Get a 20-minute scoping call — leave with a price band and a delivery plan.

Then we'll say so on the call. Our published price bands run $4K for a small web-app pentest up to $200K+ for full custom CRM platforms. If your budget is below the floor for what you need, William will tell you on the call and point you to a cheaper path — Retool, Airtable, an offshore option you can vet, or a phased plan that hits your number. No pitch, no upsell.

That's normal and exactly why the call exists. You don't need a written spec, an RFP, or a finalized budget. You need a problem you're trying to solve and a rough sense of urgency. William will help you turn that into a scoped option set and a price band in 20 minutes. If after the call you decide it's not the right time, you walk away with the scope document anyway — it's yours to use however.

No. The call is the requirements conversation. Show up with the business problem (e.g., 'our spreadsheet is breaking', 'we need to take payments', 'we just got a security letter from a customer'), and William will translate that into scope, options, and a price band. If you have written docs already, great — send them after booking and we'll come prepared. If not, the conversation is the discovery.

Then we end the call early and you get a written referral to someone who is a fit, where possible. QUANT LAB USA is founder-led and we don't take engagements we can't run well — that means turning down projects that are wrong for us is part of the job. No hard feelings, no follow-up sequence, no being added to a CRM you didn't ask to be in.

Within 24 hours you get a written follow-up: the scope we discussed, the price band, the proposed delivery plan, and any open questions. No proposal-by-proposal-by-proposal. If you want to move forward, the next step is a fixed-quote engagement letter. If you don't, the document is still yours — you can take it to another firm and use it as a brief. We won't chase you.
