2. Day and time

Example slots for the preview; a real site shows live availability.

3. Your details

This is a preview. No request has been sent.

Written scope first

Every engagement starts with a one-page scope: objective, deliverables, who does what, dates, fee. Nothing starts before it is signed.

One named lead

You work with the person who wrote the scope, from kickoff to the final review. No handoffs to a junior team.

A finish date

Advisory should end. Each engagement has a close-out meeting, a written summary, and no automatic renewal.

About this concept

Service clarity for an advisory practice: what each service includes, what it does not, and how a consultation is booked.

Concept design — self-initiated. Northline Counsel is fictional; no client relationship, results, qualifications, or availability are implied. Built with the working interaction described, so you can try it rather than look at a screenshot.
