Ways to work
Analysis depth scales to the engagement, and so does the commercial shape. We recommend the first model below when scope is genuinely unclear — but no category of work is turned away, and arriving with your own requirements makes the engagement shorter, not unwelcome.
A new platform, a contested scope, or a board that needs a fixed price.
Phase 1 fixed fee, then Phase 2 scoped from it
Discuss scope →A well-defined ask with a smaller budget and no appetite for a separate discovery phase.
Single fixed price
Discuss scope →You already have a specification, a backlog, or an internal analyst.
Fixed price after review, or day rate
Discuss scope →A build in trouble, an inherited codebase, or a vendor on the way out.
Fixed-fee assessment, then your call
Discuss scope →Your delivery team needs analysis capability, not a vendor.
Monthly retainer or day rate
Discuss scope →A founder or SMB that needs a technical decision-maker part-time.
Monthly retainer
Discuss scope →On pricing
Scope varies enough between engagements that a published figure would be wrong in both directions — too high for a small integration, too low for a platform. So we describe the commercial shape honestly and give you a number once we understand what you actually need. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation.
