We install systems, methods, and governance within your organization. Instead of delivering decks, we build routines and artefacts that your team can use directly."},"item-1":{"faq_q":"How does your pricing model work?","faq_a":"We operate on a shared-risk model rather than traditional invoicing. We align our strategies to reach a common goal in exchange for equity. Recurring contracts are only established once Milestone 1 is successfully achieved. Since every project is unique, get in touch to discuss a structure tailored to your needs."},"item-2":{"faq_q":"Can project work be structured partially against equity?","faq_a":"Yes, this is our primary business model. We move beyond the traditional client-provider relationship to become active partners. We invest our operational resources and expertise in exchange for equity, ensuring complete alignment: we focus entirely on increasing the company's value because we share in the risks and the rewards."},"item-3":{"faq_q":"Who retains ownership of deliverables and data?","faq_a":"The business entity (your company) retains full ownership of all specific assets created (websites, code, proprietary strategies). Since Innovacore holds an equity position, our interest is to maximize the asset value of the company itself. We grow when your company owns strong, valuable IP."},"item-4":{"faq_q":"How long does a typical Finance Challenge engagement take?","faq_a":"A diagnostic typically runs one to two weeks; full installation sprints average six to ten weeks depending on complexity. Ongoing run or transfer phases extend as needed under structured cadence and review cycles."},"item-5":{"faq_q":"Can Innovacore integrate with my existing team and systems?","faq_a":"Yes. The CORE model is designed to work inside existing structures. We map your finance stack, connect to current tools, and adapt reporting cadence to your management rhythm\u2014ensuring minimal disruption."},"item-6":{"faq_q":"Is my financial information confidential?","faq_a":"Absolutely. Confidentiality agreements are executed before any data exchange. Access rights are restricted to relevant operators only, and all documentation follows strict record\u2011keeping and data protection practices."},"item-7":{"faq_q":"What happens after the initial diagnosis call?","faq_a":"You receive a summary with identified issues, preliminary recommendations, and phase outline. If alignment exists, we formalize a proposal specifying scope, deliverables, fees, and optional equity discussion before engagement."}}},"pt":[69],"class_list":["post-2791","challenge","type-challenge","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","pt-sub"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.innovacore.group\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/challenge\/2791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.innovacore.group\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/challenge"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.innovacore.group\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/challenge"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/test.innovacore.group\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/challenge\/2791\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3180,"href":"https:\/\/test.innovacore.group\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/challenge\/2791\/revisions\/3180"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.innovacore.group\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.innovacore.group\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pt","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.innovacore.group\/pt-pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pt?post=2791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
