Advisory · Engagement terms
Stated openly.
Negotiable only on scope.
We do not price-discriminate based on who is asking. The terms below are the terms. The conversation is about scope, deliverable, and timeline — never about whether the fee is "really" negotiable.
Our datacenter engagements, in full.
- 01
Fixed fee scoped and quoted up front
Placement readiness pack
We verify and package a powered site so it is placeable: title and grid position confirmed, then an anonymized teaser built before any name goes out. You get a mandate-ready asset, not a maybe.
Suits: Site and capacity owners who want to go to market as a verified, placeable asset.
- 02
Fixed fee quoted after a short qualification, credited against the success fee
Sourcing mandate activation
For buyers who need capacity or sites sourced to a defined spec. We qualify the requirement first, then quote the activation fee — and credit it in full against the success fee on placement. We do not run open-ended sourcing on spec.
Suits: Buyers with a committed requirement who need us to source to their spec, not browse.
- 03
Commission per MW, paid by the offering party on a successful placement
Success fee on placement
The engine. When a placement closes, the offering party pays a commission per MW. No placement, no fee — which is why we only take mandates we believe will close.
Suits: Every engagement that ends in a signed placement. This is how the brokerage funds itself.
- 04
Project fee + milestone fee on a signed lease
Tenant acquisition
A targeted acquisition campaign for your site, billed as a fixed project fee with a milestone fee when a lease is signed. Scoped per campaign and quoted in the proposal.
Suits: Owners with validated demand who need tenants, not more reports.
Engagement terms are stated openly. We do not offer free assessments or unpaid consultations.
Engagement terms
Six things you'll always see in our proposal.
- Written scope. Phase-by-phase breakdown of deliverables and definition of done. Signed by both sides before work begins.
- Deposit. 50% of the first phase up-front against the fixed fee; refunded pro-rata if we discontinue early on our end.
- Fixed scope. The fee is tied to a written scope, not a meter. If the work grows, we re-scope and re-quote before anything new is done.
- No commission stacking. Where an advisory engagement could lead to a brokered placement, only one fee applies — usually whichever is lower for you.
- Conflict declaration. Any provider we have a referral relationship with is named in the proposal. You decide whether that disqualifies us.
- Right to disengage. Either side can end the engagement on 14 days notice. We bill only for phases delivered; we hand over working files in editable form.
Standard agreement template available on request — we are happy to send it before you ask for a proposal, so you know what you're signing.
