How it works
Week 0: Kickoff
Surface alignment workshop. SOW v3.2 countersigned. Phase 1 invoice paid. Both sides sign off on what the MVP must do.
MVP build
Design, build, and deploy on your stack. Production system, not a demo. First outputs run under real load.
Iteration
Two months of tuning against real data. Billed monthly ($6,500/mo) in the same SOW. Not optional, not renegotiated.
Handoff
Full operational runbook, ownership transfer, metrics baseline. Case study coauthored with editorial veto intact.
One named surface: common picks
Your surface doesn't have to be on this list. The intake call will tell you whether it fits.
The trade (why Phase 1 is $5k, not $15k+)
- 1. Named logo on our site, decks, and pitch materials.
- 2. Coauthored written case study with unconditional editorial veto on every word and number. Decline publication and you keep every deliverable. No clawback.
- 3. 2 minute video case study recorded at week 14 handoff. Same editorial veto.
Phase 2 is billed at the low end of our standard retainer. The case study trade doesn't extend to iteration. No CSR variant: $7,500 + $6,500/mo × 2 = $20,500 total. Same scope, same operating standards.
