Risk reversal · what if this doesn’t work

Three guarantees that move the risk off your desk.

Most consulting engagements price the risk into your contract. Here it’s priced out. Outcomes locked. Refund on miss. Cancel on notice. Standard MSA — no negotiation theatre.

Guarantee

50% refund · outcomes-missed clause

If the outcomes defined at kickoff are not delivered, 50% of the engagement fee is refunded. No legal back-and-forth, no escalation matrix. One-line MSA addendum, signed before scoping call.

Guarantee

Outcomes locked before kickoff

Every engagement starts with a written scope: deliverables, success metrics, turnaround, owner. You sign it before any payment. Scope changes mid-engagement = your call, not a re-quote.

Guarantee

Pause or cancel · 30-day notice

Retainer is a fractional commitment, not a lock-in. Cancel with 30-day notice — no exit fee, no clawback on prior deliverables. Frameworks shipped during the engagement remain your IP.

Why this is unusual

Most India advisory engagements use NDAs to shield the consultant. AWP’s MSA shields you.

Procurement-ready · 8 compliance checks

Eight boxes your CFO and legal counsel tick before signing.

Procurement profile published up-front. No surprises in the MSA. No quote-on-application. No vendor onboarding theatre.
