Make, Buy or Partner Economics System

Outcome: The company selects a delivery model through comparable whole-life economics, strategic control, capability, dependency and reversibility evidence.

Who this is for: CEO, CFO, COO, product leader or technology leader facing a material capability decision with advocates using incompatible assumptions.

Capital allocation and investment governance

Buy as much help as the problem deserves.

Each depth is complete in itself: you can stop after any of them and still have your money's worth.

Depth 1

The answer

OctaFlow defines the required capability and tests build, buy and partner options across lifetime cost, time, capacity, service risk, knowledge retention, provider dependence and exit conditions. The customer receives a comparison, assumptions, sensitivities, preferred route, conditions that would change it and an execution plan. Legal terms and regulated advice are excluded.

Finished when your team can carry out the plan without us.

Depth 2

The working method

OctaFlow installs a reusable product containing a requirement brief, option model, cost taxonomy, dependency map, control criteria, evidence register, approval record and review triggers. A live decision is completed.

Finished when your team runs it on real cases and it holds.

Depth 3

The full system

OctaFlow connects approved finance, resource, procurement, service and provider information to support repeated decisions. It preserves estimates versus outcomes, monitors dependencies and provides evidence for later renewal, insourcing or exit choices.

Finished when it works under real conditions we agreed in advance.

$40,000A 25% deposit commences the work. The remaining 75% is payable on completion.

A person reads every order before work starts. If it is the wrong fit, we say so and refund it. Prices are in USD and Octaflow adds no VAT or sales tax.

Proof and ownership

The answer passes when the three routes are comparable and a conditional decision is reached. The working method passes when the customer runs a new option through the installed method. The full system passes when realised cost and performance update future assumptions and trigger an owned decision.

Commercial terms: Prices are in USD. OctaFlow adds no VAT, sales tax or other transaction tax. For any selected depth priced above $10,000, a 25% deposit is payable to commence and the remaining 75% is payable when the work is completed.

Standard exclusions: Travel, software licences, hosting, third-party data, external regulated opinions, major migration, custom applications and 24/7 support unless separately agreed.

Your business should get smarter every time it solves a problem. Even when we helped.

Five terms sit in every engagement, agreed before work starts. None of them can be traded out, at any depth, at any price.
