No fee until we deliver.

Transform spans energy, strategy, and infrastructure. We get into your portfolio, contracts, and operational data and turn stones over wherever there's potential value — leaking spend, mispriced contracts, infrastructure inefficiencies, or strategic opportunities others have missed.

Because we're operating no-win-no-fee, the depth in any single area depends on how quickly we reach verification or hit a dead end. The scope flexes with what we find rather than committing to a fixed list of deliverables upfront.

We invest our time and expertise upfront. Our fee is a share of the quantified, verified savings or gains delivered against an agreed baseline, with the exact terms confirmed in your Letter of Engagement.

Fees are only payable on realised outcomes, not projections. If we don't deliver value against the baseline, you owe us nothing.

Before any work begins, both parties agree and sign off a documented baseline — current cost position, energy spend, contractual commitments, and relevant performance metrics. That baseline is the sole reference point for measuring outcomes.

Savings and gains are measured using an agreed methodology — typically like-for-like cost comparison, market-adjusted benchmarking, and operational performance metrics. Either party may challenge calculations, and disputed outcomes can be referred to an independent auditor by mutual agreement.

Every Transform engagement is led by a founding partner with full accountability for outcomes. The partner remains your primary contact throughout — no mid-project handoffs to junior staff.

Supporting team members are assigned where required and are subject to Block One's vetting process.

Either party may terminate with 30 days' written notice. Termination doesn't affect fees already earned on delivered outcomes, and our standard non-circumvention provisions apply — if recommendations made by Block One are subsequently implemented after termination, the applicable success fee remains payable on those outcomes.

All client-specific outputs — PDF reports, Excel models, written analysis and other deliverables produced for the engagement — are owned by the Client once the relevant fees are settled, and can be shared as the Client sees fit.

This does not extend to interactive visualisations or working environments developed inside third-party AI tools (such as Claude, ChatGPT or equivalent), which sit on platforms we do not own and cannot hand over. Where these are used during the engagement, the underlying analysis is exported into Client-owned formats so the substance always travels with the Client.

Block One retains ownership of its underlying methodologies, frameworks, and technology platforms.
