Planning guidance

Typical engagement ranges, not instant quotations

The published ranges help decision-makers plan responsibly without pretending that different customer journeys, systems, and risks are interchangeable. Every engagement receives a defined scope and written proposal.

Every engagement has a defined scope.

Clients receive a written proposal.

Scope and exclusions are confirmed before work begins.

Uncertain projects may begin with paid discovery.

Payments are divided into milestones.

Third-party costs are identified separately.

Engagement 1

Cloud and SaaS Check

$3k–$10k

Best for:Organizations with cloud bills, servers, software subscriptions, or access that need a clear, fixed-price review before changing anything.

A fixed-price look at your cloud bills, servers, software subscriptions and licenses, and access, with a plain-English report on what's wasting money, what's risky, and what to fix first.

A plain-English report: what's wasting money, what's risky, and what to fix first.

Potential scope

  • Cloud billing and resource review
  • Idle and oversized resource identification
  • Usage and ownership analysis
  • Prioritized optimization recommendations
  • Approved changes and measurement planning

How scope is confirmed

  • The proposal identifies covered systems, access requirements, and responsibilities.
  • Changes require approval and validation against agreed criteria.
  • Third-party usage costs and ongoing support are identified separately.

This is a representative scope. Final deliverables, exclusions, and acceptance criteria are agreed before work begins.

Engagement 2

Cleanup Sprint (10–14 days)

$4.5k–$12k

Best for:Organizations with a known list of priority fixes, usually from a Cloud and SaaS Check, who want them done in one focused stretch.

I fix the priority items: cut waste, close security gaps, and move or retire old servers. You approve every change before it happens.

Priority waste cut, security gaps closed, and old servers moved or retired, with every change approved first.

Potential scope

  • Cut the priority waste from your Cloud and SaaS Check
  • Close the access and configuration gaps that matter most
  • Move or retire old servers
  • Hand over notes on what changed and who owns it

How scope is confirmed

  • The price and the list of fixes are agreed before I start.
  • You approve every change before it happens.
  • Larger migrations or security projects are scoped separately.

This is a representative scope. Final deliverables, exclusions, and acceptance criteria are agreed before work begins.

Engagement 3

Cloud Security Hardening

$5k–$15k

Best for:Growing businesses and organizations that need to understand and reduce risk in their cloud environment.

Reduce risk, strengthen your cloud posture, and protect your business.

Prioritize security improvements, implement approved changes, and document remaining risks.

Potential scope

  • Cloud configuration and access review
  • Prioritized security findings
  • Approved hardening changes
  • Secrets-handling and permission review
  • Validation and remaining-risk documentation

How scope is confirmed

Engagement 4

Cloud Infrastructure Modernization

$7k–$25k

Best for:Organizations that need a modern cloud foundation or a planned migration from an existing environment.

Move from fragile and outdated → stable, scalable, and cloud-native.

Establish maintainable infrastructure, clear deployment practices, and a documented operational handoff.

Potential scope

  • Architecture and environment planning
  • Vercel, Supabase, Sanity, and Cloudflare where appropriate
  • Deployment workflows and configuration
  • Migration dependencies and rollback planning
  • Operational documentation and handoff

How scope is confirmed

  • The proposal identifies covered systems, access requirements, and responsibilities.
  • Changes require approval and validation against agreed criteria.
  • Third-party usage costs and ongoing support are identified separately.

This is a representative scope. Final deliverables, exclusions, and acceptance criteria are agreed before work begins.

Managed Support

Planned support with clear capacity and boundaries

Managed Support is designed for ongoing ownership, scheduled improvements, and technical guidance. Each plan has defined service time and response targets so expectations remain practical on both sides.

Monthly support

Ongoing Care

$1k–$3k per month

Organizations that want scheduled check-ins, updates, and cost and security reviews after the cleanup.

Scheduled check-ins, updates, and cost and security reviews so your cloud stays clean. Scheduled support, not 24/7 coverage.

Potential scope

  • Scheduled cloud maintenance
  • Security configuration reviews
  • Resource and cost reviews
  • Deployment support within agreed scope
  • Documented service capacity and response targets

Keep infrastructure priorities moving with agreed service capacity and support boundaries.

Support boundaries

Response targets describe the normal service goal; they are not guaranteed emergency response times. Actual plan terms are documented in the support agreement.

