01
It removes the negotiation
Nobody has to justify a number, defend a rate, or discover afterwards that the same work cost someone else half as much.
Pricing
You decide what
it was worth.
There is no rate card on this page because there is no rate card. You see what an engagement will produce, you enter an amount, and that is the price.
The mechanism
Three steps, one of which is a number.
- 01
You describe what you need
Nothing is committed at this point. Describing a request costs nothing and obliges nothing.
- 02
We show you the engagement
The outcome, the work involved, and a suggested amount based on its scope. You see all of it before any money is mentioned.
- 03
You enter an amount
Our suggestion, more than it, or less than it. The figure you enter is the figure charged, and work begins immediately.
The suggestion
A starting point,
not a position.
We suggest a figure because being handed a blank field with no reference point is uncomfortable, not because we are anchoring you. It reflects the scope of the specific engagement in front of you.
Enter less and the work is done to the same standard. Enter more and nothing about the work changes either — there is no priority queue and no premium version. The suggestion is information, and you are free to disregard it.
Typical suggestions
$49 – $149
A short, well-defined piece
$149 – $499
A substantial document
$499 – $2,499
Research-heavy or multi-part work
Suggestions, not prices. The field at checkout accepts whatever you enter.
Absent by design
Everything a pricing page usually contains.
The list below is not a set of features we have not built yet. It is a set of decisions.
Subscription
Nothing recurs. Nothing renews. Nothing needs cancelling.
None
Tiers
There is no better version of the work available at a higher price.
None
Seat licences
Accounts cost nothing. Only engagements do.
None
Minimum annual spend
Send one request a year if that is what you need.
None
Contract or commitment
Nothing binds you between engagements.
None
Overage or hidden fees
The amount you enter is the amount charged. There is no second line.
None
Why
Three reasons this is not a gimmick.
Customer-set pricing sounds like a marketing device. It is closer to an operating constraint.
02
It keeps us honest
A firm paid what its work is judged to be worth has exactly one way to earn more. It is the same way it has to earn anything at all.
03
It makes small requests possible
Under a rate card, small work is not worth quoting. Here it is worth exactly what you say, so it gets sent — which is the entire point.

“I paid the suggested amount the first time because I did not know any better. I have paid more than it since, because the work kept being worth more than the number.”
Payment
Handled by people who only do payments.
Card details never reach our systems. Payment runs entirely through a dedicated processor, which is both safer for you and one fewer thing for us to get wrong.
You authorise a specific engagement at a specific amount. Nothing is stored for future charging, nothing recurs, and there is no saved arrangement that could bill you when you were not expecting it.

Practicalities
What people ask about paying.
What if I genuinely do not know what to pay?+
Take the suggestion. It exists precisely for that moment, and nobody has ever been thought less of for accepting it.
Can I pay less than suggested?+
Yes, down to forty-nine dollars, and the work is done to the same standard. If a request is genuinely beyond what an amount can support, we say so before you pay rather than after.
Does paying more get me faster or better work?+
No. There is no priority queue and no premium tier. Paying more is a judgement about value already delivered, not a purchase of anything additional.
When am I charged?+
When you authorise the engagement, before work begins. Describing a request and reviewing what it will produce costs nothing.
Do you refund?+
In full, where we fall short of the standard and a second attempt does not fix it. We would rather return the money than have delivered something we would not stand behind.
Are revisions charged separately?+
No. Revisions are part of the engagement you already paid for, with no limit and no additional charge.

is the one you enter.
