Engagement Calculator

Scope an engagement.

Four questions. Tells you what a real OCEANS engagement would look like — duration, team composition, first deliverables, and how the first 90 days run. Honest ranges, not sales math.

01 What kind of engagement?

Requirements Development Translate mission needs into structured, testable requirements. Systems Engineering Architecture, integration, lifecycle cyber across subsystems. RDT&E Research, development, operational test & evaluation. Mission Data Ontology, schema, Common Operating Picture, data products.

02 What's the scope?

Single capability One subsystem, sensor class, or mission thread. Multi-capability A coordinated set across two or more subsystems. Program-wide Full program-of-record across organizations.

03 What stage are you in?

Pre-RFP Concept refinement, gap analysis, draft strategy. Active acquisition RFP awarded, milestones approaching, deliverables in flight. Sustainment Fielded capability, block upgrades, refresh planning. Re-baseline Off-schedule, off-cost, or off-spec — needs a reset.

04 What's the posture?

Standard pace Disciplined cadence, full methodology, deep documentation. Accelerated Compressed milestones; selective depth on critical paths. Surge (90-day) Short intervention to unblock a specific decision.

Make four selections above.

As you pick options, we'll show what the engagement actually looks like — duration, team, deliverables. Nothing is sent anywhere until you decide to start a conversation.

Ranges and team compositions reflect typical OCEANS engagements with similar characteristics. Your actual scope will depend on validated requirements, contract vehicle, security posture, and the specific stakeholders involved.
