Your core features get a fixed price. Changes you discover along the way are billed by the hour. You know what the foundation costs, and you still have room to learn from real users.

Best for: Funded products with a clear core and changes you expect along the way.

## What you get

- Fixed price for core features
- Hourly billing for changes and extras
- One project manager as your contact
- Weekly demos of working software
- Every change agreed in writing first

## How it works

- Discovery workshop: Together we define the core features and their acceptance criteria. These become the fixed-price foundation.
- Flexible budget: We usually suggest keeping 15 to 25% of the budget for changes, user feedback and what you learn along the way.
- Two tracks, one team: Core features move on schedule. Flexible items are prioritised each sprint by what matters most right now.
- One launch: Everything comes together in one product, built by one team, on the date in your plan.
