# Investment

Price is an output of framing, never a point of entry.

We do not sell packages. This is how we reason, not what we charge.

1.  0 packages
2.  6 dials
3.  2 stages
4.  3 objections

## Do you sell packages?

No. No packages, no rate card, no "starting from" pricing.

Two projects that look alike on paper can demand very different work. We frame first — your business, your users, the real scope — and the investment follows from it. A number we will stand by, not a headline rate.

## What makes the investment move?

Six concrete dials — not a catalogue.

-   ### Scope

    the number of screens, journeys and business rules to cover.

-   ### Bespoke or existing

    building everything, or standing on blocks that are already there.

-   ### Native or hybrid

    one app per platform, or a shared cross-platform base.

-   ### Integrations

    payment, third-party tools, internal systems to connect.

-   ### The design system

    how much interface there is to draw and to tool up.

-   ### User volume

    the load to hold, and therefore the demands on the architecture.

The investment

None of them can be guessed from a distance. We set them together, during framing.

## How do you bill?

In two stages: a firm amount for the project, then support over time.

1.  ### The project first

    Scope set during framing, firm amount and firm schedule — you know where you are going before the first line of code.

2.  ### Then over time

    Maintenance and evolutions, as a monthly retainer or as one-off work. Launch is a beginning, not a final invoice.

1.  ## Why not a template or a lower-priced agency?

    Because the lowest price up front often ends up costing more later.

    A template makes you fit its mould; we start from yours. The lowest bid gets paid for later — a rebuild, technical debt, a product you put up with. And if a template is enough for what you need, we will tell you straight.

2.  ## Can the investment run away mid-project?

    That is exactly what framing is there to prevent.

    The estimate rests on a scope validated together, and we move by milestones — never a black box. If the scope widens, we price the difference first, and you decide.

3.  ## Why start with framing rather than a quote?

    Because a quote without framing is an assumption with a number on it.

    Framing turns the idea into a clear scope: priorities settled, key journeys, technical direction. What comes out of it — estimate and schedule — holds, because it rests on something real.
