Scope-specific pricing.The diagnostic picks your tier.

Pricing ranges reflect scope variation within each tier. The diagnostic call produces a specific number. No surprises after you commit.

What the diagnostic produces

A specific number.
Not a range.

The ranges you see on this page are pre-diagnostic. Once you complete the 60-minute call, you receive a prescription report with a specific service combination, tier, price, and timeline. Not a range. A number.

The example to the right is a real prescription format — Martinez HVAC, diagnosed with an after-hours lead capture gap and no web presence. Two services prescribed. One specific total.

Payment terms

No work begins without first payment cleared.

Every engagement begins this way across all tiers. It protects both parties: you have documented scope before committing, and GRIFFAIN has confirmed commitment before building.

Express

100% due before work begins. No exceptions. Small scope = no milestone risk = full upfront.

Standard

50% due before work begins. 50% due on delivery and final handoff. Delivery payment released upon client acceptance of delivered scope.

Build

50% due before work begins. 25% due at defined midpoint milestone. 25% due on delivery and final handoff. Milestones defined in engagement letter.

Retainer

Net-0: due on the 1st of each month. First month billed at retainer start. Retainers run month-to-month with 30 days written notice to end.

Revenue Systems

Revenue Systems engagements include a one-time setup fee plus a monthly retainer — the diagnostic determines which systems apply and their combined cost.

Common questions

Before the diagnostic.

01
Why are prices listed as ranges? Can I get a fixed number?

The ranges reflect scope variation within each tier — a Standard website for a 3-page service site and a Standard website for a 12-page professional services platform are both Standard tier but have different scopes. The diagnostic produces a specific price, not a range. The range is what you see before the diagnostic. After the diagnostic, you get a number.

02
What if I need something faster than Express?

Express is already 1-3 days. Same-day delivery is possible for very narrow scopes but requires agreement before the engagement letter is signed. Rush timelines affect complexity of what's deliverable — the quality floor doesn't change, but the scope may narrow.

03
Can I combine service lines in a Standard engagement?

Rarely. Standard is one week and one service line. When two service lines are both prescribed and need to be delivered together, that's a Build engagement. The diagnostic determines this — it's not a tier selection you make, it's a scope reality.

04
What counts as a revision?

A revision is a change to delivered work that falls within the original scope. Adding new features, changing the strategic direction, or expanding the deliverable set is not a revision — it's scope change, which requires a new engagement or an amendment to the engagement letter before implementation.

05
What happens if the project runs over 2 weeks?

It doesn't. Build tier has a 2-week hard limit. If the scope is larger than 2 weeks, it becomes phased: two sequential Build engagements with a clear scope break between them. This is documented in the prescription, not discovered mid-build.

06
Do you offer discounts for multiple engagements or larger scopes?

No. GRIFFAIN doesn't discount on scope — the pricing reflects the cost of the work at that quality level. A Retainer at $1,000-$2,500/month may be more economical than repeated Standard engagements if the ongoing need is real.

07
Can I start a Retainer without a prior GRIFFAIN engagement?

Occasionally. Retainers make the most sense after an initial engagement because the operational context is already documented. Cold-start Retainers require a diagnostic to scope the monthly deliverable set accurately.

The diagnostic produces your specific number.

Ranges are pre-diagnostic. After the 60-minute call, you get a prescription with a specific price, tier, and timeline. No range. No ambiguity.
