How we work & price

Clear engagement models, honest estimates.

We don't publish a fixed price list, because custom software isn't a SKU — but we are completely transparent about how we engage and what drives a quote. Every estimate is given in writing, up front, before any commitment.

Fixed-scope build

Best when you know the problem and want it solved.

A defined system — a CRM, an approval workflow, a case manager — scoped to a written statement of work with a fixed deliverable and timeline. Most builds run four to six weeks, demoed every Friday.

  • Written scope and a fixed price agreed before we start
  • Working software in your hands by week two
  • Weekly Friday demos so you steer as it's built
  • Source code and infrastructure handed to you at the end

Monthly retainer

Best when software needs to keep evolving.

An agreed amount of senior engineering each month — bug fixes, small features, performance and security work — on a sprint plan set at the start of every month. The work that keeps software useful 18 months in.

  • A written sprint plan agreed each month, no surprises
  • Priority queue for fixes and small features
  • Security patches and dependency upkeep included
  • Cancel or pause with notice — no long lock-in

Audit & advisory

Best when you've inherited a codebase or a decision.

A fixed-fee, independent review — architecture, security, data handling, deploy pipeline, bus factor — or a short advisory engagement to pressure-test a build-vs-buy decision before you commit budget.

  • Markdown report with a prioritised, estimated fix list
  • Honest build-vs-buy guidance, even when the answer is 'buy'
  • No obligation to engage us for the remediation
  • Turnaround in days, not weeks

What goes into a quote

On the discovery call we map your process, then give you a written estimate. A handful of things move the number more than anything else:

  • How much is genuinely custom versus configuration of tools you already own
  • The number of integrations and how well-documented those systems are
  • Data migration volume and how clean the source data is
  • Compliance and audit requirements (GST, statutory deadlines, access control)
  • Whether you want a one-off build or an ongoing retainer afterwards

A 30-minute discovery call, a written scope, and an indicative estimate are always free and carry no obligation. A project becomes a commitment only once both sides sign a written statement of work.
