Common questions
Clarify the service before the first call.
The exact scope follows discovery. These are the questions that usually need an early answer.
What does the first conversation cover?+
The current situation, the outcome you need, the systems or evidence in scope, the decision owner and any deadline or assurance requirement.
Can Sudo work with our internal team or existing suppliers?+
Yes. We make responsibilities, access, handoffs and retained ownership explicit rather than assuming a replacement model.
What happens after the assessment or delivery work?+
We agree whether the result is handed to your team, supports a defined remediation project or moves into a separately scoped ongoing service.
