Pricing & Engagement FAQ

Clarity up front. Here's how we work together and what to expect.

How do you price projects?

I scope outcomes, risks, and milestones first, then price as a fixed project or retainer. No hourly surprises.

What does a retainer include?

Reserved founder time for roadmap, delivery, and operations. You get priority response, proactive monitoring, and a predictable cadence for shipping.

Do you ever say no?

Yes. I limit active clients and push back when an idea adds risk without clear upside.

How do we start?

Book a call. If we're a fit, we'll run a short discovery to finalize scope and risk, then you'll get a clear plan, timeline, and price.

Can you work with our existing team?

Absolutely. I collaborate directly with leadership and in-house teams, integrating cleanly with your tools, vendors, and compliance requirements.

How many clients do you take on?

Only a handful at any time. That keeps delivery white-glove, communication clear, and outcomes reliable.

What if the scope is unclear?

We can start with a paid discovery to map risks, architecture, and ROI. If you move forward, that investment can be applied to the build.
