Priced like engineering.
Four ways to engage. Each itemized, milestone-billed, and documented before work begins.
Discovery
Fixed-fee engagement that produces the findings document, specification, and quote. Priced by scope complexity and stated up front on the first call.
Fixed-scope project
The specification gets a fixed price and milestone schedule. You pay per delivered milestone, and change requests are quoted separately before any work happens.
Ongoing development program
A standing engineering roadmap delivered as a sequence of fixed-scope, fixed-price releases — planned with you, budgeted in advance, and reported against delivered work. Continuous improvement with project discipline, not an open meter.
Support & care
Post-launch monitoring, updates, and fixes, delivered through the parent company's managed services operation — scope and service levels defined in your agreement.
// common questions
Pricing questions
Why no prices on this page yet?
Because honest numbers beat marketing numbers. Foundry publishes rate ranges once the launch engagement wave completes, so the figures reflect real delivered projects rather than placeholders. Every quote you receive is itemized and fixed for the defined scope.
Will a quote change mid-project?
Not for the defined scope. The specification you approve is the price you pay, milestone by milestone. Scope changes are written up, priced, and approved before they enter the schedule.
How is licensing handled?
In writing, per engagement. Bespoke builds typically transfer deliverables to the client; productized platforms and certain components are delivered under license with the terms stated before work begins. Either way, nothing is discovered later.
Do you bill hourly?
No. Every engagement is scoped, quoted, and delivered at a fixed price — projects, programs, and support alike. Hourly meters reward slow work and punish efficient engineering; fixed scope puts the estimating risk on us, where it belongs.
Is there a minimum engagement?
Discovery is the first step for project work. Smaller improvements and integrations are scheduled as fixed-scope releases within an ongoing development program, which keeps enterprise discipline on small work without procurement overhead.
// next step
Want a real number?
Bring us the problem. Discovery pricing is quoted on the first call, and every project quote after that is fixed for its scope.
