Primary engagement option

Hourly — for buyers who want staff aug

If you already have a team and you need senior AI capacity dropped in — architecture review, implementation help, debugging a flaky production system, un-blocking a stuck integration — book hourly. No minimum commitment, pay only for hours used. This is the Consult tier on our pricing page.

Alternative

Fixed-price — for full builds

If you want a finished product in your hands rather than billable hours, go fixed-price. Build tier covers $10K-$25K projects in 2-4 weeks. Scale tier covers $25K-$50K platforms in 4-8 weeks. Same lead, same hands, scope locked at quote, refund if we miss timeline.
