What we build, with real numbers attached.

Every line below is a range because scope varies — the exact price is fixed in writing before work starts, so you’ll never get a surprise invoice. Your agency marks these up to your clients however you see fit; a 1.5–2× markup is typical for white-label work.

Each line below carries an example build. They’re illustrative — the shape of the work, not client case studies.

Every relationship starts with the $1,000 pilot. Builds are quoted per-project from these ranges; a monthly retainer is for agencies shipping work every month — how the two fit together is on the pricing page.

AI agents

$3,000–$8,000 / build

Document processing, triage, and research — agents that carry a task from input to finished output, with permissions scoped as carefully as the goal.

Example build: an intake agent that reads inbound documents, extracts the terms into the CRM, and files anything ambiguous into a human review queue.

AI chatbots

$3,000–$8,000 / build

Support assistants and internal knowledge bots grounded in your client’s real content, with escalation paths and analytics. We scope what the bot must refuse as carefully as what it answers.

Example build: support assistant grounded in the client’s help center, hands off to a human with full transcript, reports deflection rate monthly.

Voice AI

$4,000–$12,000 / build

Agents that answer the phone: after-hours coverage, intake qualification, appointment booking — with a transfer path to a human and a transcript of every call.

Example build: an after-hours line that answers, books into the calendar, and emails the owner a transcript by morning.

Workflow automation

$2,500–$7,500 / build

Production-grade workflow automation on n8n, Make, or custom code: lead intake and enrichment, quote generation, reporting pipelines, back-office ops. Not demos — monitored, error-handled, documented systems.

Example build: a lead-to-proposal automation — form submissions enriched, scored, and drafted into proposals overnight, reviewed by a human each morning.

API integrations

$2,000–$10,000 / build

The glue between systems your clients already pay for: CRM, billing, fulfillment, and warehouse, kept in sync. Includes auth handling, retries, idempotency — the parts that separate production from demo.

Example build: HubSpot-to-Stripe two-way sync with conflict rules and audit log.

Web applications

$8,000–$25,000 / build

Client portals, dashboards, booking systems, internal tools. Next.js/TypeScript by default, deployed to your client’s own accounts, handed over with docs and a maintenance option.

Example build: branded client portal with usage dashboards, role-based access, and Stripe billing.

Maintenance & support

$200–$500 / site / mo

We keep what we ship running: uptime monitoring, dependency updates, small changes, incident response — under your brand, with a monthly report you can forward straight to your client.

Includes a monthly white-label report formatted for your letterhead.

Process

How an engagement runs.

  1. DAY 0

    Discovery

    A 20-minute fit call, then a written spec with milestones and dates. You sign off before any work starts.

  2. WEEKS 1–2

    Pilot

    One fixed-scope build for $1,000 flat. The full amount is credited toward month one of any retainer.

    14 DAYS — CREDITED TO MONTH 1
  3. WEEK 3+

    Development

    Async progress notes in your Slack as milestones land. Founder QA passes every build before you see it.

  4. SHIP DAY

    Launch

    Handover of repos, credentials, and docs to accounts you control. No license-back — the work is yours.

  5. MONTH 2+

    Support

    A care plan at $200–$500 per site per month, with a white-label report formatted for your letterhead. Month-to-month.

FIG. 02DELIVERY PIPELINE
How we build

Every build runs the same seven steps.

  1. Idea

    The client’s ask, written as a problem and the outcome that defines done.

    Deliverable: Problem brief
  2. Architecture

    Data model, services, and integrations mapped before a line of code is written.

    Deliverable: System map
  3. Design

    Interfaces for apps, logic for automations — drawn to your client’s brand, signed off before the build starts.

    Deliverable: Design spec
  4. Development

    Built in milestones, each pushed to the project repository as it lands.

    Deliverable: Working build
  5. QA

    Founder review against the spec: behavior, edge cases, and security.

    Deliverable: Test report
  6. Deploy

    Shipped to your infrastructure with docs, credentials, and a runbook.

    Deliverable: Handover pack
  7. Iterate

    Release data and feedback reopen the architecture and scope the next cycle.
