SHIP 10

Everything SHIP 5 covers, with room to finish bigger pieces. BUILD THE THING: a real feature with tests and a deploy, an MVP slice, a payment or email flow. FIX THE THING: the performance pass, the security once-over, the migration that keeps slipping. MAKE AI PAY FOR ITSELF: an AI feature designed and shipped, evals in place, costs measured. THINK THROUGH THE THING: a technical plan you can hand to any developer, tradeoffs argued.

Retainer expectations. Ten hours is a block, not a subscription. When something needs more, you get the estimate before a minute is spent.

• First reply within one business day of any request.
• Every request gets an estimate before work starts. You approve it, reject it, or cap the hours you are willing to spend.
• Hours are valid for 60 days from purchase. Unused hours expire at the end of that window — but hours already promised to open work never lapse.
• Every hour logged appears on your own engagement page, with a note saying what it went on.
