| Question | Dedicated staffing | Outsourced function | Blended support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work? | An assigned professional | A provider-assigned team | Named professionals and shared teams |
| Who directs delivery? | As agreed with the client | As defined in the service scope | Responsibilities split in the plan |
| What needs documenting? | Role, hours, and reporting line | Outputs, service standards, and exceptions | All of these, plus handoffs |
Consider continuity
Work involving daily context, changing priorities, or close collaboration may benefit from an assigned professional. Repeatable workflows may suit a team that receives and completes defined work.
Agree management responsibilities
Identify who sets priorities, checks quality, handles absences, and approves exceptions. A service fee does not automatically include every management responsibility.
