How we work
Fixed-price milestones. Named senior engineers, embedded.
Every Damgaard Solutions engagement is built around signed, GMP-compliant deliverables and priced per milestone. You see the named CV of your specialist before anyone sets foot in your facility.
That is what makes fixed-price contracting possible in regulated manufacturing.
The three rules of every engagement
What you are buying, before any work begins.
Scope, price, and acceptance criteria are agreed up front. Your QA, validation, and finance teams see the same document. No retainers. No time-and-materials drift. No invoices that arrive before the conversation.
01
Milestone packages mapped to GMP deliverables
Every project breaks into discrete phases, each closing with a signed deliverable your QA and regulatory teams can accept. IQ complete. OQ complete. URS approved. You see what you are buying before work begins.
02
Fixed price per milestone, locked before we start
No time-and-materials surprises. We set the price at project outset and tie it to delivery of each signed milestone. If scope changes, we document it and tell you what it costs before the next invoice, not after.
03
Free conceptual brief before you commit
Not sure whether your challenge needs conceptual definition, engineering, or qualification? We listen, assess, and return a one-page diagnosis within 48 hours. No cost. No commitment. Just a clearer view of what is in front of you.
Engagement flow
How a Damgaard Solutions engagement begins.
Step 01
Free conceptual brief
Share your challenge on a 30-minute discovery call. Within 48 hours we return a one-page assessment: current state, the gap, our recommended route forward.
No cost.
Step 02
Paid meeting report
If the brief lands, we invest in scoping. We document milestones, acceptance criteria, and fixed pricing into a meeting report you can take to finance and QA before any project contract is signed.
The meeting report is free in most cases. When your challenge requires outsourced inputs (such as simulation, specialist modeling, or third-party assessments), we quote the outsourced work transparently before we start.
Step 03
Project contract
Milestones confirmed, acceptance criteria approved, fixed pricing locked. You pay per milestone on delivery of each documented deliverable, not per hour.
We adapt to your project management style: fixed-date milestones in a waterfall approach, or dynamic milestones in an agile approach where we adjust the delivery timeline together when project evolution requires it. Either way, every change is documented and confirmed before it affects cost.
Scope creep and cost overruns in pharma projects trace back to engineers learning on your time. Damgaard Solutions does not staff that way.
Named senior specialists deliver every engagement. You meet them by CV before the engagement starts: practitioners who have run the same scope on regulated manufacturing sites and know what your QA, validation, and engineering teams need to see at every milestone.
When project team members on your side change in the middle of projects, we onboard them through a workshop so the project keeps moving.
You know exactly who is coming before anyone sets foot in your facility.
That is what makes fixed-price milestone contracting work in regulated manufacturing, and what lets your QA team, your project lead, and your finance team all sleep at night.
