Fixed-scope project delivery
Predictable scope, predictable timeline, predictable price — for well-defined product builds where the requirements are clear and the deliverable is scoped.
What comes with a fixed-scope engagement
Clear commercials, clear deliverables, clear finish line — with the discipline to actually reach it.
Scoped statement of work
A written SOW that specifies inputs, outputs, milestones, acceptance criteria, and out-of-scope items in plain English.
Fixed price & timeline
One quoted price and one committed timeline. Change requests are handled through a formal amendment, not a hidden variance.
Milestone-based delivery
Work is split into two-to-four milestones, each with a demo and sign-off. You always know exactly where the project is.
Clear acceptance criteria
Each milestone ships with a written acceptance checklist. Signed off means signed off — no post-hoc scope creep.
Handover documentation
Architecture notes, runbooks, and setup docs delivered with the code — so your team can operate what we built.
Post-launch warranty
A defined warranty window after launch where defects against the SOW are fixed at no additional charge.
From discovery to production handover
A four-phase engagement that trades speed for certainty — clear scope, clear price, real handover at the end.
Discovery & scoping
A short paid discovery — one to three weeks — that produces the SOW: functional requirements, architecture, milestones, and price.
Fixed proposal
A signed SOW with fixed price and timeline. Payment schedule and acceptance criteria are locked before we start.
Milestone delivery
The team delivers each milestone, demos, incorporates feedback, and gets written sign-off before moving on.
Launch & warranty
Production launch, handover docs, and a warranty window where SOW defects are covered at no additional charge.
Where a fixed-scope engagement is the right fit
Fixed-scope works best when the requirements are stable, the deliverable is well-defined, and finance wants a single number.
MVP builds
A clearly scoped v1 — enough to validate the product hypothesis with real users, delivered against a fixed budget.
Marketing site launches
CMS-driven marketing sites with a defined page count, structured content model, and a launch date pointing at a campaign.
One-off integrations
A specific integration with Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, or a partner API — scoped, priced, and shipped without ongoing capacity.
Design-system builds
A first-version component library with a defined set of components, tokens, and documentation targets.
Data pipeline projects
A specific data pipeline with defined sources, destinations, and data-quality checks — delivered as a completed project.
Migration & modernization
Scoped moves — off Heroku, off a legacy monolith, or from one cloud to another — with a clear cutover plan and price.
The stack we commonly deliver on
Any modern stack — these are the tools we most often use on fixed-scope projects, matched to what fits the work.
What you get from fixed-scope delivery
The advantages of a scoped, priced, and warrantied engagement over an open-ended time-and-materials arrangement.
Fixed budget certainty
One number for finance. No hourly billing gymnastics, no surprise change orders after a bad sprint.
Milestone-based invoicing
Payment tied to milestones you sign off on — not to hours worked or engineers billed regardless of progress.
Clear acceptance criteria
A written checklist for each milestone means "done" is a fact, not a debate.
Post-launch warranty period
A defined warranty window where defects against the SOW are fixed at no additional charge.
A product delivered as a fixed-scope build
A cross-platform health app delivered under a defined scope, timeline, and price.

Honest scope conversations
When requirements grow, we flag it early with a written amendment — not a silent slippage or a surprise invoice.
You get real handover, not lock-in
Docs, runbooks, and clean code so your team can operate the deliverable without staying on our retainer.
