Cost

Transparent pricing. Predictable delivery.

We price for outcomes and clarity. Choose a fixed package when scope is well-understood, or spin up a dedicated pod for evolving roadmaps. Either way, we publish estimates, communicate tradeoffs, and keep you in the loop.

Engagement & Pricing Models

Fixed-Scope Package

Best when goals are crisp and bounded. We lock scope and milestones up front and deliver to an agreed definition of done.

  • Statement of Work with clear acceptance criteria
  • Milestone-based billing
  • Change control for new ideas without derailing delivery

Dedicated Team

Ideal for evolving roadmaps or product buildouts. A cross-functional pod that ships in tight, demo-driven iterations.

  • Simple monthly retainer (pod capacity)
  • Prioritized backlog, 1–2 week sprints
  • Roadmap agility without renegotiating scope

Advisory & Architecture

Fractional leadership for strategy, governance, and high-leverage technical decisions across teams and vendors.

  • Weekly cadence for workshops and guidance
  • Architecture reviews, vendor/solution selection
  • Hands-on prototypes where needed

What’s Included

Leadership or Partnership

We can lead technical solutioning as your primary architect or partner seamlessly with your team to co-design the transformative platform.

Flexible Delivery Options

Engagement models tailored to your needs, budget, and timelines — from fixed-scope packages to dedicated pods and advisory retainers.

Business Assessment

Discovery sessions and clear requirements to ground scope, priorities, and success criteria.

Impact Analysis

Evidence-based projections for cost reduction and operational efficiency, including assumptions and measurable outcomes.

Iterative UI/UX Design

Rapid prototypes and usability feedback loops to maximize user acceptance across internal and external customers.

Clear Communication

Transparent, frequent updates on scope, status, risks, and budget — so there are no surprises.

Post-Delivery Grace Period

Enhancements and bug fixes included for a defined grace period after go-live at no additional cost.

Operational Support Models

Support plans agreed before implementation to lock in cost, roles, and response expectations — clearly communicated and accepted.

How We Estimate

We convert scope into effort bands using historical delivery data for similar work. Estimates account for integration complexity, data migration, team size, and decision latency. With a fixed package, we price to an agreed scope; with a dedicated team, we forecast throughput and track burnup toward outcomes.

Pricing FAQs

Do you offer fixed bids or time-based models?

Yes. We provide both fixed-bid packages (with locked scope) and dedicated team models, billed as a unit of hours per month.

How do you manage scope changes?

Requirements are reviewed before development begins. This allows us to capture scope changes up front and prioritize work within your budget and timeline.

What is your delivery cadence?

We work in two-week development sprints, providing demos and feedback opportunities at each iteration.

Where is your team located?

We are a distributed team, highly experienced in collaborating and delivering as one unit, even without being in the same building.

Who covers travel and expenses?

Travel and related expenses are the customer’s responsibility. Each situation is reviewed in advance, and billable costs are agreed on a case-by-case basis.

What about ongoing support?

Support costs are defined and agreed to before a project begins, if BlueGrass CodeWorks is engaged for operational support. This ensures no surprises.

Who owns the IP and source code?

You do. All intellectual property, source code, and assets belong to the customer. We also provide training and knowledge transfer during project handoff.
