What it costs

Four things we do, and what they cost.

Four bands. Each one is a fixed fee, a published list of what arrives, and a duration we have actually hit.

If your budget is smaller than a band, say so. We will tell you honestly whether there is a smaller version of it — or point you at someone who should do it instead.
