Build

Where this fits in the services matrix.

Every service page now names the buyer state, the commercial shape, and the next route. That keeps the catalog navigable instead of feeling like disconnected offers.

00B// build engagement map

Bespoke architecture for Build.

Build turns a validated need into a working app, SaaS surface, or internal system with the core product mechanics in place.

The path keeps decisions visible: scope, interface, data, integrations, billing or workflow logic, and a launch handoff that makes the result usable.

Launchable product path

02// scope

Concrete artifacts you keep — and what we leave out.

Working code, written docs, dashboards your team owns. We also list what this engagement deliberately does not cover, so scope is honest before you click.

  • Custom application (Next.js + Supabase / FastAPI)
  • AI workflow automation (Automate-equivalent)
  • SEO foundation + initial content
  • Stripe billing + customer accounts
  • Analytics + monitoring + runbooks
  • Architecture documentation + handoff

04// questions

Common questions.

01How is the price determined?
Discovery call → fixed-fee proposal within 48 hours. We almost never bill hourly. Most Build engagements land between $35k and $80k.
02What is the deposit?
25% kickoff deposit, then milestone-based invoicing. Net 30.
03Who actually writes the code?
Sage Ideas + a curated bench of trusted specialists when scope warrants. Every line of code is reviewed by Jason. No offshore unsupervised contractors.
04What if scope changes?
Change orders go in a written addendum with their own price + timeline impact. No surprise bills.
