After November: what Signalform does next
Date

Signalform sits with the people doing the work, maps how it really runs, and builds the system around that: who decides, where the sources live, how a request becomes a finished, approved piece.

  1. 01Field DesignMap how the work runs. A few weeks.$15,000 to $20,000
  2. 02DeploymentBuild the system inside the real work. Twelve weeks.$75,000 · FSI: $55,000
  3. 03StewardshipKeep it running while you use it. 90-day terms.$6,000 to $10,000 a month

Each phase ends in a decision, and FSI makes it. When the season closes, the next one starts with a new Field Design.

Since April, Signalform has built FSI’s website, brand system, paper sites and films with Susan. Much of the groundwork for a Field Design is already done.

Conversations with Susan, Ike and the people at the centre of the work. A map of the programs, decisions, sources, approvals and rhythms. FSI keeps the map, a first working piece and a plan for the next stage.

Built on infrastructure FSI controls, connected to the sources that matter, with the people who run it trained and everything documented. Twelve weeks.

System health, a regular review, small changes and support, in 90-day terms. New capabilities are scoped and priced separately.

  • OWNFSI’s. Its brand, content and records, as plain files it can take anywhere.
  • TOOLSSignalform’s tools, licensed to FSI permanently, at no cost.
  • HISTORYEvery change is recorded. Who changed what, and when.

One conversation to choose the first part of FSI’s work to map.
