How engagements work

Same structure every time, adapted in formality to the size of the work — a two-hour consult and a six-figure turnkey build follow the same spine.

  1. 01

    Intro call

    Thirty minutes. No charge. We figure out whether there's a fit worth exploring before anyone commits to anything.

  2. 02

    NDA, if you need one

    Mutual, simple, executed before any proprietary discussion. Skip it when there's nothing sensitive yet.

  3. 03

    Discovery and scope

    One or more working sessions to understand the problem, the systems, and the constraints. We surface what's in scope, what's out, and what's deferred — in writing — before quoting.

  4. 04

    Statement of Work

    Clear deliverables, timeline, and price. Fixed-price when scope is clear; time-and-materials when it isn't. No surprise bills — scope changes go through written change orders.

  5. 05

    Execution

    Onsite days, sprints, or retainer cadence — whichever shape fits. Status updates on the cadence you want. Acceptance windows and revision rounds are spelled out in the SOW.

  6. 06

    Closeout

    Final deliverable accepted. Knowledge transfer to the person who'll own it after we leave. Sixty-day warranty on material defects.

Start at step one.

A 30-minute intro call costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Worst case, you get a straight answer about whether we're the right fit.
