HOW WE WORK & PRICING
Fixed price, senior hands, built to be handed over.
Every engagement is priced against a defined outcome before it starts, led personally by Brannan, and finished when your team owns the result. This page sets out how that works in practice, and roughly what it costs.

The principles behind the price
Outcome, not hours
We agree what done looks like and a price for it. If it takes longer, that's our problem; if it's faster, you still get the outcome.
Your stack, your accounts
Everything is built in your repos, cloud and AI accounts. You own the IP and the running costs are visible to you from day one.
Confidentiality by default
NDA before any data or code is seen. Client work is described anonymously unless you'd like it named.
A defined end
Handover is part of the scope, not an extra. Retainers are offered where they help, never assumed.
