Three ways to engage. Each one fixed in scope and price before we begin.
No T&M. No staff augmentation. No mystery line items. We agree on the work and the number, write them down, and stick to them.
Discovery
A scoped, paid investigation. The output is a one-page artefact that defines the project we would deliver — including the things we would refuse to.
Engagement
The build. One senior pair, working against the Discovery scope. Weekly demos, fixed budget, and a written hand-over at the end.
Retainer
Ongoing capacity for clients we have already built with. Use it for new metrics, model evals, on-call review, or quietly turning the cloud bill down.
Pricing, with the awkward questions answered.
Why fixed-price and not T&M?
Because we sell outcomes, not hours. If we can't scope something tightly enough to fix the price, we don't know enough to do it well yet — and we say so.
What if the scope changes mid-engagement?
We sign a written change order with a delta on price and timeline. Either party can decline. We have never quietly absorbed scope, on either side.
Can you sub-contract or grow the team?
No. We bring the same two senior people you met at scoping. If a project is bigger than that, we say so before we sign.
Do you do staff augmentation?
No. There are good firms that do; we are not one of them.
What about hosting / SaaS / model bills?
Pass-through at cost, billed monthly with the actual provider invoice attached. We don't mark up infrastructure.
What about IP?
Yours, on payment. We retain a non-exclusive right to reference the engagement in casework, with your written approval on any specifics.
Above the
threshold,
everything
becomes signal.
30-minute scoping call, no decks. We'll tell you whether ReluFX is the right fit for the work — and who is, if not.
