Which tier do you need?

GUIDE

Most people start with the Free Sprint. That’s the point – it’s free because it’s where most ideas either prove themselves or get quietly retired.

Add the Expert Review (£129) if you want a human to sanity-check what came out. Add the Spec Package (£399) if you need a document you can hand to someone else. Take the Premium Consultation (£699) if you’re serious about moving into prototyping and want a direct route into Cast Iron CAD.

Stages 6–10 – design, develop, engineer, manufacture, deliver – are quoted project-by-project through Cast Iron CAD once the spec is solid.

EXPLORING?

Start with the Free Sprint. Cost you nothing and gives you enough to decide whether it’s worth going further.

DECIDING?

Add the Expert Review £129. A second opinion from a real engineer – before you commit serious time or money.

PITCHING?

Use the Spec Package £399. A branded document that stands up in front of investors, partners, or boards.

BUILDING?

Take the Premium £699. Strategy session, roadmap, and a direct route into Cast Iron CAD for delivery.

NOTE · GETTING STARTED

You don’t need to pick a tier now.

Start with the free sprint. Upgrade only if and when the output tells you it’s worth it. If you never spend a penny with us, that’s a fine outcome too.
