FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

General
What is the referral partner program? A way to earn passive income in the form of commissions simply by introducing us to connections that we can serve.
The Referral Partner Program allows you to introduce people and businesses that need consulting, system integration, custom software or IT recruiting. You make the introduction; we handle scoping, selling and delivery. If the referral becomes a paying client, you earn commission as a percentage of revenue.
TTTLS
Who can join? Consultants, advisors, fractional executives, and other professionals with trusted business relationships.
The program is designed for professionals who regularly interact with small and mid-sized businesses and can recognize when a company may benefit from outside technology or transformation support. This may include consultants, advisors, fractional executives, accountants, attorneys, business brokers, industry specialists, and other trusted professionals. You do not need to be a technology expert. The most important qualification is being able to identify situations where a business is struggling with disconnected systems, manual processes, inefficient workflows, outdated technology, or broader transformation challenges—and making a qualified introduction when there is a potential fit.
TTTLS
Can both individuals or organizations participate in the referral partner program? Yes. The program is open to both individuals and organizations.
Yes. The referral partner program is designed to accommodate both individual professionals and organizations. Consultants, advisors, fractional executives, professional service firms, consulting companies, and other businesses with relevant relationships may participate, subject to the terms of the referral agreement.
TTTLS
Does it cost anything to join? No. There is no cost to join or participate in the referral partner program.

TLS
Is the referral agreement legally binding? Yes. Once signed, the referral agreement is intended to be binding according to its terms.
Yes. Once executed by the participating individual or organization and Akhani LLC, the referral agreement governs the relationship between the parties, including referral eligibility, commissions, payment terms, confidentiality, and other applicable obligations. Any FAQs, website content, or program materials are provided for general informational purposes only; if there is any inconsistency, the terms of the signed referral agreement will control.
TLS
Can I use the Akhani LLC, Tech Transpire, or True Lean Solutions name, logo, or marketing materials when making a referral? Yes, but only approved names, logos, and marketing materials may be used, and they must be used in accordance with our brand guidelines.
Yes. Referral partners may use approved Akhani LLC, Tech Transpire, and True Lean Solutions names, logos, and marketing materials when making introductions or discussing our capabilities, provided those materials are used as supplied and in accordance with our brand guidelines. Logos, messaging, presentations, or other materials should not be altered or used in a way that suggests you are an employee, agent, or authorized representative of Akhani LLC unless specifically agreed in writing. If you need materials for a referral, your Akhani LLC contact can provide the appropriate approved version.
TTTLS
How big is your team? We operate with a flexible, distributed team model that leverages fractional talent and the gig economy, allowing us to scale up or down based on client needs without carrying unnecessary overhead.
Our team is intentionally structured to be flexible and scalable rather than defined by a single fixed headcount. We combine core leadership with consultants, architects, engineers, developers, data and AI specialists, fractional executives, and trusted delivery partners across multiple regions. By leveraging the gig economy and fractional talent model, we can quickly assemble specialized teams, scale capacity up or down as project needs change, and access the right expertise without building unnecessary permanent overhead. This allows us to remain agile, cost-conscious, and responsive while giving clients access to experienced talent matched to the specific needs of each engagement.
TTTLS
Where do you operate? We currently operate across the United States, India, and the United Kingdom, with expansion underway into Mexico, the UAE, and Australia.
Akhani LLC and its divisions, Tech Transpire and True Lean Solutions, currently operate across the United States, India, and the United Kingdom, with our presence expanding into Mexico, the UAE, and Australia. This distributed footprint gives us access to talent across multiple regions and time zones, enabling broader market coverage, greater delivery flexibility, and stronger support for clients with geographically distributed operations. Our model allows us to structure teams around client needs while continuing to expand into strategic markets across North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Australia.
TTTLS
What capabilities does Tech Transpire offer? Tech Transpire provides transformation advisory, technology strategy, ERP and CRM advisory, program leadership, process improvement, systems alignment, and fractional transformation leadership.
Tech Transpire is our transformation advisory and leadership division. Its capabilities include technology and transformation strategy, ERP and CRM advisory, Salesforce advisory, transformation roadmaps, current-state and future-state assessments, business process improvement, requirements definition, program and project leadership, PMO and governance, implementation readiness, vendor and systems-integrator evaluation, systems and integration strategy, application modernization planning, project health assessments, troubled-project recovery, executive advisory, fractional transformation leadership, AI and automation opportunity assessment, and build-vs.-buy-vs.-integrate decision support.
