Why publish pricing ranges?

So you can self-qualify before we talk. Final quotes depend on scope, stack complexity, and timeline — but you should never be surprised by ballpark numbers.

Is the architecture review really free?

Yes. You get a 30-min call and a written async report with specific recommendations. We only propose paid work if there is a clear, measurable fit.

What if my budget is below $15k?

Start with the free review. We often point smaller teams toward the highest-leverage fixes they can do in-house, or suggest a narrower scoped engagement.
