FIG. 01 — PUBLISHED FOR EVERYONE
Agencies make you book a call to learn what they cost. We think that’s a tell.
Engagements from $7,500 to $95,000+
The prices are below — the session just scopes which one is yours. You leave with a draft Omega Statement either way.
FIG. 02 — THE DECISION SET
1 WEEK · VERDICT DAY 5
Find out if you’re right — before $39,500 is at stake.
CREDITS 100% TOWARD YOUR SPRINT
4 WEEKS · DEPLOYED EVERY FRIDAY
Your product. Live in four weeks. You watch it happen every Friday.
50% TO BOOK, 50% AFTER TWO FRIDAY DEPLOYS
3 WEEKS · IN YOUR EXISTING PRODUCT
One production AI capability — including “don’t use AI here” if that’s the honest verdict.
FIXED AGAINST AGREED ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
The price on this page is the price on the phone, in the proposal, and on the invoice. Same number, everyone, always.
NO QUOTES · NO CHANGE-ORDER MATH · NO “STARTING AT” — EXCEPT ENTERPRISE, WHICH IS CUSTOM AND SAYS SO
FIG. 03 — AFTER LAUNCH
One evidence-backed improvement cycle per month, same Friday deploy cadence, monthly one-page report.
3-MONTH INITIAL TERM · THEN 30 DAYS’ NOTICE
A dedicated squad — 2 engineers + design + PM oversight — running the method against your roadmap, quarterly.
30-DAY FIT GUARANTEE ON QUARTER ONE
A named senior technical leader, two days a week: architecture, hiring, vendors, board reporting.
MONTH 1 FIT-OR-REFUND
Which one? Growth if you need one improvement cycle a month. Scale if the backlog outgrows Growth two months running. Fractional CTO if the gap is judgment, not hands. You’ll hear which in the Product Session — including “none yet.”
FIG. 04 — ENTERPRISE
Enterprise — FROM $95,000 · custom scope · SOC2-friendly delivery
Milestone billing (40/30/30), your MSA or ours, DPA standard, security questionnaires completed. Dedicated Teams at $32,000/MO per squad. Built for organizations where legal review has more than one round.
FIG. 05 — RISK, REVERSED
[✓]The launch guarantee. Miss the agreed launch scope for reasons inside our control, and we work free until it ships. In the contract, not the footer.
[✓]The Week-1 kill verdict. Evidence first — and if the verdict is “don’t build,” you stop and pay $7,500, not $39,500. A sales pitch doesn’t tell its audience to keep their money.
[✓]The price is fixed against the signed scope. Want to change scope mid-sprint? We re-quote in writing before anything changes — you approve or we ship the original. No silent overages, ever.
[✓]You own the repo, the infrastructure, and the data from day one — not from final invoice. Walking away is always possible, which is exactly why you won’t need to.
$39,500 − $7,500 = $32,000 DUE AFTER DISCOVERY
Discovery is free if you build, and cheap insurance if you don’t — the credit holds for 90 days from your verdict, even after a kill.
DEPLOYMENT · IP TRANSFER · HANDOFF DOCS · LAUNCH SUPPORT — INCLUDED, ALWAYS
In the contractFIG. 06 — WHY FIXED PRICE PROTECTS YOU
Read that twice.
An hourly agency sells inputs. Every scope question becomes a change order; every slipped week earns them money. You carry 100% of the execution risk and 0% of the information advantage.
A fixed price flips the wiring: delays cost us, not you. Shipping fast and right the first time is how we make margin — the pressure you’d normally apply with contracts and check-ins is applied for you, automatically, by the price itself. You don’t have to trust our character. You have to trust arithmetic.
HOURLY: DELAY → THEIR REVENUE ▲ · FIXED: DELAY → OUR MARGIN ▼ · SHIP → OUR MARGIN ▲
This is why our prices are on this page and theirs aren’t. A published fixed price is a bet on our own speed. An unpublished hourly rate is a bet on your patience.
FIG. 07 — WE SAY NO IN PUBLIC
The wrong engagement costs both of us — you a budget, us a reputation. These four we turn down, in writing, before money moves.
If $39,500 is your last dollar, don’t spend it here. A launched product with zero runway to iterate is a slower way to fail. Come back when launch is the beginning of your budget, not the end.
If nobody knows whether the core technology can work — novel model training, open-ended R&D — you need researchers, not a product studio. We build on what’s proven, and we’ll point you somewhere honest.
If an existing tool covers 80%+ of your need, buy it. We’ll name the tool in the Product Session — it’s the cheapest advice we give and the fastest trust we earn.
Fixed price requires a definable end state. If you can’t sign an Omega Statement — one page saying what done means — we can’t fix a scope, and we won’t pretend to. Hourly shops exist for exactly this; we’re not one.
If you just recognized yourself, you now know something a discovery call would have charged you 30 minutes to learn. That’s this page working as intended.
FIG. 08 — OBJECTIONS, PRE-EMPTED
Eight questions, eight straight answers. If yours isn’t here, bring it to the Product Session — the answer will be just as plain.
Because hidden pricing is how the billable hour survives. You should know the price before you spend 30 minutes with us. Everyone pays the same.
Then we’ll tell you, in writing, in the Product Session — and show you what a 4-week version 1 cuts and why. If it genuinely can’t be cut, it’s an Enterprise engagement and we’ll price it as one.
We deploy working software every Friday, so you’ll never wonder. If we miss the agreed launch scope for reasons inside our control, we work free until it ships. It’s in the contract.
We tell you. You’ll have spent $7,500 to avoid spending $39,500 — and the Sprint credit holds for 90 days from your verdict, even after a kill. We think that’s the most valuable thing we sell.
No. Fixed price means fixed for everyone — the founder before you didn’t pay more because they negotiated worse. We’d rather cut scope than cut price. The one published exception: pay the Sprint in full at signing and it’s $37,525 — 5% off, available to everyone identically.
You do. Your repo, your cloud accounts, your data, from day one.
You should — after v1. Hiring takes 3–6 months and $200k+/yr before anyone ships. We get you live in 4 weeks, then help you hire (that’s what Fractional CTO is for).
AI writes the fast 70%. Senior engineers own the architecture, the security, and the last mile. You get the speed without the science project.
FIG. Ω — THE END STATE
A working session on your product — your Omega Statement gets started together, and you hear honestly which offer fits, including “none of them yet.”
