Pricing basis
Hourly / T&M for variable coordination, day rate for on-site work, fixed project fee for defined outcomes.
HOW IT WORKS
Scope first. Then work. Then evidence.
We separate how the work is priced, how the relationship is structured and how the client pays.
THREE LAYERS
Pricing, engagement and payment are different decisions.
This keeps the quote clear and the delivery accountable.
Engagement
Ad-hoc Work Order, Ongoing Operations, monthly retainer or project engagement.
Payment
Prepaid service balance, deposit + milestones, monthly invoice or pass-through third-party costs.
WORK ORDER
Every task has a budget, owner and evidence standard.
The Work Order is the control point. It is not a vague request in a chat.
Request
What needs to happen, where, by when and why.
Approval
Scope, budget, owner and any third-party cost.
Execution
Founder, local representative or specialist partner.
Evidence
Photos, reports, meeting notes or issue log.
BILLING
Time entries do not charge a card.
Work is recorded, reviewed and then shown on a statement. The client sees the balance and the basis.

Illustrative. No public rate is implied.
- No per-entry card charge.
- Client review window before deduction.
- Disputed items are held, not silently deducted.
- Third-party costs are itemized separately.
- Low balance triggers a top-up request, not an automatic charge.
BOUNDARIES
What we do not do.
Clarity protects both sides.
No quality guarantee
We coordinate independent inspection and provide evidence. We do not guarantee product quality.
No fund custody
The client pays the supplier directly. We do not hold large procurement funds.
No hidden commission
Any supplier commission, rebate or conflict is disclosed. Buyer-side means buyer-side.
