Independence is not an argument. It is an operating rule.
A trusted advisor's value rests on its neutrality. Your interest, nothing else: no vendor to promote, no integrator to place, no team to staff. This commitment sets the rules TAIARO holds itself to with every client, before any engagement begins.
1. A Business Model With No Staffing Leverage
Every mandate is personally led by Pierre Farès, with no sub-delegation and no pyramid of staff to keep billable at any cost.
No engagement decision, architecture recommendation or vendor recommendation is ever influenced by a goal of additional billing or resource placement. A complementary expert (cyber, data, AI) is brought in only with the client's prior consent.
2. No kickbacks, no hidden commercial partnership
- No compensation, commission or benefit received from a software vendor, system integrator or cloud provider recommended during a mandate.
- No commercial partnership, referral-fee or preferred-listing agreement with any technology supplier.
- No license resale and no hidden margin on any tool or platform prescribed to the client.
TAIARO's sole source of income is the fee billed directly to the client, under the published rate card negotiated upfront for each mandate.
3. Contractual transparency
The initial scoping of each mission fully fixes the financial model chosen — fixed price or daily rate — before any work begins. No hidden surcharge, no billing of unanticipated hours without prior written approval.
4. A commitment grounded in the confidentiality protocol
This neutrality is systematically backed by a bilateral non-disclosure agreement signed before any sensitive information is shared — see the Bilateral 2h NDA Protocol.
