Our Process

  1. Contact us

    Get in touch to let us know you’re interested in setting up a call. Please share as much detail about your challenge as feasible. We will be in touch within 24 hours to coordinate a meeting, and to ask any preliminary questions we may have.

  2. Intro call

    A quick call is the easiest way to figure out if we’re the right team to help. We’ll learn about what you’re working on, and answer any questions you have about LeafLabs.

  3. Scoping

    We will work together with you and your key stakeholders to develop a plan to solve your challenges. This could include proposed approaches and timelines so we’re all on the same page.

  4. Agreements

    Finalize all of the necessary contracts needed to get started. This includes a Master Services Agreement and a Statement of Work.

  5. Let’s get started

    Our program team will coordinate a kick off call with all key stakeholders to set the tone, align on immediate objectives and ensure the Leaf team can get off to the races.
