Choose technology
for a reason.

Main Sequence brings 25 years of experience in technology, consulting and commercialization. We look at the process, people and full cost before recommending a solution.

Before we talk

A few useful answers.

Understand the commitment before you make one.

Is the first call free?

Yes. The introductory call is complimentary and lasts 30 minutes. We discuss the problem, what you have tried and whether there is a useful next step. You are not committing to paid work.

How do you charge?

Business & AI Reviews and training use a fixed fee for an agreed scope. Applications and automation are quoted as defined projects with milestones. Ongoing Technology Partnerships use a monthly retainer. You receive the fee and terms in writing before paid work starts.

Do we have to start with a review?

No. If you have a clear brief, we can move straight to a project proposal or training plan. A paid review is useful when the problem, options or business case need more investigation.

What does a monthly retainer include?

We agree on the advisory or delivery capacity, priorities, meeting cadence and response arrangements. Technical maintenance, hosting and third-party services are identified explicitly. The agreement sets the minimum term, notice period and how additional work is priced. It is not unlimited development or 24-hour support.

A straightforward place to start
