How We Price Engagements
Project-Based Pricing
For well-defined projects (MVP development, AI product builds), we provide fixed-price quotes based on scope, complexity, and timeline. This model gives you predictability and clear deliverables.
Retainer Model
For ongoing support (DevOps, Fractional CTO), we offer monthly retainers that give you guaranteed access, priority support, and quarterly strategy reviews. Perfect for long-term partnerships.
Hybrid Engagements
Combine project work with retainer support. Example: Build your MVP ($60K) + 6 months of scaling support ($10K/mo). We customize the model to fit your growth stage.
