08 / OPERATE

Built and abandoned is the default. This is the alternative.

Most agencies want the build project, not the unglamorous work of keeping it running afterward. This is a retainer built for the opposite: predictable monthly cost, defined response times, and no exit fee if it's not working for you.

SCOPE

What's included

Included

  • Security patching and dependency updates on a defined schedule
  • Uptime and error monitoring with alerting
  • A defined number of support/change hours each month
  • (Priority tier) 1-hour first response and a named point of contact
  • A monthly summary of what was done — patches, incidents, hours used

Not included

  • New feature development beyond the included monthly hours (quoted separately if it exceeds them)
  • Hosting/infrastructure costs themselves, billed by your provider, not included in the retainer fee
  • Work on a codebase we haven't reviewed first (a short onboarding audit is included)
  • Response faster than the plan's defined time — Priority's 1-hour response is the fastest available

AUDIENCE

Who it's for

01

The business whose product just needs to keep running.

Built by us or by someone else, it's live and working. You need it patched, monitored, and not forgotten.

02

The founder who's been ghosted by their build agency after launch.

The agency that built it doesn't answer anymore, or ongoing support was never part of the deal.

03

The team that wants predictable cost without a long contract.

A monthly number you can plan around, and the ability to leave with 30 days' notice if it's not working — nothing more binding than that.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01 Do you only support products you built?

No — we support projects built elsewhere too, after a short onboarding audit to understand the codebase.

02 What happens if I use more than my included hours?

We tell you before doing the extra work, quote it at a fixed hourly rate, and only proceed with your approval — it's never billed automatically.

03 Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, with 30 days' notice. The current billing period is served out, with no exit fee.

04 What counts as a support hour?

Patching, small fixes, monitoring response, and small requested changes. Larger feature work is quoted separately, whether or not it fits in your remaining hours.
