Add the client project and any access you can give. 2. **Setup** — I read what exists: the site, the tools, the code if there is any. 3. **Plan & Develop** — Questions go to you in writing. The week ends in a ranked plan under your brand. 4. **Review & Refine** — You review the plan. I revise until you're satisfied. 5. **Progress** — You sell the plan. Keep me on by the week to build it, or hand it to anyone. 6. **Maintain** — The next client project is another one-week discovery. ## Pricing — One-Time One client project, one written plan under your brand. - **Price:** $997 - **Note:** 1-week delivery - **Plan:** A senior developer behind your brand: you own the client, I answer the tech. - **Includes:** - 🧑‍💻 10+ years shipping software - 🗣️ Direct access to developer - 🪪 Full code & assets ownership - **CTA:** [Get Started](https://varstatt.com/start?cta=agent) - **Questions:** jurij@varstatt.com ## FAQ ### What is a discovery phase? The paid week before a build: what to make, what it risks and what it takes. Here it's one client project, answered under your brand. ### Is it technology consulting? Yes, for one project at a time. Ask as many questions about it as the week holds: an app or a portal, an AI feature, the tool stack, code someone left. ### Design sprint or discovery? A design sprint tests an idea with users. This week answers the tech: what to build, with what, and what it takes. ### What does it cost? $997 per client project, one payment. Building the plan runs by the week at $997, or with whoever you choose. ### Is it a software audit? It can be: with access to the code, the plan covers its state, its risks and what to fix first. ### What if the answer is don't build? Then the plan says so, and why. [Saying no](/principles/discovery/saying-no) is part of the job. ### Will my client know about you? Only if you tell them: I don't talk to your client, and the plan carries your brand. ### Who owns the plan? You do, [from day one](/principles/philosophy/client-owns-everything): resell it, edit it, hand it to another team. ### How do I get started? Fill in the [project form](/start?cta=tech-consulting-faq), about a minute, with one client project. I reply the next working day; if it fits, with a first plan and a call invite. ## Testimonials > "Jurij understand the core problem, insists on building the right experiences for the customers." > — [Kunal Modi, Founder @ SOAPNoteAI](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurijtokarski/details/recommendations/) > "Working with Jurij is an absolute joy, consistently exceeds expectations." > — [Janis Ozolins, Content Creator](https://x.com/OzolinsJanis/status/1875168034249146609) > "Consistently delivered quality code in great time, very hard working & precise." > — [Bartosz Poźniak, CEO @ MyCointainer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurijtokarski/details/recommendations/) > "The kind of engineer that every company on the planet would be lucky to have." > — [Hosam Mazawi, COO @ LemonUnit](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurijtokarski/details/recommendations/) ## [Agencies × Varstatt](https://varstatt.com/x/agencies) Tech Consulting fits agencies best: studios that sell work with a build behind it, under their own brand. - **[White Label Websites](https://varstatt.com/x/agencies/web-development)** "Our campaign needs a site to land on."