  • No unlimited edits
  • No unrestricted meetings
  • No 24/7 support
  • No guaranteed emergency response
  • No unused-hour rollover
  • No complete new features inside routine support
  • Third-party fees are separate

What affects investment

The range reflects the work, responsibility, and risk involved

These variables are not a list of surprise fees. They help determine how much strategy, design, development, coordination, testing, and long-term stewardship the project requires.

1

Environment and scope

  • Cloud accounts and services
  • Architecture complexity
  • Access requirements
  • Operational priorities
2

Dependencies and risk

  • Integrations
  • Data sensitivity
  • Migration requirements
  • Validation and rollback needs
3

Delivery and support

  • Stakeholder coordination
  • Timeline constraints
  • Documentation and handoff
  • Ongoing service capacity

Payment schedules

Payments follow the size and duration of the engagement

Milestone billing keeps financial expectations connected to project progress. The proposal and agreement confirm the actual schedule for each engagement.

Projects under $10,000

  1. 150% deposit
  2. 250% before launch or final handoff

Projects from $10,000–$25,000

  1. 140% deposit
  2. 230% after architecture or remediation-plan approval
  3. 330% before launch

Larger or longer projects

  1. 1Paid discovery
  2. 2Milestone billing
  3. 3Monthly implementation invoicing when appropriate

Work begins after a signed agreement and required deposit.

Final launch or handoff follows receipt of required payments.

Actual terms are confirmed in the proposal and agreement.

Third-party costs and ownership

External services stay visible in the project plan

Third-party expenses are paid directly by the client where practical or clearly identified and billed separately. This keeps recurring costs, vendors, and account responsibilities understandable before launch.

Ownership approach

Client account ownership is preferred where practical. Intellectual-property transfer, licenses, reusable tools, and third-party components are governed by the signed agreement.

Costs that may be separate

  • Cloud usage
  • Domains and DNS services
  • Platform subscriptions
  • Software licenses
  • Email services
  • Specialist services

Scope changes and boundaries

Clear boundaries protect the outcome and the working relationship

A defined scope is not meant to make the project inflexible. It gives everyone a shared plan and a calm way to evaluate new information, new requests, and schedule changes.

What the project documents establish

  • Proposals identify deliverables and exclusions.
  • Revision rounds and client responsibilities are defined.
  • New requests may require a written change order or separate estimate.
  • Timelines may change when content, feedback, or approvals are delayed.
  • Paused projects may need to be rescheduled around current commitments.
  • Managed Support does not replace separate scoping for new projects or features.
Investment FAQs

Questions about investment, ownership, and next steps

These answers explain the usual approach without replacing the project-specific terms documented in a proposal and signed agreement.

Environment complexity, cloud accounts, dependencies, data sensitivity, access constraints, migration needs, validation, and support capacity shape the scope and price.

Often, yes. A scoped assessment or focused implementation can address a useful priority first. The proposal identifies dependencies and what can follow later.

Projects under $10,000 generally use two payments; projects from $10,000–$25,000 generally use three. Larger or longer engagements may use milestone or monthly implementation billing. Actual terms are confirmed in the agreement.

Deliverables, exclusions, authorized systems, and responsibilities are agreed before work starts. Additional requests are reviewed through a written change order, separate estimate, or later phase.

Cloud usage, platform subscriptions, licenses, and other third-party costs are separate unless explicitly included in the agreement.

Client ownership is preferred where practical. Access, intellectual property, licenses, and third-party responsibilities are documented before work begins.

The proposal defines the operational documentation, validation records, and handoff included in the engagement. The scope follows the changes being delivered and your team’s needs.

The current environment, dependencies, access, and maintenance history are reviewed before recommending improvements, migration, or replacement.

No. Security improvements reduce identified risks but cannot eliminate every threat. Cost recommendations and realized savings depend on usage, constraints, implementation, and the measurement period.

The agreed handoff may include validation, documentation, team training, and a defined support period. Ongoing Care can be scoped for ongoing needs.

A scoped assessment may be recommended when the environment, dependencies, risks, or requirements are too uncertain to estimate implementation responsibly. Its deliverables and price are agreed separately.

Yes. Responsibilities, access authorization, change approvals, handoffs, and technical boundaries are defined together during scoping.
