XONIK works with organizations through structured engagement models designed to support evaluation, decision-making, and enterprise-scale execution.
This page outlines how we engage, when paid work applies, and how organizations typically progress from initial discussions to deeper collaboration.
How We Engage
Engagements with XONIK are designed to be clear, scoped, and outcome-driven.
Not every conversation leads to a paid engagement, and not every paid engagement leads to a long-term agreement. The appropriate model depends on your objectives, level of readiness, and the depth of work required.
Organizations may enter at different stages based on their needs.
Engagement Pathways
Most organizations engage with XONIK through one or more of the following models.
Strategy Briefing (Complimentary)
Purpose
To establish alignment and understand context at a high level.
When Used
- Early-stage exploration
- Strategic alignment discussions
- Determining whether deeper engagement is appropriate
Characteristics
- Complimentary and no-obligation
- Consultative and senior-led
- Time-bound (typically 30–45 minutes)
- No deliverables or implementation
This engagement is intended to assess alignment, not to replace formal advisory or consulting work.

Enterprise Sales Evaluation
Purpose
To evaluate commercial, technical, and operational fit for enterprise adoption.
When Used
- Defined requirements or use cases
- Procurement, security, or compliance considerations
- Deployment or integration planning
Characteristics
- Commercial and technical evaluation
- No pricing published
- May result in a proposal for a paid engagement
- No work begins without mutual agreement
This stage helps determine whether a paid engagement is required and which model is most appropriate.

Paid Engagements
Paid engagements are introduced when work requires deeper analysis, validation, or execution support beyond evaluation.
All paid engagements are scoped prior to pricing and governed through formal agreements.

How Pricing Works
XONIK does not publish pricing publicly.
All paid engagements are:
- Scoped before pricing
- Priced based on scope, duration, complexity, and expertise required
- Confirmed through a formal proposal
No paid work begins without mutual agreement on scope, deliverables, and commercial terms.
How Engagement Models Fit Together
A typical engagement progression may look like:
- Strategy Briefing (optional)
- Enterprise Sales Evaluation
- Paid Engagement (assessment, PoC, or advisory)
- Enterprise Agreement (if applicable)
Organizations may enter at different stages depending on readiness and requirements.
What Our Engagement Models Are — and Are Not
They are:
- Structured and governed
- Outcome-oriented
- Designed for enterprise environments
They are not:
- Open-ended consulting
- Free advisory beyond initial briefing
- Product demos in disguise
- Guarantees of future contracts
Governance & Confidentiality
All engagements operate under:
- Mutual confidentiality
- Defined scope and responsibilities
- Clear ownership and governance
This ensures professional execution and protects both XONIK and its clients.
