01 / What we do
Four things, and we do all four ourselves.
No account manager, no handoff to a build partner. The person who draws the screen is the person who opens the pull request.
01
Teardown
Ten working days. We watch forty real sessions, read your analytics and sit in on six customer calls, then hand you a ranked list of what is costing you money with a figure against every line.
10 working days / fixed price
02
Redraw
Pricing page, signup, checkout, the first four emails. Drawn in full, in your brand, in every state a real customer hits, including the ones where their card fails.
2 weeks / reviewed twice
03
Build and ship
React and TypeScript, in your repository, behind your flags, reviewed by your engineers. You get a pull request and a person in your standup, not a folder of files and an invoice.
3 weeks / your repo
04
Hold the number
Eight weeks of reading after it goes wide. If the lift we quoted is not there, we keep working until it is and we do not bill the difference.
8 weeks / no extra fee
02 / What we solve
The spend is fine. The last four screens are not.
Almost everyone who calls us has a working ad account and a broken paid path. They are buying the same customer twice: once from the platform, and once more on the second attempt after the first one gave up.
31of every 100
people are lost between the pricing page and the first successful charge. That is the median across the last twelve teardowns we ran.
What we find
Twelve teardowns, 2025 to 2026
- A pricing page written for the founder rather than the buyer.
- Eight fields asked before the page has said what anything costs.
- A checkout that drops the basket on a failed card and never says why.
- Three teams touching the funnel and nobody owning the number.
- A redesign two years old that nobody measured before or after.
What we leave
Every engagement, without exception
- One page that answers price, fit and risk before the fold ends.
- Two fields to an account, and the rest asked after the value lands.
- Every failure state written, drawn, built and tested.
- One owner, one number, one reading every Tuesday morning.
- A measured baseline your finance team can argue with.
03 / How it runs
Four passes. Nineteen days to the first one live.
A press run is not one pass, it is one pass per ink, and the sheet is only finished when they line up. This is ours.
Pass 01
Days 1 to 10
Teardown
Forty session replays, your analytics, six customer calls and a read of every screen on the paid path. You get a ranked list with a figure on every line, and it is yours to keep whether or not you carry on with us.
Ranked list, sized
Pass 02
Days 8 to 24
Redraw
Every screen on the paid path, drawn in your brand, in every state. Reviewed with you twice while it is still cheap to change, not presented once at the end when it is not.
Screens, all states
Pass 03
Days 19 to 40
Press
We build it in your repository behind a flag, ship it to a slice of traffic first, and read it for two weeks before it goes wide. Your engineers review every pull request.
Merged and live
Pass 04
Weeks 7 to 14
Register
Eight weeks of reading after it is wide, against the number we quoted before we started. If it is not there, we keep working at no charge until it is or until we agree together that it cannot be reached.

05 / What they said
Clients, in their own words.
They found forty thousand euros in the first ten days, and the rest of the work had paid for itself before the invoice cleared.
The teardown was the first honest document anyone had written about our funnel. It was uncomfortable and it was right.
Jonas WeillHead of growth, CadenceThey shipped into our repository, on our branch, with our review rules. Nothing was thrown over a wall.
Priya NandakumarEngineering lead, Otto & FernWe had been redesigning the pricing page every nine months for four years. It has not moved since they left.
Ilse ter HorstFounder, KindlingThe number was under what they quoted at week six. They stayed another month and did not send a bill for it.
Tomas BrandtChief operating officer, Nine YardsSix people asked us who did it. That has never happened with a checkout.

06 / Straight answers
The seven things people ask before they book.
Prices included, because a page that will not say what something costs is the exact page we get hired to fix.
What does it cost?
A teardown is 9,500 euro, fixed. A full engagement, teardown through the eight weeks of measurement, runs between 48,000 and 72,000 euro depending on how many surfaces are in scope. We quote one number before we start and it does not move.
What happens if the number does not move?
We keep working at no charge until it does, or until we agree together that the ceiling is somewhere we cannot reach. That has happened twice in forty one engagements, and both times we refunded the build.
Do you write the code, or hand over a design file?
We write it. React and TypeScript, in your repository, behind your feature flags, reviewed by your engineers under your own rules. You get a pull request, not a folder.
Who owns the work?
You do, from the first file. No licence, no retainer, no lock on anything we build. If you never speak to us again the work keeps running.
How much of our team's time do you need?
About three hours a week. One reading on Tuesday, one review on Thursday, and standing access to whoever is allowed to merge.
Can we start with just the teardown?
Most people do. It is a fixed price, it takes ten working days, and the ranked list is yours whether or not you carry on. Roughly two thirds carry on.
We already have designers. Where do you fit?
On the paid path, for one quarter, while your team keeps the product. We are not trying to become your design department and we will say so on the call if that is what you actually need.
