Note on Pricing Flexibility
These packages are starting points, not rigid boxes. Every quote should be adjusted based on actual transaction volume, complexity, and the specific needs uncovered during the discovery call. When in doubt, quote slightly higher than the range — it's easier to offer a small discount than to raise a price after the fact.
