1. Define
Approve the Launch Definition
Diana confirms the first release, data boundaries, acceptance criteria, and exclusions before development begins.
How the arrangement works
Pay for the approved first release once. Keep it running responsibly every month.
The Product Definition work is included in the Founding Partner arrangement. The $1,500 Launch Investment applies only to the written Phase 1 scope. The $350/month Managed Application Service starts when that release is deployed to production.
Commercial sequence
Three clear stages.
This sequence keeps the planning conversation open while making the build, acceptance, payment, and ongoing service boundaries unmistakable.
2. Build & deploy
Accept the first release
After testing, backup/restore validation, and acceptance against the written criteria, the first release deploys. The $1,500 Launch Investment is due.
3. Operate
Begin Managed Application Service
The $350/month service begins at production launch and supports normal operation, maintenance, backups, and released-feature support.
Quick comparison
What each price supports.
New or materially changed features are not hidden inside either price. They become planned, separately estimated roadmap work.