TT
What capabilities does True Lean Solutions offer? True Lean Solutions provides technology execution through custom software, integrations, Salesforce, cloud, DevOps, data engineering, analytics, AI/ML, automation, application support, and specialized technical resources.
True Lean Solutions is our technology execution and delivery division. Its capabilities include custom software and application development, system and API integrations, Salesforce development and enhancements, ERP-related technical execution, data migration, cloud engineering, DevOps and CI/CD, data engineering, data pipelines, data integration, data warehousing, reporting and business intelligence, Power BI, analytics, AI and machine learning solutions, AI-enabled automation, workflow and business-process automation, application modernization, ongoing application support and maintenance, and specialized technical resources such as developers, architects, data engineers, AI/ML specialists, cloud engineers, analysts, and delivery teams.
TLS
Do clients have to use both Tech Transpire and True Lean Solutions? No. Clients can engage either division independently or use both when the situation calls for it.
No. Tech Transpire and True Lean Solutions are designed to work independently or together, depending on the client’s needs. A client may engage Tech Transpire for strategy, advisory, transformation leadership, governance, or program support without using True Lean Solutions. Likewise, a client may engage True Lean Solutions directly for technical execution, development, integrations, data, AI/ML, or specialized resources. When an initiative benefits from both advisory and execution, the two divisions can work together to provide continuity from strategy through delivery—but there is never a requirement to use both.
TTTLS
Can I refer companies or opportunities outside the United States? Yes. We welcome qualified referrals from international markets where we can appropriately support the client and engagement.
Yes. Akhani LLC and its divisions support opportunities across multiple regions and time zones, so referral partners may introduce qualified prospects outside the United States. International opportunities are evaluated based on the client’s needs, location, contracting requirements, regulatory considerations, delivery feasibility, and our ability to provide the right capabilities. As we continue expanding our presence across additional global markets, we welcome introductions to organizations where there is a strong fit for our consultation or implementation services.
TTTLS
I already know the founder or team personally. Why do I still need to sign the Referral Partner Agreement? The agreement formalizes the relationship, protects both parties, and allows us to properly track your referrals, eligibility, and commission activity.
Even if you already know the founder or team personally, the Referral Partner Agreement creates a clear and consistent framework for the relationship. It allows us to formally associate referrals with you, track acceptance and eligibility, maintain an accurate record of qualifying opportunities, and provide notifications and updates related to your referrals and commissions. It also establishes the commercial terms and expectations for both parties so there is no ambiguity later about attribution, payment, or program rules.
TTTLS
Earnings
How does the referral commission work? You earn 10% of qualifying consultation and implementation revenue actually collected from the referred client for 24 months from the first paid invoice.
Referral partners earn 10% of qualifying collected revenue from eligible consultation and implementation services provided to the referred client for 24 months beginning with the first paid invoice. Commissions are calculated only on revenue actually received by Akhani LLC, not on contracted or invoiced amounts that remain unpaid. Staffing engagements, partner products, referral-partner relationships, and other excluded revenue do not qualify for commission. Final eligibility and calculation are governed by the signed Referral Partner Agreement.
TTTLS
What does “Net Revenue” mean when calculating my referral commission? Net Revenue is the qualifying revenue Akhani LLC actually collects from the referred client, after applicable exclusions and deductions.
Net Revenue generally means the amount Akhani LLC actually receives from the referred client for qualifying consultation and implementation services, after deducting items that are not commissionable. This may include taxes, refunds, credits, discounts, reimbursed or pass-through expenses, third-party costs, and amounts that are invoiced but never collected. Referral commissions are calculated on this eligible collected revenue—not on the total contract value or simply the amount invoiced. Staffing services, partner products, referral-partner relationships, and other excluded offerings are not commissionable. The signed Referral Partner Agreement controls the final calculation of Net Revenue and commission eligibility.
TTTLS
What is excluded from referral commissions? Referral commissions do not apply to staffing engagements, partner products, or situations where the referred party becomes a referral partner rather than a client.
Referral commissions apply only to eligible client revenue under the terms of the Referral Partner Agreement. Certain types of revenue and relationships are excluded, including staffing engagements, partner products or third-party offerings, and situations where the referred individual or organization joins our referral partner program rather than becoming a direct client. Other exclusions may also apply as defined in the agreement, including applicable taxes, pass-through expenses, refunds, credits, and other non-qualifying revenue. The signed Referral Partner Agreement governs final commission eligibility and calculation.
TTTLS
When do I get paid? Referral commissions are paid monthly after we receive payment from the referred client.
Referral commissions are calculated monthly and paid within 30 days after the applicable client payment has been received. Payments are based on collected revenue, not simply invoiced amounts. You will also receive a statement summarizing the qualifying client payments received and the corresponding referral commission earned.
