Every engagement is a fixed price agreed in writing before kickoff. The bands below are real. The bottom of each band is the typical starting point for a focused project; the top is what a mid-market client with more integrations and stakeholders pays.

Half on the day the contract is signed, half on the day of handoff. We do not bill hourly because the goal is not to spend hours, it is to ship the thing. If a project goes over its scope, that’s our problem. If you want to expand the scope, we write a new fixed-price addendum and you sign it.
Plain answers. If yours isn’t here, just ask on the intro call.
Because hourly aligns our incentives with billing more hours, not finishing the work. Fixed price aligns us with shipping. If we’re slow, that’s our problem.
We write an addendum: new scope, new price, new dates. You sign it or we deliver the original scope. No surprise invoices, ever.
No. Anthropic, OpenAI, Supabase, Vercel, and similar costs are billed to your accounts, in your name. We estimate them in the proposal and set hard ceilings inside the agent.
No. We charge cash for cash work. If you’d like to talk about an advisor relationship after the engagement closes, that’s a separate conversation.
Within the first 14 days of an engagement, you can cancel for any reason and get the deposit back, minus the assessment week at standard rates. After that we’re building the agreed scope. That clause has been used twice in three years.
No follow-up email loops. By the end of a thirty-minute call we either have a number on the table or a polite “not a fit” and a referral.
