RESULTWARD publishes indicative levels so you can judge fit before a conversation. Small scoped work starts at $1,500; custom business software typically starts at $15,000.
Indicative levels in USD, not a quote. No automatic quotes: a person reviews every scope.
From $1,500
Clarify the business problem, test assumptions and map the right solution before a larger commitment.
Best for: You know the problem but not yet the right solution, or you want a second opinion before committing budget.
From $3,000
A focused integration, automation or feature with a clear scope and acceptance criteria.
Best for: One integration, automation or feature with a clear boundary.
Typically $8,000–$25,000+
Discovery, architecture and development for a focused MVP or the next product release.
Best for: A focused MVP or the next release of an existing product.
Typically $15,000+
An operational system shaped around your team, workflows and existing infrastructure.
Best for: A team working around spreadsheets or tools that no longer fit the way it operates.
Typically $25,000+
A connected platform with multiple roles, data sources and business processes.
Best for: Several roles, data sources and business processes that have to work as one system.
Monthly engagement
An ongoing engineering relationship for product development, maintenance and improvement.
Best for: A live product or system that keeps evolving.
Vendor fees, taxes and specialist compliance work are agreed separately. The final proposal follows human review of scope, complexity and delivery requirements.
What moves the number
Six factors account for most of the difference between a small project and a large one. Use them to place your own project before you talk to anyone.
| Driver | Keeps the scope smaller | Makes the scope larger |
|---|---|---|
| Workflows and roles | One workflow and one type of user | Several connected workflows, roles and approval paths |
| Integrations | Documented APIs with available test access | Legacy systems, missing APIs or restricted access |
| Data | Structured records with a clear owner | Inconsistent data from several sources that needs cleaning |
| Use of AI | Drafts and suggestions that a person approves | Autonomous actions that need evaluation sets and guardrails |
| Security and compliance | Internal users and low-sensitivity data | Regulated data, audit requirements or formal security review |
| Launch | A flexible date and a staged rollout | A fixed external deadline or a migration with no downtime |
Custom business software is typically $15,000+. A focused MVP or next product release is typically $8,000–$25,000+, and a connected platform with several roles and data sources is typically $25,000+. Smaller scoped work is available, with a Solution Sprint from $1,500 and a Defined Project from $3,000.
So you can judge fit before a conversation. The levels are planning references in USD, not a quote. Scope, complexity and delivery requirements determine the final proposal after human review.
The main drivers are the number of workflows and roles, the state of integrations and data, how much autonomy AI is given, security and compliance requirements, and the launch date. The cost estimator lets you explore these drivers before a conversation.
Start with a Solution Sprint. It clarifies the business problem, tests assumptions and maps the right solution before a larger commitment, including what should not be built.
No. RESULTWARD does not generate quotes automatically. AI may help summarize an enquiry internally, but a person reviews the scope and agrees pricing with you.
Yes. Continuous Engineering is a monthly engagement for product development, maintenance and improvement, delivered by the same direct engineering relationship.
A business problem is enough to start.
No technical specification required.