TTTLS
How will I know how much referral commission I have earned? We will provide you with a commission statement showing the qualifying revenue collected from your referred clients and the commission earned.
Akhani LLC will provide you with a periodic commission statement summarizing the qualifying revenue collected from clients attributed to you and the corresponding referral commission earned. The statement will reflect eligible consultation and implementation revenue received during the applicable commission period, along with any relevant exclusions or adjustments. This gives you a clear record of how your commission was calculated and what amount is due for payment under the Referral Partner Agreement.
TTTLS
Submission
How do I submit a referral? Simply connect with your Akhani LLC contact with the referral details.
To submit a referral, reach out to your contact at Akhani LLC and share the prospective client’s name, organization, and any relevant background you have. We will record the referral and associate it with you or your organization so there is a clear record of the introduction. From there, our team can coordinate the appropriate next steps with you and the prospective client.
TLS
What makes a referral a qualified referral? A qualified referral is a genuine new introduction to a prospective client with a relevant business need, where the referral is accepted and properly recorded by Akhani LLC.
A referral is considered qualified when it represents a genuine new business opportunity, the prospective client has a relevant need that aligns with our consultation or implementation capabilities, and the introduction is made to an appropriate contact with enough context for us to begin a meaningful conversation. The referral must also be accepted and recorded by Akhani LLC and cannot already be an active client, existing opportunity, or prospect already being pursued by us unless otherwise agreed. Final qualification and commission eligibility are determined under the terms of the Referral Partner Agreement.
TTTLS
What happens after I refer someone? We take it from there while keeping you appropriately informed about the opportunity.
Once you make the introduction, our team will connect with the prospect, learn more about their needs, and determine whether there is a good fit. We will handle the discovery, follow-up, solution discussions, and commercial process. Your referral will remain associated with you in our records, and we will keep you appropriately informed as the opportunity progresses. If the referral results in qualifying business, any applicable commission will be handled according to the referral agreement.
TLS
What happens if Akhani is already working with or speaking to the prospect I refer? If the prospect is already an active client or existing opportunity, the referral generally will not qualify for commission.
If Akhani LLC is already working with, actively pursuing, or engaged in substantive discussions with the prospect before your introduction, the referral generally will not be considered a new qualifying referral. We will review our records and let you know whether the referral is accepted. If your introduction creates a clearly distinct opportunity, business unit, or relationship that was not previously under discussion, Akhani LLC may evaluate it separately. Final eligibility is determined in accordance with the Referral Partner Agreement.
TTTLS
What happens if two referral partners introduce the same company? The referral is generally credited to the partner who first makes and properly records the qualifying introduction.
If the same prospective client is introduced by more than one referral partner, we will review our referral records to determine which partner made the first valid and documented qualifying introduction. That partner will generally receive credit for the referral. If the circumstances are unclear, overlapping, or involve materially different opportunities within the same organization, Akhani LLC will review the situation and determine the appropriate referral attribution in good faith and in accordance with the Referral Partner Agreement.
TTTLS
How long does my referral remain eligible to convert into a client? A qualified referral remains eligible for 8 months from the date of introduction.
Once you introduce a prospective client to Akhani LLC, the referral remains eligible to convert into a qualifying client engagement for 8 months from the date of introduction. If the prospect does not enter into a qualifying engagement within that period, the referral will generally expire unless otherwise agreed in writing by Akhani LLC. Final eligibility is governed by the signed Referral Partner Agreement.
TTTLS
Can I refer more than one opportunity within the same company? Yes, but once a company is accepted as your referral, the client relationship is attributed to you for the full 24-month commission period—not just the original opportunity you introduced.
Yes. Once you introduce a company and Akhani LLC accepts it as your qualified referral, the client relationship remains attributed to you for the applicable commission period. You are not limited to earning commission only on the specific project or opportunity that led to the introduction. You can earn commission on all qualifying consultation and implementation revenue collected from that referred client for 24 months beginning with the first paid invoice, including additional eligible projects or opportunities that arise during that period. You do not need to separately register every new opportunity within that client account. Standard exclusions—such as staffing, partner products, referral-partner relationships, and other non-qualifying revenue—continue to apply under the Referral Partner Agreement.
TTTLS
What happens if my referral starts with Tech Transpire but the work is ultimately handled by True Lean Solutions, or vice versa? Your referral remains associated with you regardless of which Akhani LLC division ultimately performs the qualifying work.
