Productized Services Defined

Fixed-price packages with predefined deliverables. Think "ASP.NET bug fix package" or "Azure Function deployment package." No proposals. No scope creep. Buy → deliver → done.

Traditional Agencies Defined

Custom proposals, hourly/project billing, dedicated account managers. Perfect for unique requirements—but slow and unpredictable for standard development tasks.

"Standard C# work shouldn't require custom proposals."
