The Process
Many teams who come to us haven't commissioned animation before, or they have, and it didn't go well. Missed dates, a supplier who went quiet between milestones, a "final" cut that didn't match what was approved. This is what actually happens on a MightyGiant project, stage by stage, so you can decide if it solves that problem before you brief us.
Nobody asks "how much hand-holding do you provide" because they want to be babied. They ask it because they've either never bought animation before and don't know what a good process looks like, or they've bought it once, from somewhere cheaper or more experimental, and it cost them more than the invoice — in stalled sign-off, an internal stakeholder who lost confidence, a deadline that moved because nobody was managing it.
That's a completely reasonable thing to be worried about, and it's not solved by reassurance. It's solved by a process specific enough that you can see exactly where you are in it at any point, and exactly whose job it is to keep it moving.

Stage 2_ Story & Script

Is there a fixed number included in scope, with extra rounds costed separately? This is exactly the kind of detail that reassures a time-poor or first-time buyer — they want to know where the goalposts are before they start.]
