THE GIVEN CYCLE

Sit down. Dream. Build. Own.

This is how an engagement actually runs, start to finish. It isn't a framework invented for a pitch deck — it's the shape of real work with real clients, and it's flexible on purpose. Every job is different.

FREE · AT YOUR TABLE WHERE POSSIBLE

The sit-down.

60% listening, 40% talking. You tell us everything you wish existed — not just the loudest problem, the whole list. We leave with your dreams written down in your words, and you leave with zero obligation.

ONE PAGE · DAYS, NOT WEEKS

The quote.

We scope the first phase and put it on one page: price, timeline, what's included — and 14 days of post-launch tweaks, standard. Future ideas get named, not billed. The price is a project, never a subscription.

AI POWER TOOLS · BORING DEPENDABLE TECH

The build.

AI does the heavy lifting; you get plain, dependable software — web pages, scripts, spreadsheets that work the same way tomorrow as they did today. You see a working demo early and react to something real. Longer builds get a weekly check-in: demo, tweak, next.

THE WHOLE POINT

The handoff.

"You own it" is a checklist, not a phrase:

  • Every account in your name — never ours.
  • A register of what exists, where it lives, who has access.
  • A plain-English "State of the System" document.
  • A real walkthrough — training, not a link dump.
  • 14 days of included tweaks after handoff.
FLAT FEE · ON REQUEST · NO STRINGS

The return visit.

Something breaks, or a small fix or tweak comes up? We come back, sort it for a flat $150–250, and then it's done again. Not a retainer. Not a subscription. Not an expectation. A whole new build — another tool, another site, a major addition — is its own quote, not a return visit. Because you own the code, anyone can maintain it — us, another developer, or your own team. Or skip the phone call entirely: an optional Care plan carries hosting, upkeep, and fixes for you, month to month — cancel anytime, everything keeps working.

Held loosely on purpose. A church database, a contractor's estimator, and a shop's website don't run on the same rails — so the cycle bends to the job, not the other way around. The two things that never bend: the consult is free, and you own what we build.
