One system, shipped.
Fixed scope. Fixed price.
The highest-ROI system from your audit roadmap, built and shipped to production in weeks — no open meter, 100% your IP, live by the end. The on-ramp is the audit, so the scope and the number are real before we start.
Most AI builds die as prototypes that bill by the hour.
The audit hands you a roadmap; the Sprint is how the top item on it becomes a real, running system without an open-ended engagement. Fixed scope, fixed price, production-grade — because a system that only works in a demo isn't a system, and an hourly meter against a moving target isn't a plan.
Four guarantees. One running system.
One system, scoped to a fixed price
The single highest-ROI system from your audit roadmap — a visibility system, a brand ontology, a content engine, or an agent — specified to a fixed scope and a fixed price before we start. You know the shape and the bill up front. No open meter, no surprise invoice.
Fixed scope · fixed priceBuilt to production, not a prototype
We ship the real thing — instrumented, tested, running on your stack — not a demo that impresses in a call and breaks the week after. "Live by the end of the sprint" is the definition of done, with the evals to prove it works.
Production-grade · tested · instrumented100% your IP, portable by default
Everything we build is yours — code, graph, content, agent. It's model-agnostic and platform-agnostic where it can be, so it survives any single vendor and you can take it in-house whenever you want. No lock-in is a design constraint, not a promise.
Your IP · no lock-inA clean handoff or a running start
At the end you have a working system and a documented handoff. Take it in-house, or roll into an Operating Partner engagement and we run and extend it. Both are fine — the sprint stands on its own either way.
Documented handoff · optional runWhich system gets built is decided in your audit — visibility, a brand graph, the Content Engine, or an agent.
Scoped, built, shipped — on a date.
No mystery, no drift. The audit did the diagnosis; the sprint executes a defined deliverable against a fixed timeline.
Scope, locked from the audit
We take the top-ranked system from your roadmap and specify it to a fixed scope, price and date. You approve the exact shape and the bill before any build starts.
Build to production
We build the real system on your stack — instrumented and tested — with evals proving it works on your actual cases, not a staged demo. Progress is visible the whole way.
Ship & hand off
It goes live, you get a documented handoff, and the IP is yours. Take it in-house, or roll into Operating Partner and we run it. Your call.
An outcome with a date, not hours against a moving target.
The pricing model is the tell: a sprint commits to a deliverable, a shop commits to a rate. One of those can drift forever.
| Typical dev shop | PlanePaper System Sprint | |

| Billed by | The hour, against a moving target | A fixed scope and a fixed price |
| Scoped by | A sales call and a guess | Your $1,500 audit |

Questions, answered straight.
Why do I have to start with the audit?
Because a fixed price requires a fixed scope, and an accurate scope requires understanding your business first. The $1,500 audit is how we earn the right to quote you a real number instead of a vague range — and how we make sure we're building the system that actually pays, not the one that's easy to sell.
It's also the lowest-risk way in: the roadmap is yours whether or not you sprint.
What does a sprint cost and how long does it take?
Sprints start around $10K and run a few weeks to production — the exact scope, price and timeline are fixed in your audit, where we've seen your actual systems. The commitment is to a defined deliverable and a date, not an open-ended hourly engagement that drifts.
What if the scope changes mid-sprint?
The scope is fixed precisely so it doesn't drift mid-flight — that's the point of doing the audit first. If something genuinely new surfaces, it becomes a clearly-scoped next sprint, not a quiet expansion of this one's bill. You never get a surprise invoice.
Do I have to keep you on to run it afterward?
No. The sprint produces a working system and a documented handoff that's 100% your IP. Most clients roll into an Operating Partner engagement so we run and extend it — but that's a choice, never a lock-in. Take it in-house whenever you want.
How is this different from hiring a dev shop or an agency?
A typical shop bills hourly against a moving target and hands you a prototype. A sprint is fixed-scope, fixed-price, production-grade, and scoped by the audit — and it's built by the engineer who'll stand behind running it, not handed down a chain of contractors. Outcome, not time.
