30 minutes
Strategy call
Founders, CEOs, CTOs, and operations leads who can describe the painful workflow.
- · A working conversation — not a demo theatre.
- · A written note on whether the first slice is SEO, software, AI, or automation.
- · What should wait. Saying no is part of the call.
Not included: A free audit, a proposal deck, or a price before we have seen the stack.
Usually 1–2 weeks, fixed
Discovery sprint
Teams who know it hurts but cannot yet write a statement of work.
- · Access review (CRM, Search Console, repo, inboxes — only what is needed).
- · A v1 boundary, a risk list, and a sequenced backlog.
- · A recommendation to build, automate, or stop.
Not included: A 90-page PDF nobody implements. If the right answer is “do not build yet,” we say that.
Weeks to a small number of months
Project slice
A bounded journey you can click: one workflow, one money-page cluster, one portal, one RAG channel.
- · A written scope and definition of done.
- · Staging URLs from the first slice.
- · Handover: what shipped, how to run it, what will rot if nobody owns it.
Not included: An 18-month Gantt chart for an MVP. Scope changes against something real.
Monthly, after a slice is live
Retainer
Operators who want one backlog across search, product, intelligence, and operations.
- · A monthly ship cadence and a one-page narrative for leadership.
- · Specialists get the issue log. Vanity charts are not the deliverable.
- · The people on the kickoff stay on the work.
Not included: A junior bait-and-switch. Not a portal you cannot export.
Commercial notes
Paid work is governed by a statement of work. Public pages are not a contract.
You own commissioned code and content under that agreement. We do not trap you in an unexportable builder unless you choose a hosted component on purpose.
We decline unsupervised commercial spam, impersonation of licensed professionals, and “wrap an API key in a landing page” work a freelancer should do in a weekend.
