Choose the smallest engagement that can resolve the next material uncertainty, then set a decision gate before committing to a larger build. For product delivery, define user outcomes, platform scope, architecture, data access, accessibility, security, analytics and operating ownership. Ask for a named cross-functional team and clarify the client roles required to unblock it. Published indicative engagement lengths are not prices or delivery guarantees; obtain a scope-specific proposal.
Product discovery and strategy
The Discover offer includes market research, stakeholder interviews, co-creation, user research, concept testing and technical considerations. Require a decision brief that states what evidence would justify proceeding, changing direction or stopping.
The Shape model uses hypotheses, rapid prototypes, data collection and iterative refinement to pilot products, services and brands. Buyers should agree the target users, test environment, success thresholds and constraints a prototype is not expected to solve.
The Boost offer adds design and development capacity to existing solutions and teams. Define the roles being supplemented, expected knowledge transfer, management responsibility and how dependency on the embedded team will reduce over time.
Published work: National Grid: customer digital experience
ustwo's case study describes an integrated squad contributing research, product design and front-end development to National Grid's web and app programme in the United States. Work included redesigning billing and usage information, supporting a phased rollout and collaborating with client engineering teams. The agency reports reductions in incident tickets and increases in online payments and energy-tool engagement; those figures remain agency-published.
Published by the agency. Results have not been independently verified.
Fit and limitations
ustwo's published model covers discovery through scale, but a future engagement may not include every layer of engineering, platform migration or ongoing operation. Selected case outcomes are agency-reported and depend on broader client programmes. Embedded delivery requires sufficient internal product and technical ownership.
Pricing and engagement
No verified retainer or rate is recorded in this profile. Ask for a scope-specific quote, including the billing currency, taxes, media spend, production costs and any local delivery partners.
Agree the named team, approval responsibilities, reporting timetable, usage rights and handover before commissioning work. These are procurement considerations, not confirmed contract terms.
