Custom scope is defined after discovery for broader requirements across multi-team operations, complex data synchronizations, or extended software deployments.
Included
- Multi-system scope defined after initial discovery
- Priced from the budget range you provide
- Written scope, milestones, and deliverables before any work
- Never sold before smaller diagnostic or proof stages
Not included
- Not offered as a generic fixed price
- Not offered without discovery
PAYMENT AND SCOPE
You approve the scope before you pay.
Each tier is issued as a written scope covering deliverables, exclusions, timeline, and price. The fee is payable before work starts, and the engagement runs to that scope. If the scope needs to change, it is re-quoted and re-approved first.
Payment is handled through a fixed invoice. There is no subscription, no per-seat licence, and no automatic renewal. Finite payment options are available on eligible implementation engagements.