Referral credit is tied to the referred client relationship, not to a specific division. If a prospect is initially introduced through Tech Transpire but the resulting qualifying consultation or implementation work is performed by True Lean Solutions—or the reverse—the referral can still remain eligible for commission. The applicable commission is based on qualifying Net Revenue collected by Akhani LLC and remains subject to the Referral Partner Agreement and any applicable exclusions.
TTTLS
Do I need to decide whether an opportunity belongs to Tech Transpire or True Lean Solutions? No. Simply make the introduction and share the business need; we will determine the right division or combination of capabilities.
No. You do not need to determine whether an opportunity belongs to Tech Transpire, True Lean Solutions, or both. Your role is to identify a potential business need and make the introduction. Our team will evaluate the situation, understand the client’s objectives, and determine which division and capabilities are the best fit. If the opportunity evolves from advisory into implementation—or from execution into broader transformation support—we can adjust accordingly without affecting your referral attribution.
TTTLS
Is there a minimum project or engagement size required to earn a referral commission? Yes. A qualifying engagement must generally have at least $20,000 in Net Revenue to be eligible for referral commission.
Yes. To qualify for referral commission, an individual engagement or Statement of Work generally must generate at least $20,000 in Net Revenue to Akhani LLC. Engagements below this threshold are normally excluded unless Akhani LLC approves an exception in writing. The commission applies only to otherwise eligible consultation and implementation services, subject to the terms of the Referral Partner Agreement.
TTTLS
Involvement
How will I know if my referral has been accepted? We will confirm once your referral has been reviewed, accepted, and recorded under your name.
After you submit a referral, Akhani LLC will review the information to confirm that it meets the program requirements and is not already an active client, existing opportunity, or previously registered referral. Once accepted, we will notify you and record the referral under your name in our system. That confirmation establishes a clear record of the referral for future tracking and commission eligibility, subject to the terms of the Referral Partner Agreement.
TTTLS
Do I have to stay involved in the project? No. Involvement is entirely optional.
Once the introduction is made, nothing further is required of you. Some partners like to stay close to the engagement; others prefer to hand off entirely. Both are fine and neither affects commission.
TLS
Customer
How should I start a conversation with a potential prospect? Focus on building a genuine relationship, ask thoughtful open-ended questions, and listen for business challenges where we may be able to help.
Start with the relationship, not the referral. Have a genuine conversation about the person’s business, priorities, challenges, and what they are trying to improve. Ask open-ended questions such as what is creating friction, where teams are spending too much manual effort, what systems are not working well together, or what major initiatives are coming up. The goal is to listen for meaningful “nuggets” of opportunity rather than force a sales conversation. When a relevant need naturally surfaces, you can mention that you know a team at Akhani LLC that may be able to help and offer to make a warm introduction. You do not need to sell or diagnose the solution—our team can take it from there.
TTTLS
What should I say if a prospect wants to know more about Akhani LLC before I make an introduction? Give them a simple overview: "we help businesses solve complex technology, process, and transformation challenges through our two divisions, Tech Transpire and True Lean Solutions."
Keep the explanation simple and relevant to the challenge they shared. You can explain that Akhani LLC operates two complementary divisions: Tech Transpire, which focuses on transformation advisory, strategy, alignment, ERP/CRM, program leadership, and complex business-technology initiatives; and True Lean Solutions, which focuses on execution through custom software, integrations, technical delivery, and specialized technology resources. You do not need to explain every service or determine exactly which division they need. The goal is simply to provide enough context to establish credibility and interest, then offer to make a warm introduction so our team can learn more about their situation and determine whether there is a fit.
TTTLS
Who are the ideal customers for Tech Transpire? ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) is defined as Growing, mid-market, and enterprise organizations facing complex transformation, technology, process, or program challenges that require experienced leadership and clearer direction.
Tech Transpire is best suited for organizations navigating complex business and technology change—especially when multiple stakeholders, systems, vendors, processes, or priorities need to be aligned. Ideal customers include growing, mid-market, and enterprise organizations undertaking ERP or CRM transformations, technology modernization, business process improvement, major integrations, program recovery, or other high-stakes initiatives. We are particularly valuable when leadership needs an independent perspective, stronger governance, clearer requirements, better alignment between business and technology, or experienced transformation leadership without necessarily adding a permanent executive or large consulting team.
TT
Who are the Ideal Customers Profile (ICP) for True Lean Solutions? Organizations that need reliable technology execution, specialized technical expertise, or additional delivery capacity to build, integrate, modernize, and support business-critical solutions.
