentorin Chapter responsible for that supplier’s performance.
You control the decision to implement a recommendation and are responsible for your business’s operations and legal obligations. The deliverable should state material assumptions and limitations. It does not guarantee a commercial result or provide regulated legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice.
10. Monthly delivery and contact
The starting monthly advisory scope includes one focused intelligence briefing, one scheduled strategy discussion of up to 60 minutes, and written priorities or decision notes. The monthly topic, dates, access, and service period are agreed in writing. Work outside that defined cycle requires agreement rather than an assumption of unlimited availability.
Use direct correspondence for delivery questions, scheduling changes, corrections, and formal notices. The public form prepares a local brief only. The service and price schedule below provides the published starting point, including planning estimates; the accepted engagement remains the reference for its actual delivery obligations.
Published service prices
These are starting prices for the scopes in the service catalog, in U.S. dollars. Final scope, applicable taxes, approved expenses, payment timing, and delivery dates are confirmed in writing before an engagement begins. The monthly advisory fee is a monthly starting price; all other listed starting fees are for one-time engagements.
