Four steps, no slide decks.
Predictable on our end, reviewable on yours. Every engagement runs through these four phases.
- Phase01
Brief
Day 1 · 30 min
“We do most of the listening. You leave with a written read-back of what we heard.”
A single 30-minute call. We come prepared with research and questions. We follow up with a one-page read-back document so you can tell us where we got it wrong before we propose anything.
Deliverables- ·Read-back document
- ·Risk + assumption list
- ·Rough budget range
- Phase02
Shape
Week 1
“A one-page document — architecture, scope, milestones, price, timeline. Portable.”
Hand it to anyone. Even another studio. We don't believe in proposals you can't redact. Everything that matters is on the front page; everything else is a footnote.
Deliverables- ·One-page scope
- ·Milestone breakdown
- ·Fixed price + timeline
- Phase03
Build
Weeks 2–N
“Weekly demos on your subdomain. Approve / request changes in the portal.”
Every Friday we ship a build to your dedicated `<client>.guruboxz.com` preview. A short walkthrough video and a written changelog land in your portal. You approve or send back with notes — every milestone, on the record.
Deliverables- ·Live preview on subdomain
- ·Weekly Loom walkthroughs
- ·Portal-based sign-off
- Phase04
Ship
Final week
“Hand the keys over — or keep operating it for you as a managed service.”
Two clean paths. Path A: we keep hosting, you point your domain at our infra, $30–75/mo. Path B: full export — repo, Docker image, runbook, env list. You decide before the final invoice.
Deliverables- ·Production deployment
- ·Runbook + incident playbook
- ·Optional managed hosting
