Breaking the Black Box of Consulting
At Nir-Yu, we believe the traditional consulting model is fundamentally broken. The industry standard of obscured pricing, vague deliverables, and misaligned incentives creates friction rather than value. Our approach is different by design.
The Cost-Plus Model:
Simple, Fair, Aligned
Our pricing philosophy is built on transparency and fairness:
How It Works
- Reasonable Margin: We add our transparent fee – Not a percentage of the wages, but a flat fee. You will always know what fair wage is being paid and how much we make
- Clear Cost Structure: We pass on our actual wage cost, no secrets… full transparency so that you and the talent are aligned
- No Hidden Fees: What you see is what you pay—no surprise charges, scope creep, or bait-and-switch tactics
Why This Matters
- Budget Certainty: No mid-project surprises or scope manipulation to extract more fees.
- True Partnership: Our success is tied to your outcomes, not to maximizing billable hours.
- Resource Optimization: You pay for value delivered, not consultant prestige or artificial scarcity.
Transparency Beyond Pricing
Our commitment to transparency extends throughout our relationship:
- Open Access to Tools & Methods: We share our frameworks, not hide them behind proprietary walls
- Honest Progress Reporting: Regular, candid assessments of what’s working and what needs adjustment
- Capability Building: We strengthen your team’s skills and independence rather than creating dependency
At Nir-Yu, we believe the traditional consulting model is fundamentally broken. The industry follows what we call the "TOXIC" approach:
T
Transactional Recruiting – Using generic talent pools instead of specialized recruiting, treating people as interchangeable resources
O
Obscured Pricing Models – Hiding markup percentages and using price arbitrage to maximize profits at client expense
X
Xeroxed Talent Approach – One-size-fits-all resources pulled from the bench regardless of specific client needs
I
Inadequate Integration Support – Minimal onboarding and team integration, leaving clients to manage the heavy lifting
C
Cost-Driven Decision Making – Prioritizing margins over quality and fit, optimizing for short-term profits