True Lean Solutions is best suited for organizations that have a defined technology need or business problem and require capable technical execution to move it forward. Ideal customers include small and mid-sized businesses, growing companies, and enterprise teams needing custom software, system integrations, Salesforce development, cloud and DevOps support, data engineering and analytics, AI/ML solutions, automation, application modernization, ongoing support, or specialized technical resources. We are especially valuable when an organization needs flexible access to experienced developers, architects, engineers, data and AI specialists, or complete delivery teams without having to build every capability internally.
TLS
What situations are not a good fit for Tech Transpire? Tech Transpire is generally not the best fit for purely transactional staffing needs, narrowly defined technical execution, or situations where the client only wants validation of a predetermined decision.
Tech Transpire is most valuable when an organization needs independent thinking, transformation leadership, strategic clarity, governance, process improvement, or alignment across business and technology. It is generally not the best fit for purely transactional staffing requests, commodity resource placement, narrowly defined development work with no advisory need, or situations where the client has already made every major decision and is only looking for someone to validate a predetermined direction. In those cases, True Lean Solutions or another delivery-focused provider may be a better fit.
TT
What situations are not a good fit for True Lean Solutions? True Lean Solutions is generally not the best fit when the need is purely strategic, when the problem is still too unclear to execute against, or when price is the only decision factor.
True Lean Solutions is most valuable when there is a clear technology or execution need and the client wants reliable delivery, specialized expertise, and accountability. It is generally not the best fit for engagements that are still primarily about strategy, transformation direction, organizational alignment, or major business decisions that should be clarified before technical work begins—those situations may be better suited for Tech Transpire first. It may also not be the right fit for purely commodity staffing requests where the only priority is the lowest possible rate, or for engagements where there is not enough clarity, access, or stakeholder commitment to execute successfully.
TLS
Why should we choose Tech Transpire? Because we bring clarity to complex transformation initiatives, align business and technology, and help organizations make better decisions before committing significant time and money to execution.
Tech Transpire is built for organizations that need more than another consultant or implementation vendor. We focus on clarity, alignment, and accountable transformation leadership—helping clients define the real problem, understand tradeoffs, establish the right roadmap, align stakeholders, and create the governance needed for successful execution. Our approach is independent, practical, and outcome-focused. We are not tied to a specific software platform or predetermined solution, which allows us to focus on what is right for the business. Clients also benefit from direct senior-level involvement, flexible engagement models, and the ability to connect strategy to execution through True Lean Solutions when appropriate.
TT
Why should we choose True Lean Solutions? Because we combine flexible technical talent, practical execution, and scalable delivery models to help clients build, integrate, modernize, and support technology without unnecessary overhead.
True Lean Solutions is designed for organizations that need reliable technology execution with flexibility and accountability. We provide access to developers, architects, cloud and DevOps engineers, data specialists, AI/ML talent, and other technical professionals through project-based, fractional, and distributed delivery models. By leveraging a flexible talent model, we can scale teams up or down as needs change and bring in specialized expertise without requiring clients to build every capability internally. Our focus is not simply on providing resources—we aim to understand the business outcome, assemble the right technical team, and deliver practical solutions across custom software, integrations, Salesforce, cloud, data, AI/ML, automation, and application support.
TLS
How quickly can you begin an engagement? In many cases, we can begin quickly once the scope, priorities, team, and commercial terms are aligned.
The timing depends on the nature of the engagement, required expertise, client readiness, and contracting requirements. For advisory or smaller engagements, we can often mobilize quickly. For larger implementation or specialized technical work, we may need additional time to assemble the right team and complete onboarding. Our flexible, fractional, and distributed delivery model allows us to scale resources efficiently and begin work without the delays often associated with building a permanent team.

Akhani LLC is the operating company behind two distinct consulting brands — Tech Transpire and True Lean Solutions — each built to serve a different market need, audience, and customer journey.

Founded in 2023, Tech Transpire began as a niche DevOps consulting and staffing firm, helping organizations strengthen technical capabilities through specialized talent and delivery support across complex systems and environments. The business has since evolved, with Tech Transpire now operating as a division of Akhani LLC, into a broader transformation partner addressing the strategic, organizational, operational, and technology challenges that often determine whether complex initiatives succeed.

True Lean Solutions began in 2025, when we partnered with a close colleague to help develop a business focused on practical technology solutions, custom development, systems integration, and operational improvement. In August 2026, Akhani LLC acquired the True Lean Solutions brand and brought it into the Akhani portfolio.

Today, both brands operate as DBAs of Akhani LLC, with intentionally distinct positioning, audiences, and messaging — allowing us to meet clients where they are while drawing on the shared leadership, capabilities, values, and delivery resources of one organization.
