§ Common questions

The answers founders ask us in call one.

Why fixed-scope instead of time & materials?

Open-ended engagements are how projects slip. We'd rather negotiate scope than negotiate a timeline — so you always know what you're getting and when.

What's not included in these numbers?

Third-party licenses (hosting, LLM API usage, SaaS tools), production hardening beyond our standard checklist, and ongoing SRE after warranty. We quote these transparently in the SOW.

Do you take equity?

Occasionally, as a partial offset for the Build tier — only when the problem genuinely excites the team and the business case is strong. Ask us.

Can we start smaller?

Yes. The Discovery Sprint is designed exactly for this. It's a $9.5k commitment to find out if we're the right partner before anyone signs a six-figure Build SOW.

Still comparing options?

Book a 30-minute call. We'll help you figure out which tier fits — or tell you honestly if we're not the right studio for the problem.
