Clear answers before you commit.

Does an enquiry commit me to paid work?

An enquiry does not commit you to paid work. We agree on the scope, deliverables, schedule, and fees before any paid consultation or project begins.

I’m worried I’ll pay for a consultation that will not solve my problem.

Not every greenhouse problem has a quick or profitable fix, and AGS will not pretend otherwise. A consultation helps define the real question, assess what the available evidence can support, and identify a practical next step. If the evidence does not justify spending more, we will tell you.

What if the consultation was not helpful?

Completed consultations and assessments include 60 days of follow-up clarification from delivery. If the recommendation is not clear or usable, AGS will provide reasonable clarification or a written refinement at no additional consulting fee. Ongoing support can be extended by agreement.

What is included in the 60-day support period?

It covers reasonable questions about the findings, recommendations, assumptions, and next steps in the agreed deliverable. New data analysis, site visits, trials, implementation, or work outside the original scope is quoted separately.

Will AGS ask for confidential greenhouse data?

Only information relevant to the question should be requested. Initial conversations can stay high level. When sensitive information is needed, confidentiality expectations and an appropriate transfer method are agreed first.

Can AGS guarantee a production result or funding decision?

No consultant can responsibly guarantee crop performance, technology outcomes, or funding approval. AGS provides a clear scope, appropriate evidence, honest interpretation, and practical recommendations. We also explain what remains uncertain and where the limits are.

How long does an assessment take?

A focused assessment commonly takes 5–10 business days after the required information is available. Site visits, trials, and larger projects follow a written schedule agreed before work begins.
