The first thirty days

Every fixed-scope delivery includes thirty days of fixes. If something in the done-checklist does not behave as written, we fix it, at no charge, within two working days for anything blocking and within the week for the rest. This is not a trial period; it is us standing behind the work.

After that

Three options, and "none" is a real one:

  • None. The system runs on your accounts, the docs are in the repo, you call us if you ever need us. Most small tools live happily like this.
  • Monthly care. A small fixed fee covers dependency updates, security patches, monitoring, backups verified, and a few hours for small changes. Priced per system; ask.
  • Ongoing development. A monthly budget and a rolling plan, reviewed together. This is the sales track.

What maintenance is not

It is not a way to drip-feed new features without a scope. New work is scoped like any other. It is also not an excuse to never upgrade: part of monthly care is keeping dependencies current so there is never a painful big-bang upgrade later.
