The promise
You only pay the $150 blueprint before you see anything. On working day 10 you decide. If you keep it, you pay $2,340 and it is entirely yours. If you don't, you pay nothing more and we don't hand it over. That's the whole deal.

Pricing questions
The money, answered plainly.
Is $2,490 really the whole price?
Yes, for the scope written in the blueprint. The blueprint fee is part of the total, not an extra, and nothing else is invoiced unless you ask for work outside that scope.
What is not included in the price?
Third-party running costs you own directly: hosting, domain, email delivery and model or API usage. These are typically a small monthly amount and are named in the blueprint.
Can I stop after the blueprint?
Yes. The blueprint is yours to keep and to build elsewhere. Only the $150 is due at that point.
Do you offer payment plans or take equity?
The two staged payments are the plan. We do not take equity, revenue share or ongoing licence fees.
