§ Tier 02 · Sprints
Five sprints. Fixed scope. Fixed price. No "let's scope it" meetings.
Each sprint has a published price, a published timeline, and a published deliverable list. Pick the one that matches the moment, fill in the intake, and the engagement starts the Monday after the deposit clears. Need ongoing engagement instead of a sprint? See the Care Plan retainer or the Fractional Tech Lead.

How to choose
If you can name the problem in one sentence, that sentence usually points to a single sprint. Below is the mapping from buyer pain → recommended sprint. When two sprints fit, default to the Audit — its fee credits 1:1 against any follow-on within 30 days.
| If this sounds like you… | Pick this sprint | Why |
|---|---|---|
| "I don't know which problem is most expensive to leave." | Audit Sprint | P0/P1/P2 ranking with fix estimates. Read-only diagnostic. |
| "My LCP is over 2.5s on mobile and Lighthouse says < 70." | Performance Rescue | Sub-1s LCP, public PSI URL on delivery, outcome-tied. |
| "EAA is in force, a procurement RFP just asked for WCAG conformance, or my legal team is nervous." | Accessibility Sprint | WCAG 2.2 AA, manual NVDA + VoiceOver, published statement. |
| "My site is on a page-builder, has 25+ plugins, my editors can't change a heading without breaking the layout." | Launch Sprint | Full rebuild · custom theme · admin training · 12-month warranty. |
| "My traffic is global, my LCP is regional, and 'cache everything at the edge' is what I need next." | Headless Migration | WP + Next.js, edge-cached. Editorial parity locked. |
| "I just need ongoing maintenance — security, backups, small changes, monthly Lighthouse delta." | Care Plan (retainer) | Monthly · $400/mo · cancel after month 3. Not a sprint. |
| "I need a senior engineer on retainer for hours-flexible work." | Fractional Tech Lead | Configurable hours. Not a sprint. |
