The comparison
One commercial brain across 14 capabilities the market keeps apart
From each one you need a slice. The minimum budget you pay in full.
To assemble the catalogue above from the market, a company opens a conversation with each of the following suppliers, separately. The figures are the minimum budget each asks for to begin, declared on their own profile.
The figures in the price column are our estimate of the normal cost in the Romanian market, at serious-agency level. They are not quotes we received and not prices published by anyone in particular. The verifiable anchors behind them: the €92 to €137 hourly rate publicly declared by first-tier Romanian agencies and their minimum project budgets, between €4,600 and €46,000.
Want to see whether VANGUARD™ is the right fit for you?
The first step is a short conversation where we look at where you are now and the position you want to build.
