Frequently Asked Questions
“I thought our engagement was excellent, and CCP staff were superlative. They were available, helpful, persistent when needed, and brought appropriate resources to the table. CCP took our initial proposal and worked with us to find the root causes of our concerns and we pivoted accordingly—a truly adept and thoughtful result of initial fact finding.”
