NO BORDERS FOUNDER / DECISION OFFICE

ENGAGEMENTS & FEES

Four engagements. The right scope for your decision.

Not every international question requires a complete architecture. Every engagement does require a clear scope, a written deliverable, and clear lines of responsibility. We select the engagement according to the number and interdependence of the decisions—not the highest fee.

01—04DECISION LOAD → ENGAGEMENT
  1. 01One decision

THE WRITTEN RESULT

Clarity becomes a written decision record.

Each level concludes with a different written result. The client, No Borders Founder, and external professionals can therefore work from the same documented fact base.

01

8–12-page Decision Note

At the end, you know which route we recommend, which alternative remains realistic, which requirements are still unmet, and what can be commissioned next.

02

15–20-page memorandum

You see which combination is viable, which variants should be excluded, and in what sequence the two decisions should be made.

03

25–40-page blueprint covering decision and implementation architecture

You see the target structure as one connected system: what remains, what changes, which route is prioritized, which professional review is still required, and how implementation can be controlled.

04

Coordinated implementation plan

You retain a decision center: one shared fact pattern, clear responsibilities, documented approvals, and transparent visibility over progress, blockers, and next steps.

04

FEES AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Govern connected work. Keep professional roles separate.

NO BORDERS FOUNDER

Decision architecture

We structure the overall question, consolidate the fact pattern, document the tradeoffs, and coordinate the agreed interfaces.

REGULATED PROFESSIONALS

Independent professional accountability

Lawyers, tax advisors, banks, and other regulated specialists remain responsible for their own advice and decisions. Their services are commissioned separately.

EXTERNAL COSTS

Visible before commitment

Government charges, bank fees, provider services, transaction costs, and other external costs are itemized where material. Any potential third-party compensation is disclosed.

Published engagement fees are stated before applicable taxes. The binding engagement agreement—not this overview—defines the individual scope. No engagement or coordination assignment guarantees approval, account opening, a tax outcome, product performance, or processing time.

05

FROM INQUIRY TO RESULT

The relationship begins with a clear scope.

  1. 01

    Engagement fit

    The decision, participants, jurisdictions, and intended result are assessed without collecting unnecessary sensitive data.

  2. 02

    Written scope

    The engagement, boundaries, deliverable, fee, external costs, and roles are agreed before work begins.

  3. 03

    Shared fact base

    Facts, documents, assumptions, and outstanding professional reviews are maintained in one consistent working record.

  4. 04

    Decision and handoff

    You receive the agreed document, a findings review, and a clearly scoped next step.

06

QUESTIONS BEFORE ENGAGING US

What to know before an engagement.

01How is the appropriate engagement selected?

The choice depends on the number and interdependence of decisions, material jurisdictions, required written output, and implementation readiness. We recommend the smallest scope capable of producing a defensible decision.

02Are implementation and external professional advice included in the fee?

No. Legal, tax, investment, and other regulated professional work, provider services, government charges, bank fees, and implementation are commissioned and itemized separately.

03Can Coordinated Implementation begin without a prior review?

Only when a defensible, approved architecture already exists. Otherwise, there is no reliable basis for work packages, accountability, or approval points.

04What happens if the scope expands during the engagement?

Additional work does not begin automatically. New questions, jurisdictions, or dependencies are identified and scoped and quoted in writing before work continues.

05Are all engagement inquiries accepted?

No. The engagement-fit review considers suitability, role, potential conflicts, the available fact base, and an appropriate initial engagement scope. It does not mean that No Borders Founder will accept the engagement.

NEXT STEP

Not the largest engagement. The right engagement.

The engagement-fit review assesses role, complexity, and an appropriate initial engagement scope. It is not free individual advice and does not mean that No Borders Founder will accept the engagement.
