Frequently asked questions.

What if my project requirements change mid-development?

Fixed-price: minor changes absorbed, larger ones require change orders. Hourly: estimates adjust as needed.

Can I start with a small 84EM project first?

Yes. Many engagements begin with a smaller scope, such as a fixed-price discovery phase, a scoped advisory engagement, or a defined first project.

Ad-hoc hourly work can also serve as a starting point.

This is a common way to establish working fit before committing to larger work.

What happens after an 84EM project launches?

30-day free post-launch support period. Monthly maintenance retainers available for ongoing development, security, monitoring, and support.

How do I get started with 84EM?

Contact 84EM to discuss your requirements, timeline, and budget. No commitment required.
