Services & Pricing

AI-driven software development, product engineering, architecture, DevOps, and CTO support.

Pricing note: Listed prices are starting ranges / from prices for defined scopes. Final pricing depends on integrations, security requirements, timeline, and production-readiness. Lower ranges apply to compact MVPs, pilot implementations, and clearly bounded tasks.

Low-risk first step

Start with a bounded audit or workshop before committing to a larger build. Public prices stay standard; selected founding-client terms are handled privately.

Fixed first stage

Discovery, AI automation audit, and technical audit are scoped as fixed first steps with clear deliverables, timeline, and next-step estimate.

Deliverables-based refund

If a paid discovery or audit does not produce a clear technical roadmap, prioritized recommendations, and next-step estimate, the workshop fee can be refunded.

Founding client terms

Selected first clients may receive private 25-30% founding terms in exchange for a public case study, testimonial, and reference-call approval.

Where to start

Four clear entry points help choose the right first step before detailed estimation. From prices stay visible, but the path is clearer: qualify, audit, pilot, then build for production.

Building something unique? Share your high-level requirements and receive a tailored scope, delivery approach, and budget range within 24-48 hours.

Security, IP & compliance

Commercial B2B delivery needs clear ownership, confidentiality, and data-handling expectations before engineering starts.

100% IP Ownership

All rights to paid code, deliverables, architecture materials, and project-specific intellectual property are transferred to the client after payment, unless agreed otherwise in writing.

NDA First

An NDA can be signed before any detailed product, architecture, data, commercial, or investor discussion. Sensitive materials are handled on a need-to-know basis.

Compliance-ready delivery

Delivery can be aligned with GDPR and security-conscious workflows. HIPAA, SOC 2, healthcare, fintech, or regulated-sector requirements are scoped separately when relevant.

Proof & references

For confidential B2B work, public logos are not always possible. Relevant references and project context can be shared in a controlled way.

Private case studies

AI, SaaS, automation, and platform case-study details can be shared under NDA when they match your industry or use case.

Reference calls

For serious B2B projects, client references or founder-to-founder context can be arranged when confidentiality allows.

Transparent delivery

You receive clear scope, milestones, ownership terms, delivery assumptions, and risks before work starts.
