SAMPLE CLIENT
TIMELINE.
Every project CSG takes on moves through the same five stages, from the first phone call to a finished deliverable. Scroll to walk through one, start to finish.
THE ASK
COMES IN.
Every engagement opens with an intake call. Client Engagement listens first: what the client needs, the timeline, and what success actually looks like, before anyone gets staffed on anything.
We need help tracking a state bill before the next session.
Understood. We'll scope it and have you staffed by Friday.
THE RIGHT
MAJORS GET STAFFED.
Every project draws from some mix of CSG's four disciplines: politics and public policy for the legislative work, business and economics for the numbers, information systems for the infrastructure, and computer science for the modeling. Operations staffs based on what the project needs, not who's available.
STUDENTS BUILD
THE MODEL.
For campaigns, this is where students from Computer Science and the data team build the propensity and targeting models, the same mechanic behind the interactive model on CSG's Data & Analytics page. For startups, this is where multi-state regulatory requirements get mapped before a market expansion.

THE NUMBERS
GET SET.
Business and Economics prices the engagement: budget models for campaigns, cost-per-vote and SROI math for causes and nonprofits, and a clear scope for what the work costs and what it delivers.
Sample Budget Allocation
ONE HANDOFF,
ONE CONTACT.
Clients see the work twice before it closes: a mid-engagement presentation to check direction, and a final presentation of the finished deliverable. Everything comes back through a single named point of contact, on the cadence set at kickoff. The same person who scoped the project is who a client reaches with questions after it's done.
