What does it cost?
I quote a fixed price per workflow, after the paid assessment. The price depends on how many systems the job connects and how many approval steps it needs, and it's on paper before the build starts. Two things are free: the 15-minute call, and fixes for 30 days after launch. Everything else is paid.
What happens to the assessment fee?
If you go ahead with the build, the fee is credited toward it.
How long does a project take?
The assessment usually takes one to two weeks. A single workflow usually takes two to six weeks to build and test, depending on how many systems it connects. Your assessment plan gives you the range for your job.
Do I have to host it myself?
You choose. It can run in your own accounts, where you keep admin control, or I can host and run it for a monthly fee. Either way, you own the code and the docs.
You're one person. What if you disappear?
You own the code and the docs, so another developer can pick the system up and run it. Every build comes with a walkthrough and written docs for that reason. A person on your side still approves anything that goes to a customer.
Which systems do you work with?
Usually the ones you already have: accounting software, spreadsheets, inboxes, a CRM and messaging apps are common. If a job can't be done cleanly in your setup, I'll tell you on the call.
Where does my data go? Does it train AI models?
That depends on where you choose to run the build, and you get a one-page note that shows exactly where it goes. Where AI is used, I use production-grade business services whose terms rule out training on your data.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. I sign one before the first discovery session. If you have your own, send it over.
Will anything go to my customers without someone checking?
By default, no. Reminders, replies and updates wait for a person on your team to approve them.
Can I start with one small job?
Yes, and I'd suggest it. I quote one workflow at a time. Once the first one is running, you decide whether there's a second.
Will there be software costs on top?
AI usage and third-party service fees are covered by the monthly fee I bill for care or hosting. If the build runs in your own accounts without monthly care, those services bill your accounts directly, and the assessment plan lists them.
You're in Bangalore. Does the time difference matter?
I work in IST and reply within one business day. Most of the work happens between calls, so the time difference mainly affects when you hear back.
What happens after handover?
You keep the code and the docs. For 30 days after launch I fix problems with the build for free. After that, monthly care covers running costs, monitoring, fixes and small changes, billed monthly.
