How an engagement runs
30-minute discovery call
You describe the suite, the CI and what hurts. We say whether an audit makes sense.
One-week paid audit
We measure flaky rate, CI time and coverage, and hand you a written report with a 30/60/90-day plan.
Proposal with two options
A few business days after the report, each option with a fixed price and a defined scope.
Statement of work
Fixed-price work is 50% upfront. Retainers are billed monthly, net-15. Either side can stop with the stop-work clause.
NDA on request before you share anything. DPA for EU companies. VAT is reverse-charged for EU businesses with a valid VAT number and not applied for non-EU companies.
FAQ
Questions about pricing
Why is the audit paid?
It is a week of senior engineering time and it produces a report you keep whether or not we continue. An unpaid audit is a sales call with a checklist. The paid one is the first deliverable.
What does "from" mean?
The price for the smallest scope we accept. The audit fixes the real scope and the proposal states a fixed price for it. What moves the price: number of flows, number of CI platforms, monorepo size, and how much test-data setup the app needs.
How is VAT handled?
EU companies with a valid VAT number are invoiced with reverse charge. Non-EU companies are invoiced without VAT. Romanian companies pay Romanian VAT.
Do you sign an NDA and a DPA?
Yes. We sign yours or send ours before the discovery call if you prefer. A DPA is standard for EU clients. No production data is used in tests.
Who does the work?
The engineer named in the proposal. For audit, Foundation and migration work that is the founder. A dedicated SDET is a senior engineer the founder has worked with before, reviewed by the founder for the first two weeks. No senior-to-junior swap after signing.
What if we stop after the audit?
You keep the report and the plan and can run it with your own engineers. There is no obligation to continue.
