Engagement models

Ways to work with StromHold

We scope every project to the outcome you need, not a fixed feature list. Start small with a discovery sprint, commit to a build, or hand us the long-term running of your automation.

What's true of every engagement

No matter how you work with us, these come as standard.

Fixed, transparent scope

You get a clear estimate and roadmap before work starts. No surprise invoices, no hidden change fees.

Senior-led delivery

You work directly with the engineers building your system, not a layer of account managers.

Secure by default

Entra ID access, encryption, and complete audit trails are part of delivery, not an upsell.

Built to be handed over

Documented architecture and clean code mean your team can run and extend what we deliver.

GDPR-aligned

Data minimization, retention controls, and privacy-first design are baked into every workflow.

Outcome reporting

Dashboards and reviews show the cycle time saved and the value the automation actually delivers.

Pricing FAQs

The questions teams ask us most often before getting started.

Why don't you list fixed monthly prices?

Because we build bespoke automation, not a subscription product. Every workflow has a different scope, so we quote each engagement after a short scoping conversation, and the estimate is fixed before work begins.

How long does a typical project take?

A discovery sprint runs two to three weeks. A production build typically lands in six to twelve weeks depending on the number of integrations and approval paths involved.

Can we start small?

Yes, and most clients do. A discovery sprint is a low-risk way to validate a process and see exactly what a build would involve before committing to it.

Do we own what you build?

Yes. You own the code and the system. We document the architecture and hand it over so your team can run and extend it independently.

What happens after launch?

You can take full ownership, or move onto a managed automation retainer where we monitor, tune, and extend the system as your business changes.

Not sure which model fits?

Tell us about the process you want to fix and we'll recommend the right way to start, with a fixed estimate.
