Tell us about the project. A principal replies within two business days.
First consultations are free, confidential and candid, including “you don’t need us for this.” You do not need a brief, a deck or a decision. Tell us what you are about to commit to and what you are unsure of; two sentences is enough to start.

A principal will reply within two business days. If it can’t wait, call (910) 431-8280.
Two conversations to a straight answer.
The first conversation defines the question, often more narrowly than it arrived. The second sets the study: scope, method, the date the written finding is due, and the fee. If the question does not warrant our involvement, we say so in the first conversation, at no cost. Most relationships start with a bounded feasibility study, and some correctly end there.
Confidential from the first message.
Projects run under code names. Inquiries to states, utilities, owners and counterparties are made in our name, not yours, until you choose to be disclosed, and client identities are published only with written permission. If you would rather not put project details in writing at all, tick the code-named intake box and a principal will call you to take the details by phone. A non-disclosure agreement is available on request before any detail is shared.
Inquiries about defense services should come from the contracting authority or the prime contractor; eligibility is confirmed before any mission detail is discussed.
Or reach a principal directly.
