Automation maintenance retainer
Automation maintenance retainer is part of what we build under AI Agents & Automation. We scope the approved work in estimated hours before anything starts, then deliver working software and a walkthrough so your team can run it without us.
How it works
- Describe the job. Tell us what's broken or what you need built. Screenshots and links welcome.
- Review the estimate. See the expected hours, scope, assumptions, exclusions, and $95 service-hour value before work starts.
- Delivered to the approved scope. You get the agreed deliverable and a walkthrough. Report a validated scope issue within 30 days and we correct that delivered scope without deducting more credits.
