Engagement models

How we charge, said plainly

Our commercial terms

Four things we will not do

These are in every contract we sign, because each one exists in response to something the industry does routinely.

No scope creep billing

If we should have anticipated it, we absorb it. Change requests are for genuine changes in what you want.

No bait and switch

The named team in the proposal is the team that arrives. Substitutions need your agreement in writing.

No automatic renewal

Retainers end unless you actively renew them. We would rather earn it each time than rely on inertia.

No dependency by design

Every engagement includes training your team to run what we built. A client who cannot function without us is a failure.

Start with the diagnostic

Two weeks, $18,000, credited in full if you go on to a full engagement. It is the cheapest way to find out whether we are useful to you.
