Same work. Two ways to price it.
You are not buying hours, design, or marketing. You are buying compressed time-to-working-product from someone who has shipped it across fintech, trading infrastructure and consumer apps. Which number sounds reasonable depends entirely on what you compare it to — so pick a frame.
One of these fits. That is the whole conversation.
Prices are published so they are never negotiated downward — only scoped. Click a tier to see what you actually get.
The Blueprint
A paid architecture engagement. I scope the product, design the stack, and hand you a technical roadmap plus a fixed quote for the build.
The Sprint
A working product, deployed, documented and handed off. Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed in the Blueprint before a line is written.
The Partner Retainer
Fractional CTO and lead builder. The arrangement my friends have been using informally, written down and made predictable.
The tiers are the tiers. If a number needs to exist that isn't on this page, the Blueprint produces it as a document — after the work of scoping is done and paid for. Nobody quotes a build live across a table, including me.
A standing 10% referral fee on every Sprint turns fifty people who already send work my way into an incentivised channel that costs nothing until it pays. If you have sent someone here, that applies to you retroactively.
Two build slots per quarter. That is not scarcity theatre.
A Sprint is four to six weeks of one person's actual attention. The arithmetic below is the honest ceiling — not a growth target, and not an agency pretending to be scaled.
