What you pay, before you ask.
One term sheet per build discipline. A retainer is paid upfront; hours and pass-through costs sit on top and are named in the proposal. Most builds run 4–6 months, on average. The written scope names the date. Search uses Software Development terms for a project, and Presence for ongoing work. Data removal and the two published security tests have their own current rates on those pages. A build is invoiced after the scope. The Blueprint can be paid from this page.
The app is already in production. We read it, then we keep it running.
You shipped with an AI coding tool. Customers are on it. We read the code, look at the app the way a stranger on the internet would, then keep it patched.
Read the code
A written audit of the app that is already live: who can sign in, where secrets sit, which dependencies are old, and what to fix first.
We have the source.

The same app, as a stranger sees it from the public internet. Anything that probes the system waits until you confirm the target is yours and the scope is signed.
No source and no passwords.

Three term sheets.
Project-shaped growth work — AEO, technical SEO, custom marketing software, content systems — uses Software Development terms. Ongoing marketing sits on Presence. The operating layer, agents running through the night, sits on Mandate.

AI Agent Team Setup
Starter
$2,000fixed
See the setup
A start retainer opens a build. Mandate at $12,000 per month is the run after that work exists. Whatever the month, you have a direct line to RESILIENCE. A task that cannot wait is taken after hours.
It comes off the retainer.
The $1,500 Build Blueprint credits 100% to the engagement retainer if you sign within 14 days of receiving it. After that the blueprint is still yours and the full retainer is due. Hours, pass-through costs, and the monthlies are not reduced. Delivered within 7 business days of the kickoff call.

AI-Built App Security Check
$750fixed
Founding price: $500 for the first 3 clients, in exchange for a named testimonial and permission to publish an anonymized case study. Details
For founders whose app was built mostly with AI or no-code tools — Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Replit, v0, Bubble — often on Supabase, Firebase, or Vercel, before launch, a raise, or real users.
A read-only review of one app and one repo.
- Auth and data access: Supabase RLS, Firebase rules, cross-user data access, and unauthenticated admin or API routes.
- Exposed secrets: the repo, git history, the front-end bundle, and service keys reachable from the client.
- Vulnerable or abandoned dependencies.
- Config: public storage, CORS, open endpoints, and missing rate limits.
A written report within 5 business days of payment and working access. Findings are ranked Critical, High, Medium, and Low, with evidence. The top five fixes are in plain English, and the report names a recommended next step.
100% of the fee credits the $1,500 Build Blueprint.
You provide read-only repo access, the app URL, and one non-admin test account. We never ask for production data, admin keys, or passwords.
Code fixes, live attack or load testing, and compliance certification are not included. This is a point-in-time review. It is not a guarantee that the app is secure.
After the site ships.
Website, marketing, then conversations. Same senior engineer. Being found is not a ranking we can contract. A conversation arriving is not a pipeline we can fill on paper.

Front door
Websites & Apps builds the site and the contact form conversations land on.
- 02
Found
Automated Marketing makes the business citable, then sends the conversation to the form. No ranking promise. No lead count. No third-party pixel.
- 03
Conversations
Agentic lead systems research the category, engage, send people to that form, and page you. No lead-count promise.
Four retainers.
Each includes the one before it. The card names what you pay, the seats that work would otherwise take, and the model usage inside the month. Cancel anytime. Presence does not promise a ranking or a lead count.
- Software care
Keeping
$2,000/month
The month keeps the software we built in service. Hosting, maintenance, and updates are in it, with up to 3 hours of changes. Our own software watches the work and moves on a fault while it is still small. A senior engineer is on call for the critical, through the night. No agents run the business on this month. Hours past that allowance bill at $165/hour. Whatever the month, you have a direct line to RESILIENCE. A task that cannot wait is taken after hours. Cancel anytime.
- What you pay
- $2,000 a month, $24,000 a year
- Seats
- This month does not stand in for a staff seat. It keeps the software we built in service.
- Model usage
- No model usage is included. This month does not run agents. If a cost of running it appears, it is named on the invoice at cost.
- Website, app, and software care
- Up to 3 hours of changes, then $165/hour
- A watch that moves before a fault becomes an outage
- A senior engineer on call for the critical
- A direct line, including after hours
Read the discipline - Includes Keeping
Continuity
$4,500/month
Includes Keeping. One agent, still being developed, runs one repeating task through the night. A new agent still opens on its own engagement. Agent hours past the month bill at $220/hour. Model usage past the amount named for that month, and any other cost of running it, is named on the invoice at cost. We do not mark it up. Whatever the month, you have a direct line to RESILIENCE. A task that cannot wait is taken after hours.
- What you pay
- $4,500 a month, $54,000 a year
- Seats
- One person doing this task costs about $54,000 a year to employ, and that salary covers a day. The night is a second shift, about $108,000 for the two.
- Model usage
- $500 of model usage is included in the month. Past that, API usage is named on the invoice at cost. We do not mark it up.

Presence
$8,500/month

The agents research, engage, and bring the conversation to the form. No ranking promise. No lead count. Model usage past the amount named for that month, and any other cost of running it, is named on the invoice at cost. We do not mark it up. Whatever the month, you have a direct line to RESILIENCE. A task that cannot wait is taken after hours.

Mandate
$12,000/month
Includes Presence. The desk carries the work of five to seven people, and it does not close: leads, follow-ups, and replies, through the night. The reports and the dashboard are yours to read. We stay on the agents we wrote. A new product still opens its own engagement. We do not promise how many leads arrive. Model usage past the amount named for that month, and any other cost of running it, is named on the invoice at cost. We do not mark it up. Whatever the month, you have a direct line to RESILIENCE.

Discovery Call
We talk through what you're building, where the constraints sit, and what done looks like. No proposal in the first half hour. The call carries no obligation.

Build Blueprint
Delivered within 7 business days of the kickoff call. The plan names the work, the milestones and launch date, the stack, and the rate. It is yours either way. It is the written scope, and it is not a deposit on a fixed build.

The sheet opens
The $1,500 Build Blueprint credits 100% to the engagement retainer if you sign within 14 days of receiving it. After that the blueprint is still yours and the full retainer is due. Hours, pass-through costs, and the monthlies are not reduced. The invoice is the remainder of the retainer, then hourly. Continuity, Presence, and Mandate are optional after launch.
See the terms for your build.
Four questions. We'll return the engagement retainer, hourly rate, and horizon for that discipline. Hours and pass-through are not a project total — they are named in the proposal.
