We quote using a repeatable system: baseline tier, modules, complexity multipliers, and risk buffer.
Starting effort baselines before scenario multipliers are applied.
Total Estimate = (Tier Baseline) × (Complexity × Integrations × UI Depth) × Risk Buffer
This model compounds effort drivers. As complexity and integrations increase together, effort can rise faster than linearly.
This transforms quoting from guesswork into a defendable, scalable pricing engine with predictable margins.
GHS is our primary planning currency, with a USD equivalent available when useful. We are not publishing unapproved figures yet. The calculator shows effort, while the final scope conversation confirms professional fees, vendor subscriptions, and third-party costs separately.
The first step is a focused working session intended to produce useful artifacts you can keep and review internally.
Focused working session
Clarify the friction, current workflow, constraints, and decision that needs to be made.
Take-away artifacts
Receive a workflow map, capability priorities, and an initial architecture direction.
Planning stage
Turn the direction into phases, dependencies, assumptions, and a defensible scope conversation.
By agreement
Move into implementation, onboarding, and support governance when the operating case is clear.
A clarified workflow map, prioritized capabilities, an initial solution direction, and practical next-step sequencing. These are planning artifacts—not a fixed quote or a promise of implementation scope.
