Pricing & Engagement
Every engagement is custom-scoped, but they all fit into one of three structures. We'll recommend the one that fits — never the most expensive one.
Fixed scope
1 – 2 weeks
A short, focused engagement to clarify the problem, surface risks, and produce an architecture proposal you own — whether or not we go further.
Right for: validating an idea before committing
Fixed price · per phase
4 – 16 weeks
End-to-end delivery of a defined product or system. Phased into milestones with bi-weekly demos and full source access from day one.
Right for: shipping the first version of a real product
Monthly · scoped capacity
Ongoing
A fixed block of senior engineering capacity each month, dedicated to evolution, optimization, and ops on systems we built or inherited.
Right for: keeping a live system healthy and growing
You own your code, infrastructure, and credentials from day one. Cancel any time, take everything with you.
We separate fixed-price (when scope is clear) from time-and-materials (when it can't be). We don't hide complexity in fudge-factors.
Engagements are measured by what gets shipped and how it performs in production — not by time logged.
Tell us what you're building. We'll come back within 48 hours with a recommended engagement model and a price range — no sales call required.
