How It Works

Three layers. One continuous partnership.

Layer 1

Prove It

The Activation Sprint is where every engagement starts. In 2-3 weeks, we deliver a working prototype built against your real data — not mockups, not wireframes, real software you can use.

Working prototype in 2-3 weeks

Real software running against your data, not slides or mockups.

$5,000 flat fee

No hourly billing, no surprise overruns. Fixed price, fixed scope.

Low risk to say yes

See results before committing to a full build. Walk away with the prototype either way.

Activation Sprint Timeline

1

Week 1 — Discovery

Deep dive into your problem, data, and goals. We map out what the prototype will do and how it connects to your systems.

2

Week 2 — Build

We build the working prototype, integrating with your real data and systems. You see progress along the way.

3

Week 3 — Deliver

Working prototype deployed to staging. You use it, test it, and decide if it is worth building into a full system.

Example Backlog

Dashboard with live metrics

Report builder & PDF export

Monthly allocation 40 points
Layer 2

Build the System

Once the prototype proves the concept, you subscribe to a points-based build plan. We turn that prototype into a production-grade system, shipping real capabilities every sprint.

Standard

40 pts/mo

$3,500/mo

~1 major capability per month. Best for steady, focused development.

Accelerated

70 pts/mo

$5,500/mo

~1.5-2 capabilities per month. Best for aggressive timelines.

No change orders, ever
Predictable monthly cost
Layer 3

Run & Evolve

Software is never "done." Once the build phase is complete, you transition to an evolution plan. The system stays healthy, secure, and competitive — growing with your business.

Maintain

8 pts / $750/mo

Bug fixes, security patches, minor tweaks. Keep the lights on.

Evolve

15 pts / $1,250/mo

Steady improvements and new features. Your system keeps getting better.

Grow

25 pts / $1,800/mo

Active feature development at a sustainable pace. For systems that need to keep moving forward.

Scale up for feature bursts, scale down during quiet periods
Your software never goes stale
Change tiers anytime — takes effect next month

Flexible Scaling

Jan — Maintain 8 pts
Feb — Maintain 8 pts
Mar — Grow 25 pts
Apr — Grow 25 pts
May — Evolve 15 pts
Jun — Maintain 8 pts

Scale up when you need features, scale back down when things are stable. No penalties, no contracts.

The Points System

How Points Work

Points measure complexity, not hours. A 5-point item might take 2 hours or 8 — you pay the same either way. This keeps things predictable and aligned.
