What is a fixed-price engagement?

In short

A fixed-price engagement is a contract where the consultant delivers an agreed scope for a set price, regardless of how many hours it takes. It gives the client budget certainty and shifts overrun risk to the supplier, but requires a well-defined scope upfront. It suits clearly bounded projects; vague or evolving work often fits a day-rate model better.
