Yes. A 30-day paid pilot focused on a specific outcome (a migration, an audit, a single office cutover) is the cleanest way to validate fit before a full retainer.

30 days written notice after the initial term is standard. The provider should also commit in writing to a clean offboarding: documentation handover, license transfers, and credentials reset.

Per-user models scale linearly. Fixed-fee retainers typically true-up quarterly. Get the formula in writing so a 30% headcount jump doesn't produce a surprise invoice.

Most LA engagements fall into the ranges noted in the cost guide above. A 30-minute scoping call with two or three providers will give you a tight, written estimate for your specific environment.
