Flexible ways to work together, wherever you're starting from
Every engagement is scoped to the work, not squeezed into a fixed package. Here's how we typically structure things — and how to figure out which fits.
Discovery & Advisory
A focused engagement to assess your current systems, identify risk, and produce a clear technical roadmap — often the first step before a larger build.
Ideal for
- You're not sure what needs to be built yet
- Evaluating a vendor or legacy system before committing further
- Need an independent technical opinion before a board or ownership decision
Project-Based (Fixed Scope)
A defined set of deliverables against a fixed timeline and budget — the right fit when the scope is well understood, like building a new platform or migrating a system.
Ideal for
- A clearly scoped build, like a new ticketing platform or data pipeline
- You need budget certainty before starting
- A hard deadline, like a season or event start date
Staff Augmentation
PlayVision engineers, analysts, or designers embed directly into your team, working your processes and tools to fill a capability or capacity gap.
Ideal for
- You have the roadmap but need more hands to execute it
- Filling a specialized skill gap (e.g. sports data engineering) your team doesn't have in-house
- Scaling a team up or down around seasonal workload
Retainer / Ongoing Partnership
A standing monthly engagement for continuous support, gameday on-call coverage, and iterative feature work — the model most of our longest client relationships run on.
Ideal for
- Systems already in production that need ongoing care
- Gameday or event-day on-call support
- A backlog of smaller improvements without a single large project
Most engagements start with a conversation, not a contract
Tell us what you're trying to accomplish and where you're starting from — we'll recommend the model that fits, and we're always upfront if a smaller engagement is the right call before a bigger one.
