Pricing
Fixed prices, published.
Every build ships at a fixed price against a signed scope. The table below is the same one your scope one-pager quotes from.
From $7K. Most builds land $18K–$38K.

The note
Why we publish pricing.
Most firms in this market hide the number. The quote arrives after two calls, shaped by whatever budget you revealed on the first one. We think that is backwards.
Published pricing does three things. It saves your time: if $7K to $65K is not your range, you know before a single call. It disciplines us: a public number cannot inflate to match your funding announcement. And it keeps the scope conversation honest, because the open variable is what ships, not what you will bear.
The ranges are real. Starter lands at $7K to $14K because one production workflow takes one to two weeks on our pipeline. Standard lands at $18K to $38K because a full MVP takes three to four. The number you sign is fixed in a scope one-pager before kickoff, and it moves only through a signed change order.
A typical outside quote for the same build runs $80K to $150K over four to six months. We print our numbers because the math survives daylight. A price that cannot be printed is not a price. It is an opening position.
Founding clients
Founding slots, while they last.
The first builds publish their receipts as named case studies, and founding slots are reserved for Standard and Platform builds. When they fill, they are gone.
After 3 named case studies, every tier floor moves ~20%.
