Engagements

How you can work with NullorNaN Systems.

How engagements are structured

Engagements are intentionally selective. The practice maintains a limited concurrent client load so each relationship gets principal depth.

NaN Connects — Complimentary introductory conversations to explore fit, urgency, and whether an engagement makes sense—before any commercial commitment. Start with NaN Connects.

Ongoing advisory, consulting, partnerships, and collaborations require a mutually executed written agreement defining scope, deliverables, and commercial terms.

Custom engagement structures are available, including hourly, fixed scope, retainers, equity, equity-plus-retainer, and other mutually agreed commercial arrangements.

Engagements run through NullorNaN Systems, alongside Matt McGowan's operating role at OUR+'R Technologies, Inc.—not as OUR+'R corporate work and not staff augmentation.
