The assignment journey

From the first conversation.
To delivery and the next step.

Every requirement is different, but the approach
stays clear: understand the need, organise suitable
support, agree the work and review what is delivered.

  1. 01

    Understand the Need

    Tell us what your business needs to address.
    We discuss the situation, priorities, available
    information and expected outcome to establish
    where support could be useful.

    Starting point:
    the problem, its business context and
    what a useful result would look like.

  2. 02

    Identify Suitable Expertise

    FairStake identifies the capabilities needed
    for the requirement. This may involve one
    professional or several specialists, working
    alongside your existing team where appropriate.

    The right fit:
    relevant experience, availability and
    clearly understood contributions.

  3. 03

    Agree Scope & Fees

    FairStake agrees the work with you before
    delivery begins. Define the deliverables,
    responsibilities, timelines, client fees
    and information or decisions needed from
    the business.

    Clear agreement:
    what is included, who does what,
    when it is due and the payment terms.

  4. 04

    Coordinate Delivery

    The agreed contributors carry out their tasks.
    FairStake coordinates communication and
    dependencies, tracks progress and brings
    questions, risks or required decisions
    to the relevant people.

    During delivery:
    clear communication, timely inputs
    and attention to agreed responsibilities.

  5. 05

    Review the Work

    Review the outputs against the agreed scope
    and expectations. Discuss clarifications,
    outstanding items and any follow-up needed
    to bring the assignment to its agreed
    completion point.

    At review:
    what has been delivered and what
    remains to be addressed within the scope.

  6. 06

    Agree Next Steps

    Confirm completion and discuss any further
    requirement. Additional work or continuing
    support is considered separately, with
    its scope, responsibilities and commercial
    terms agreed before proceeding.

    Moving forward:
    a clear close, a practical handover
    or a separately agreed next engagement.

Start with one business priority or combine support
across areas. The specific assignment determines
the people involved and the sequence of work.

Who contributes what

Different contributions.
Clear responsibilities.

The model brings together a business need,
professional expertise and FairStake’s coordination.
A referral partner may help initiate the connection.
Each role has its own agreed responsibilities.

  • 01

    The Business

    Explain the requirement and the outcome you
    are seeking. Provide agreed information,
    access and internal coordination. Review
    proposals and deliverables, and make the
    decisions needed to keep the work moving.

    Your ownership:
    business priorities, accurate inputs,
    timely decisions and agreed client commitments.

  • 02

    FairStake

    Understand the requirement and organise
    suitable expertise. Agree client scope
    and fees, clarify contributions and
    coordinate communication, progress
    and the review of the agreed work.

    Our ownership:
    assignment coordination, clear agreements
    and communication with the people involved.

  • 03

    The Professionals

    Apply relevant expertise and judgement
    to the tasks they accept. Deliver their
    agreed contribution, communicate progress
    and raise questions or risks promptly.
    Work constructively with the client team
    and other contributors.

    Their ownership:
    agreed specialist tasks, quality of contribution
    and accountability for their deliverables.

  • 04

    The Referral Partner

    Where a referral is involved, make a
    relevant introduction with permission.
    Share appropriate context and follow
    the agreed referral arrangement.
    An introduction does not automatically
    create an advisory or delivery role.

    Their ownership:
    a responsible introduction and the
    commitments agreed before the referral.

Not every assignment involves all four roles.
The requirement determines who participates,
and responsibilities are agreed before work begins.

Agreements and progress

Clarity before starting.
Visibility while progressing.

Clear agreements help everyone understand
the work and their commitments. Regular
communication keeps questions, decisions
and changes visible as the assignment progresses.

  • 01

    Deliverables & Timelines

    Define the outputs, scope boundaries
    and expected completion dates. Identify
    the information, access and decisions
    needed from the business, along with
    dependencies that could affect delivery.

    Agree upfront:
    what will be delivered, who contributes
    and the milestones used to review progress.

  • 02

    Fees & Payment Terms

    FairStake agrees client fees and payment
    arrangements with the business. Professional
    remuneration is agreed separately with
    participating professionals. Where a referral
    is involved, its terms are agreed before
    the introduction.

    Keep arrangements clear:
    calculation basis, payment conditions
    and timing for each applicable agreement.

  • 03

    Communication & Progress Reviews

    Identify the people responsible for
    coordination and agree how progress
    will be discussed. Share relevant updates,
    surface risks early and bring unresolved
    questions to the people able to decide.

    Stay connected:
    appropriate review points, clear action
    ownership and responsible information sharing.

  • 04

    Changes & Completion

    Discuss proposed changes before additional
    work begins. Agree their effect on scope,
    responsibilities, timelines and fees.
    At completion, review the outputs and
    confirm any outstanding items or handover
    requirements.

    Close with clarity:
    confirm what has been delivered and
    separately agree any further support.

This page explains the general approach.
The agreement for your assignment defines
the specific scope, responsibilities and commercial terms.

Know what to expect

Questions about How FairStake works ?

A few answers to help you understand the approach
before discussing your requirement.

Can I start with one specific requirement?

Yes. You can begin with one business need.
FairStake discusses the requirement and
identifies suitable support. Where several
areas overlap, their contributions can be
coordinated within an agreed scope.

Can you work with our existing team or advisers?

Yes. Where appropriate, FairStake can work
alongside your internal team, accountant,
advisers or service providers. Their roles,
information-sharing arrangements and review
responsibilities should be clarified
as part of the assignment.

How are professionals selected for the work?

FairStake considers the expertise and
experience relevant to the requirement,
together with availability and the
contribution needed. The assignment
may call for one specialist or several
people with complementary capabilities.

Who agrees the fees and payment arrangements?

FairStake agrees client scope, fees
and payment terms with the business.
Participating professionals agree their
remuneration separately with FairStake.
Any referral arrangement is also agreed
separately before the referral.

How will we know whether the work is progressing?

Agree appropriate milestones, review points
and communication arrangements before
delivery begins. Progress discussions should
cover completed work, outstanding actions,
risks and decisions needed from the
people involved.

What happens if the scope changes?

Discuss the proposed change with FairStake.
Its effect on deliverables, responsibilities,
timelines and fees should be agreed before
the additional work begins. A new requirement
does not automatically become part of
the existing assignment.

How is completion reviewed?

Review the deliverables against the agreed
scope and completion expectations. Discuss
any outstanding items, clarifications or
handover needs. Further work or continuing
support is agreed separately where needed.
