Three tracks inside the five-phase method. Solana systems first. AI and product work when that is the surface you need live.
Phase 01
Defined in proposal
The Blueprint
Discovery & Planning
We confirm the business problem, accountable buyer, system constraints, budget, urgency, and acceptance conditions before committing to a build.
The work maps system boundaries, data and integration dependencies, failure modes, security assumptions, and scope exclusions. The resulting plan makes the build decision explicit: proceed, narrow the scope, or stop.
What's Included
Problem and owner definition
System boundary map
Integration and data constraints
Failure-mode review
Acceptance criteria
Estimate and exclusions
Key Benefits
Explicit build decision
Bounded delivery risk
Comparable scope and estimate
Named decision owner
Phase 02
Milestoned in proposal
The Structure
Development & Implementation
We implement the agreed system in reviewable milestones, with tests and operating evidence tied to written acceptance criteria.
Each milestone has an owner, defined boundary, evidence, and review point. New requirements enter written change control so the original scope, timing, and payment schedule remain visible.
What's Included
Milestoned implementation
Frontend and operator surfaces
APIs and workflow logic
Data and state boundaries
External integrations
Tests and observability
Key Benefits
Reviewable delivery evidence
Controlled scope changes
Observable failure paths
Documented ownership
Phase 03
Acceptance-gated
The Delivery
Testing & Deployment
We verify the agreed acceptance paths, known failure behavior, observability, recovery steps, and ownership before handoff or release.
The final review records passing evidence, open constraints, and accepted exclusions. Production rollout and support only follow the responsibilities and boundaries written in the proposal.
What's Included
Acceptance-path tests
Security finding review
Performance evidence
Release and recovery plan
Ownership handoff
Known-constraint register
Key Benefits
Evidence-backed acceptance
Documented security findings
Recoverable release path
Explicit operating owner
Investment and timeline
Choose the smallest engagement that fits the work. Scope, timing, exclusions, payment schedule, and operating ownership are confirmed before a proposal.
Planning ranges help with self-qualification. The proposal confirms the statement of work, timeline, exclusions, and fixed quote after a qualified scoping call.
What shapes the estimate
The range moves with the work that must be designed, integrated, verified, and handed over.
Scope Complexity
Business logic depth, workflow count, and technical edge cases
Security Requirements
Baseline security review included; external audits available for high-risk systems
Frontend Scope
Simple UI vs multi-role product surfaces and operations dashboards
Integration Complexity
Third-party APIs, data providers, enterprise systems, and automation tooling
Timeline
Delivery sequence and external deadlines
Post-Launch Support
Handoff, maintenance, and operating ownership agreed in the proposal
Payment structure
50%
Deposit
50%
Accepted delivery
The standard structure is 50% deposit and 50% on accepted delivery. A proposal may define milestones for larger scopes.
Planning range
Scope estimator
A planning band for timeline and budget—not a quote. Final scope is confirmed after project fit review.

Answers to the questions we get most about how we scope, build, and hand off work.
01What services does Builderz® provide?
Builderz offers Architecture and delivery sprint, Production build, Reliability and rescue sprint.
02What industries do you specialize in?
Builderz prioritizes Solana product and infrastructure teams, operators buying bounded AI automation, and founders with a defined technical delivery problem.
03How long does a typical project take?
Timeline is confirmed after dependencies, acceptance criteria, delivery capacity, and integration risk are understood. Builderz does not promise a start or delivery date before qualification.
04How much does it cost to work with Builderz®?
The architecture sprint is $3K-$5K, production builds are $10K-$40K, and reliability or rescue sprints are $5K-$15K. The final proposal confirms scope and price.
05Do you work with teams that are new to AI automation or Web3?
Yes, when there is an accountable owner, a credible budget, and a defined business or operating problem. An architecture sprint is the usual starting point when the technical path is unclear.
06Can you integrate AI and blockchain into existing products?
Yes. We integrate AI workflows, data pipelines, and (when relevant) blockchain components into existing products without forcing a full rebuild.
