Products and pricing
Clear Position products are not open-ended support. Each product has a purpose, an output and a boundary — with deeper or retained support agreed only where the first stage justifies it.
Which product fits?
The first paid step should match the maturity of the issue. If the matter proves more serious, the next stage is scoped before deeper work begins.
Most relevant first steps
For residents, landowners, groups and affected stakeholders, these products provide a controlled route from first concern to deeper evidence work where a proposed or live development raises land-control, ecology, BNG, Section 106, boundary or planning-condition questions.
A focused first-stage review to identify what is happening, which documents matter, and what questions should be asked before your position hardens.
A structured early review for serious development pressure involving planning history, land-control assumptions, ecology/BNG and infrastructure concerns.
A deeper evidence and position pack where the issue may involve boundaries, ecological corridors, S106, planning conditions, mitigation, access or professional accountability.
Initial scoping for complex disputes requiring case architecture, evidence control, strategic positioning and mediation preparation.
For live development matters over several months: planning updates, evidence tracking, correspondence review, group coordination and adviser-preparation support.
If the initial product identifies serious value, Clear Position can progress into a larger evidence suite, counsel-preparation pack, group architecture system or monthly monitoring support. The next stage is always scoped before work continues.
Preparation before expensive professional time
This is the gap between a client who has lived the detail and a professional adviser who needs the case in a usable form. Clear Position does not replace legal advice; it helps clients use professional advice more effectively.
Chronology, issue map, evidence index, gaps, bundle logic and strategic questions for mediation or adviser review.
Prepare a client-facing brief, question set, chronology and document structure before solicitor, barrister, expert or mediator involvement.
For complex matters where timing, sequencing and document deployment may affect negotiation or mediation strategy.
Commercial / founder route
The RQG case study supports this pathway: complex technical or commercial thinking can be turned into governance, operating doctrine and a staged roadmap.
A focused first-stage review of a complex venture, opportunity, dispute, project or operating model.
Defines how a venture or project should be explained safely to advisers, partners, funders, staff or stakeholders.
Defines what the project is, what it is not, who controls what, what must be proven first and how growth should be governed.
A single source of truth for purpose, principles, boundaries, authority, escalation and external explanation.
A staged roadmap showing what should happen now, what should wait, and what must be proven before scaling.
A controlled explanation pack for discussions with advisers, partners, technical contributors, grant bodies or funders.
Monthly Commercial Clarity Partner — from £750/month. Ongoing structured support for founders, directors or senior teams dealing with complex projects, documents, stakeholder communication, adviser preparation and decision discipline. Scope and monthly cap are agreed before support begins.
Ongoing support after the first product
Many development, planning, land, group and commercial matters do not end after one review. If a diagnostic or position pack shows that a live issue needs continued attention, ongoing support can be agreed separately with a clear scope, cap and review point.
Suitable where the matter is active but controlled: planning portal checks, document updates, issue tracking and monthly review.
Suitable where correspondence, group coordination, adviser preparation, evidence updates or tactical decisions are ongoing.
Used where ad hoc support is more appropriate than a monthly arrangement. This is normally reserved for agreed ongoing support, urgent document work or defined extra tasks after scope is clear.
For complex development, land, planning or evidence matters where seeing the site or physical context may add value. Any fixed scoping fee, travel time, travel costs and preparation time are agreed before travel.
Professional boundary
Clear Position helps clients organise complex documents, build chronologies, map issues, compare plans, structure evidence and prepare clearer material for appropriate professionals. We do not replace solicitors, barristers, planners, ecologists, surveyors or other regulated advisers.
We help clarify what is happening, what documents matter, what evidence is missing, what questions should be asked, and how material can be presented in a more usable structure.
We do not provide legal advice, conduct litigation, exercise rights of audience, provide conveyancing, planning consultancy, ecological consultancy or regulated claims-management services.
Where legal, planning, ecological, surveying or other specialist advice is needed, our role is to help clients approach the right professional with clearer material, better chronology and sharper questions.
Start with a conversation
The usual first step is a free 20-minute scoping chat. It is there to understand the pressure you are facing, decide whether Clear Position is likely to help, and identify the right first paid step only if there is a sensible fit.
