Frequently Asked Questions
How much will my project cost?
It depends on scope. Ad-hoc work starts at $150/hour. Fixed projects and retainers are quoted after a free consultation. Past engagements have ranged from a few hours of discovery work to multi-year retainers in the six figures.
What's your hourly rate?
$150/hour for ad-hoc work. Fixed projects and retainers are priced on scope, not hours.
Do you work on fixed-price or hourly projects?
Both. Defined projects are fixed-fee so you know the cost upfront. Ad-hoc work and discovery phases are hourly. Ongoing work is typically a retainer, billed weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
Is there a minimum project size?
No minimum. A short discovery document or a small fix is just as welcome as a multi-month build.
Can I start with a small 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.
