These stages describe how Solofett works, not a fixed list of billable services. Design and ongoing support are included only when agreed in the proposal. For XS engagements, stages may be combined; the work and decision gates are tailored to the agreed scope.

Typical engagement windows

Illustrative active delivery ranges for different scopes.

  1. XSFocused

    1–2 weeks

  2. MDefined

    3–6 weeks

  3. LExtended

    6–12+ weeks

  4. XLCustom

    Scoped together

These illustrative active delivery windows begin after kickoff. Inquiry, planning, approvals, third-party readiness, and capacity affect when work can start and how long it takes. Final timing is set in the approved proposal; no date or availability is guaranteed.

A steady working rhythm

  • Kickoff

    Align on the approved scope, people, tools, and first milestone.

  • Shared scope

    Keep priorities and acceptance criteria visible in the agreed proposal.

  • Weekly update

    Get an async weekly update on progress, decisions, and anything blocked.

  • Milestone demos

    See working progress at agreed milestones and discuss what comes next.

  • Actionable feedback

    Share consolidated, specific feedback so decisions can move forward.

  • Change control and handover

    Discuss scope changes before they affect the plan, then receive handover materials suited to the engagement.

What we need from you

  • Share timely answers, context, and decisions from the people involved.
  • Provide required access and credentials through safe, agreed channels.
  • Review milestones and send consolidated feedback within the agreed windows.
  • Name a decision-maker who can confirm priorities and approvals.

Frequently asked questions

How should I read the timeline ranges?

They are illustrative active delivery windows after kickoff for different engagement sizes. The approved proposal sets the actual scope and timing; they are not guaranteed dates.

How long does it take to get from inquiry to kickoff?

Inquiry and planning happen before active delivery. The time to kickoff depends on discovery, proposal decisions, approvals, third-party readiness, and capacity, so we confirm it as part of the agreed proposal.

How many revision cycles are included?

Feedback and decision points are agreed for the work in the proposal. We consolidate feedback at each review so the team can make clear decisions without assuming an unlimited revision cycle.

What happens if the scope changes?

We discuss the change, its effect on priorities and timing, and any commercial impact before proceeding. Updates are captured in an agreed proposal.

Who owns the work after launch?

Ownership, access, and handover are described in the agreed proposal. At launch, Solofett provides the handover materials appropriate to that engagement.

Is support included after launch?

Ongoing support is optional and depends on what is agreed in the proposal. We can discuss maintenance or future improvements if they are useful.
