Every service, end to end — visualized stage by stage.
No more guessing what you are paying for. Each engagement is mapped as an interactive pipeline so you can see what happens on day one, what we ship at handoff, and what optional Care looks like after.
How a Sage Ideas engagement works
Every project — productized or custom — follows the same five-act story: a free chat, a tight scope, focused build, clean handoff, and optional Care.
No surprises
Plain-English scope, fixed price for productized tiers, written change-control if scope shifts.
Built in the open
Daily-updated staging links, weekly Loom walkthroughs, async status. You always know where things stand.
Optional Care
If you want me on call after launch, a Care retainer covers it monthly. Cancel anytime.

Not sure which
pipeline fits?
If your project does not slot into a productized tier — bigger scope, hybrid engagement, or ongoing monthly work — we run a custom proposal off a 20-minute intro chat. No pressure, no pitch deck, just an honest fit check.
