Hourly and fixed-price engagements are both available. This is paid engineering and consulting for businesses with a real project and a budget. We agree the scope, pricing model, and spending limit before work begins.

Choose the closest fit; describe any overlap below.

Neither model is required to inquire. We can agree the approach together.

Choose the closest engagement budget. The Working Prototype is a fixed $10,000; other work can be hourly or fixed price. The accepted proposal confirms the rate or fixed fee and spending limit.

Pricing & Budget FAQ

Which pricing models are available?
Both hourly and fixed-price engagements are available. Senior hourly consulting is $175/hour; fixed-price work has a proposal-defined scope and fee. We agree the model together based on the scope and your preferred budget controls.

How much should I plan for?
Our Working Prototype is $10,000, delivered in 4–6 weeks from the agreed kickoff. Larger MVP builds generally fall in $10k–$25k, and full-application work in $25k–$50k. Larger or multi-phase engagements may exceed $50k. Focused consulting or implementation is scoped to an agreed spending limit. These are engagement budgets, not a requirement to use a particular pricing model.

How are pricing and payments agreed?
The Working Prototype is a one-time $10,000 payment after scope and kickoff are confirmed. The accepted proposal confirms the scope, hourly rate or fixed fee, spending limit, and payment schedule before work begins. Hourly work follows the agreed time allowance and budget. Fixed-price retainers may use a prepaid total or a fixed weekly payment plan as specified in the proposal.

Does either pricing model guarantee every outcome?
No. Fixed-price fees cover the proposal-defined delivery phase and deliverables; hourly work covers the agreed engineering time. Unknown conditions and work outside the agreed scope are reviewed and approved separately for either model.
