At Tripodi Quality Consulting, we value our time and yours.
Price Transparency
We publish our current rates so you can determine if we fit within your budget before reaching out. Rates are accurate through the end of 2024 and are evaluated annually.
Due to our commitment to price transparency, we typically do not accept contracts through third parties. We are open to working with third parties provided the following criteria can be agreed upon:
- Client pays rate published by Tripodi Quality Consulting.
- Third party fee negotiated with Tripodi Quality Consulting.
Efficiency
We do not accept standard 40 hr/wk staff augmentation contracts. Given our experience in the industry, we know that high performers can accomplish a standard “40 hours” of work in a fraction of that time. We aim for part-time contracts anywhere from 10-30 hr/wk depending on our client’s needs and our contractor’s availability.
