We don't bill hours. One fixed price on a defined outcome, agreed before anything starts — and if the work runs long, that comes out of our margin, not your invoice.
The bar has no right-hand edge. You find out what the project cost when the last invoice lands.
One number, agreed up front. If the work runs long, it comes out of our margin, not your invoice.
Hourly pays for time. Not for outcome.
Four things an hourly rate does to a project — and what one agreed number does instead.
- 01
You pay for time, not outcome
An hourly rate rewards slowness. The longer a task takes, the more the vendor bills — whether or not you got more value out of it.
- 02
No incentive to be fast
On hourly, speed costs the vendor money. On a fixed price, speed is our margin — never your bill.
- 03
Opaque total cost
A "20–40 hours" estimate isn't a price. It's a guess you pay to have refined while the work is running.
- 04
The overrun sits with you
Every hour past the estimate lands on your invoice. On a fixed price it lands on ours.
Same tools everyone has. Run as a fleet, gated by review, and measured.
The multiple below is a cost measurement from our own usage data. It is not a discount, and it is not the review bar moving.
cheaper than metered AI pricing for the same real usage
We run Claude Code and Cursor — the same tools most consultancies and in-house teams already pay for. The difference is the setup: one senior engineer directing specialized agents across cost-tiered models, with five blocking gates before anything reaches a protected branch. That's why a six-week timeline is real, and why a fixed number can be what it is.
- 01
The review bar doesn't move
Typecheck, secret scan, an independent model review, and a senior sign-off — every diff, every time.
- 02
It reaches you as timeline
Weeks instead of quarters, and a price set on the outcome — not a discount line on an invoice.
- 03
The overrun is ours
If delivery runs slower than we planned inside the agreed scope, that comes out of our margin.
The price covers four things — none of them hours on a clock.
When the number is fixed, you're paying for what actually decides whether the project lands.
- 01
Risk transfer
If the work runs past what we estimated, inside the agreed scope, that's our problem. The risk is priced in before we start.
- 02
One senior, start to finish
No hand-off to juniors after the sales call. The engineer you talk to is the one accountable for every line that ships.
- 03
Verified outcomes
Every release is tested on staging and approved by you before it goes out — not a timesheet you have to take on faith.
- 04
Rework is included
Bugs, misreads, and the second attempt at something we got wrong the first time sit inside the price. Only genuinely new scope produces a new number.
Four steps from question to price.
The audit is the real product here — most of the risk in a fixed price gets priced out before a line of code exists.
- 01Audit & scope
We read the spec, talk to your stakeholders, and write down what the work actually requires — not what it looks like on paper.
- 02Classify the work
Each part is split into mechanical work, which compresses hard, and judgement work, which needs senior calls. The two cost very different amounts to deliver.
- 03Price to outcome & risk
The number comes from what the outcome is worth to you and how much risk we absorb — not from a guess at an hour count.
- 04Staged, approved releases
Work ships in stages. You approve each one on staging before the next starts. No mid-project surprises.
The scoping conversation is free. If the work can't be priced flat, we say so on the call instead of billing you to find out.
Three ways in. All fixed price.
Advisory
Audits, proposal reviews, and fractional CTO. Written deliverables, fixed price.
Engineering
Fixed-scope sprints and foundation installs. One estimate, one price.
Enterprise Starter
Production-ready Next.js + Contentful starter, delivered to your repo.
Pricing questions
Do you ever bill hourly?
Do you ever bill hourly?
No. Everything is fixed price, agreed before work starts. If something falls outside the agreed scope, we stop and price the addition before continuing — never a surprise hourly invoice.
What happens if scope changes mid-project?
What happens if scope changes mid-project?
We stop, write down the new scope, and you get a price on the change before we continue. No "we'll sort it out later" invoices.
Why does this cost what it costs?
Why does this cost what it costs?
The price reflects what the outcome is worth, the risk we absorb, and that a senior engineer is accountable end to end — not a timesheet from a team you've never met.
What if the work takes longer than expected?
What if the work takes longer than expected?
That's our problem. If we run past our own estimate inside the agreed scope, you don't pay more.
Can I pay in installments?
Can I pay in installments?
Yes, on most packages — and always on the Enterprise Starter, which can be spread over 12 months. Ask at kickoff.
Is there a package if my project doesn't fit any of the three?
Is there a package if my project doesn't fit any of the three?
Probably. Most work can be priced flat after a short audit conversation — that's the point of the audit step.
Got something that needs a price?
Bring the scope you have — a spec, a quote you don't trust, or a rough idea. You'll leave the call with a fixed number, not a guess.
