Commercial FAQs
How do payments work?
For fixed-scope projects, we typically structure payments in milestones (e.g., 50% upfront, 50% on completion). For monthly retainers, billing occurs on the 1st of every month.
Fixed price or hourly?
We almost exclusively work on fixed-price contracts or flat monthly retainers. This aligns our incentives—we focus on delivering value quickly, rather than billing for hours.
Can we start small?
Absolutely. We often recommend starting with a Validation Blueprint or a targeted SEO Audit before moving into a full-scale build or retainer.
Can pricing change after discovery?
If the scope remains the same, your price remains the same. If discovery reveals that significant new features are required, we will always provide a revised quote for your approval before writing a single line of code.
Do you work internationally?
Yes. The majority of our clients are based in the US, UK, and Australia. We adapt to your time zones for key syncs and maintain asynchronous communication.
Can we hire you after launch?
Yes. Most of our clients transition into an Optimization & Scale retainer or a Long-Term Product Partnership to continually grow their product.
Can you work with our internal team?
Yes. We often act as an embedded strike team working alongside internal engineering or marketing departments.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, we are happy to sign standard NDAs before any discovery calls or deep dives into your proprietary data.
What happens after discovery?
You receive a clear, actionable roadmap and a fixed-price proposal. You own the strategy and can choose to build it with us or take it to another team.
