How It Works

From intake to submission

A structured four-step engagement designed around your technology and timeline — not ours.

01
Intake & Scoping

Complete the AI intake questionnaire. We scope the effort, confirm timeline, and lock pricing within 24 hours.

02
Engagement Letter

Signed agreement with IP terms, revision count, and success-fee structure if applicable. Retainer collected via Stripe.

03
Draft & Review

First draft delivered within the agreed window. Two rounds of revisions included. All content unclassified by contract.

04
Final Delivery

Submission-ready files delivered. Success fee captured on confirmed award via sbir.gov verification.

Transparent Pricing

Two paths. One standard of work.

Path A is flat-rate — you pay regardless of outcome. Path B is success-based — lower retainer, with a success fee on confirmed award. Both options are available at every tier.
