How we price

A clear quote for defined work.

Quoted for your scope

No rate card. After a 30-minute call we send a written scope and a quote that fits what you actually need.

Fixed before we start

The fee is agreed before any work begins. If the scope changes, we agree the change first, so there are no surprise invoices.

Credit toward what's next

The Diagnostic fee is credited against any follow-on work, so starting small never costs you twice.
