Scoping session
$2,500–$6,000
One to two weeks. We map the process you run today, find the expensive step, and write the scope, the architecture and the fixed quote. Credited against the build if you proceed.

One to two weeks. We map the process you run today, find the expensive step, and write the scope, the architecture and the fixed quote. Credited against the build if you proceed.
Four to eight weeks. One process done properly: an estimating tool, an intake flow, a dashboard, a document generator. One or two user roles.
Portals, ordering, booking and field apps. The top of the range is where payments, mobile builds and offline sync all appear together.
Three to six months, released weekly. Several roles, real integrations, document generation, reporting and migration of the history you already have.
Then $2,000–$6,000 per month to run it: monitoring, evaluation, improvement and model costs included in the number.
Hosting oversight, dependency and security updates, monitoring, and a monthly window for small improvements. Optional — you can take the whole thing instead.
A quote is mostly a function of how much of your existing world the software has to be polite to. Greenfield is cheap; other people's systems are not.
Because the first thing anyone needs to know is whether this is a $15,000 conversation or a $150,000 one. Making you book a call to find that out wastes both sides' time.
Integrations with systems that have no usable API, migrating years of messy historical data, compliance review, multiple user roles with different permissions, and anything that has to work offline.
No. Scoping is a fixed fee; the build is a fixed quote against a written scope. Change orders are priced the same way, so you are never watching a meter.
Either you take it — repository in your organization, infrastructure in your accounts — or we keep running it on a care plan from $750 per month.
