Most land between $8,000 and $30,000 depending on scope. Weekly billing changes the risk math: you fund one week at a time and can stop at any review — no $25k leap of faith.

How it works
From brief to shipped work in three steps
1. Describe the work
Share the goal, constraints and timeline. We turn it into a structured brief — no technical writing required from you.
2. Meet your match
We match you with a hand-verified specialist whose stack and track record fit — not a stack of proposals to screen.
3. Confirm weekly, pay weekly
Progress is tracked in a shared workspace. Each week you review — and payment is processed only after you approve.
FAQ
Common questions
That's step one. The structured brief turns your idea into a prioritized map, and a good MVP developer will argue to CUT features — if nobody pushes back on scope, be worried.
You keep the same developer for iteration sprints (most clients do), pause, or hand off cleanly — code, accounts and documentation are yours from day one.
