HOW AN ENGAGEMENT STARTS

  1. 30-minute scope call.
  2. Written scope, price and date agreed before work starts.
  3. Weekly diff during the engagement.
  4. Handover of files, sources and access into your own accounts.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

No retainer without a scope. No deliverable whose claims cannot be traced to a page. See the FAQ.
