How we price: tests first, then a fixed price.

Every price is set before work starts, and we bring up money in the first five minutes of the first call. Quoted in US dollars, with the rupee amount beside it or at a fixed conversion rate agreed in the contract.

The diagnostic

Priced by testsThe number of tests your problem needs sets the price. Quoted before it starts.
  • The problem and what it costs you, signed off
  • Every test named before we begin
  • The ways that fail, and why
  • One signed page: the way that's left

Where each price fits

01Free

Talk

One 30-minute call. What is the problem, what is it costing you, and who decides?

02Priced by tests

Diagnose

Prescribed tests on your systems and data rule out the ways that won't work for you.

03Fixed price

Fix

We build the one way that passed, at a fixed price quoted after the diagnostic.

04Your call

Run or hand over

We run it with you, or hand it to your team with runbooks they can use without us.

What moves the price

Three things decide it.

1 · Tests

How many tests

Some problems need two tests, some need twenty. The count sets the diagnostic's price.

2 · Scope

How much has to change

One component, or the system around it.

3 · Access

How fast we get in

Data and system access decide how soon the tests can start.

What we never do

Four ways we won't win a deal.

  • Referral fees from vendors

    Nothing but fit decides which model or vendor runs your system.

  • Building before diagnosing

    Nothing starts without the tests. They are how we know it's the right thing to build.

  • "Pay only if it works"

    We price the work, not the outcome. The diagnostic tells you exactly what the work is.

  • Discounts without less scope

    We'd rather lose a deal than keep the work and cut the price.

Questions buyers ask

About money.

Is this outcome-based pricing?

No. We price the work, not the result. The diagnostic tells us what the work is, and the fix is a fixed price for that work.

Why isn't there a price list?

Because two problems that look the same can need different tests. We quote once we know which tests yours needs, before anything starts.

Do you bill in rupees?

Prices are set in US dollars with the rupee amount beside them, or at a fixed conversion rate agreed in the contract.

Can we buy a build without a diagnostic?

No. Nothing starts without a diagnosis: it's how we know we're building the right thing.
