Real prices.
No gouging.
Pricing stays accessible after launch. Founders keep their rate forever. The pilot rates aren't a bait-and-switch. They are a marker of how we plan to operate from day one.

No bundle pricing with TALON. TALON is a one-time evaluation, not a subscription. The two products serve different jobs.
Pre-launch scouting for real designers and developers. Not a job site. A community.
- Submit your interest free. We review every application by hand.
- Accepted? A certification evaluation fee applies. Disclosed at acceptance.
- No portfolios required. Your work is verified through references and a live craft review.
- Founding members help shape the community standard every future member meets.
- A directory of real practitioners. Not a job board. Not a marketplace.
Brand, web, marketing, capability statements, decks, trade-show booth, swag.
- Real, certified designers and engineers
- AI is our force multiplier, not our crutch
- Built for the DoD and SOF small-business landscape we work in
- TALON evaluation cost credits against the engagement
Direction on the software, or on the practice that ships it.
- Software consulting: website, app, system architecture
- Practice consulting: stand up your own design and UX practice
- Cohesive, sticky software that is intentional and iterative
- Senior practitioners, DoD and SOF community context
Pricing stays accessible. Forever.
The pilot rate is the floor. Founders keep their rate as long as service stays active. The platform you helped pilot will still be the one you can afford to use ten years from now.
