The hours

What the work involved

01
Effort parameters
Sites, radio and core technologies, device count, activities in scope, SLA level — with the weight of each from programmes the expert had architected.
02
Complexity bands
Low, medium and high defined on those parameters, with representative effort per band.
03
Pricing models
Per site, per device, per user, fixed with variable — with where each is used and the risks in each.
04
Cross-check and session
A former head of large-deal solutioning for infrastructure and telecom checked the bands; one working session with the client.
