Working Together

1. Purpose

Scope of this document

If you'd like to build, improve, or troubleshoot your software, get in touch. Let's use technology to move your business forward.

Before we are under a written contract, some conversations and written work are paid. That keeps discovery focused and fair. Discovery call and solicited proposal fees are credited toward your first invoice if we sign a written agreement for ongoing work; if we do not, they are treated as standard pre-engagement fees for the work already done.

2. Pre-engagement rates

Schedule of fees

The following rates apply to work requested before a signed engagement for ongoing delivery. Amounts are listed in United States dollars (USD) or Kenyan shillings (KSh) as shown. Rates are exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise agreed in writing.

• 2.1 Discovery calls

  Credited toward your first invoice if we sign a written contract.

  $50/hour

• 2.2 Light review of your deployed tech

  A quick, bounded look at what you already have in production.

  KSh 500

• 2.3 General business or product idea consultations

  Early-stage product and business conversation — not full project delivery.

  KSh 1,000

• 2.4 Solicited proposals

  A written proposal prepared when you ask for one. Credited toward your first invoice if we sign a written contract; otherwise treated as a standard proposal fee.

  $300

3. Payment and credit

Invoicing terms

• 3.1 Pre-engagement fees are payable as invoiced (or as otherwise confirmed in writing) before or promptly after the scheduled work, unless we agree otherwise.
• 3.2 Discovery call fees and solicited proposal fees are credited toward the first invoice under a subsequent written contract for related work, provided that contract is signed within a commercially reasonable time after the discovery call or delivery of the proposal (as applicable).
• 3.3 If no written contract is signed, discovery call and solicited proposal fees remain payable (or retained if already paid) as standard fees for the work already performed. They are not refundable solely because engagement did not proceed.
• 3.4 Fees for other completed pre-engagement work (including light tech reviews and idea consultations) are generally non-refundable, except where required by law or expressly agreed in writing.

5. Relationship to formal contracts

Hierarchy of documents

• 5.1 This page is a public schedule of pre-engagement rates and related terms. It is not itself a master services agreement or statement of work.
• 5.2 Where a signed written contract conflicts with this page, the signed contract controls for the parties and work it covers.
• 5.3 Rates and terms may be updated from time to time. The version and last-updated date above identify the revision in force. Prior quotes confirmed in writing remain as quoted for a reasonable acceptance period.
