How the free fit evaluation works
Author: SPNORTH editorial · Expert review: Legal review (communication) · published 2026-09-16 · updated 2026-09-16
The free fit evaluation is a 10–15 minute, no-obligation conversation with a human. We assess the problem and trigger, whether SPNORTH credibly fits, the responsible owner, urgency and the most proportionate next step.
Clear boundaries
It is not free consulting: architecture, detailed recommendations, requirements/backlog creation, regulatory interpretation, estimates, proposal/SOW, solution design and written deliverables are excluded.
Five exit states
- No fit – stated respectfully.
- Transparent referral where appropriate and consented.
- A relevant ungated public resource.
- A recommendation for a paid diagnostic.
- Scoped follow-up when more qualification is needed.
Scope and commercial terms are defined after the fit evaluation and, where appropriate, a paid diagnostic.
