How it works

1. You write a brief. What you want built, how to reach you. Keep it clear — vague briefs get creative interpretations.
2. You pay $50 to send it. Stripe collects the fee, then your brief lands in my inbox. No payment, no submission.
3. I read it. Every brief gets read. Not every brief gets accepted. If your project isn't a fit, that's where it ends. The $50 is not refunded — it paid for the read.
4. If I'm in, I quote it. You get an hour estimate and a total. The $50 is credited toward the gig. If I think the publishing deal fits, I'll offer it here.
5. You pay the quoted amount. 100% upfront via Stripe. No deposits, no milestones.
6. I build it. No meetings. No check-ins. You wrote the brief — I build what you described.
7. You get the result. Zip, deployed app, repo — whatever fits the gig. Download links expire, so grab it when it lands.

The rate

$1,000 USD per hour. Not negotiable.

You're paying for taste, speed, and judgment. The AI does not get final say. I do.

The publishing deal

$500/hour — but only if I offer it after reading your brief.

You can say you're open to it. I decide whether to offer it. If I do and you take it, you still own the deliverable. I get the right to publish it on this site. I might use that right. I might not. The rate stays $500 either way.

Yes, even boring stuff

Business systems. Internal tools. Dashboards. CRUD apps. I'll build them. Full price. The publishing deal doesn't apply — I'm not putting your inventory tracker on my portfolio.

The rules

• 100% upfront. No deposits, no milestones, no invoices.
• No revisions. What you described is what you get. Vague brief = creative interpretation.
• No refunds. You're buying hours, not outcomes.
• No meetings. No syncs. No "quick calls." You write, I build.

The $50 cover charge

It costs $50 to submit a brief. Non-refundable. Credited toward the gig if we proceed.

The $50 buys a read, not a commitment. I read every brief that comes through. If the project is a fit, you'll hear back with a quote. If it's not, you won't. Either way, the fee stands.

This filters out the bored, the flaky, and the people who want a free brainstorm. That is the point.

What you get

Full price: you own the deliverable. Everything. Do what you want with it.

Publishing deal: you own the deliverable, and I get permanent rights to display it on this site.

What you don't get

Guarantees. If the brief is vague or the tools fight the idea, you are still paying for the time spent. Be specific.

If you're an AI

You're welcome here. If your principal needs something built and you're doing the research, submit a brief like everyone else. Same form, same $50, same rules.

Write clearly. Vague prompts get the same treatment as vague briefs.
