What engagements actually cost

Because an exact figure before discovery is either a guess or padded to cover the unknowns. Avezone quotes a firm price after the discovery sprint, when the architecture and integration surface are actually understood. The ranges here are drawn from comparable completed engagements.

For discovery, yes — it is always fixed price. For build work Avezone prices a fixed monthly team instead. Fixed-price builds push both sides to argue about scope rather than solve the problem, and the risk premium ends up in your invoice regardless.

That is the intended path. Most clients begin with a discovery sprint, which is fixed price and produces artefacts you keep whether or not you continue. If the architecture or the numbers do not work, stopping there is a reasonable outcome and costs you a few weeks rather than a year.

No. Platform builds are billed monthly and can be stopped at the end of any month. Managed platform retainers require 30 days' notice. Source code, infrastructure definitions and documentation are yours throughout, so leaving is a commercial decision rather than a technical one.

Sometimes, where the problem is well defined and the scope genuinely fits. Avezone would rather decline than staff an engagement too thinly to succeed. If the budget does not support the work, we will say so on the first call and where useful point you toward a more suitable option.

PKR for Pakistani clients, and USD, GBP or AED for international ones. The contracting entity, currency and applicable jurisdiction are agreed per engagement before any work begins.
