You cannot fix a price on a question.

You know something has to change, not yet what to build. We work in short blocks, each with a clear measurable goal, metered in quarter-day units. It ends when the goal is met, not when the budget runs out.

The work is reducing the uncertainty, and the answers live in your business rather than ours. So it is done with you, until the undefined is specific enough to price.

The output is a spec and a signed done-test. What follows is fixed price, with the risk on us.

About a fifth of what we do. If the scope can be fixed, we fix it.
