What happens after you send a brief

Pick a draft in the sidebar and send it. Plausible briefs get a reply from this inbox within 2–3 business days, next steps, or a direct no-go with the reason. No chase sequences.

Fit calls follow brief review, not a free pitch meeting. Reply within 2–3 business days: next steps or a direct no-go with the reason. Paid work is gated the way our own ventures are: each stage has a written stop criterion up front. If a gate fails, the work stops, and so does the billing. See the public kill archive. Build engagements start with a fixed-fee Decision Diagnostic (from $1,500), a known number before open scope. RECON clears before any install bundle. No retainer tail.
