New work

Start a project.

hire@scrocle.cloud

That address is for project enquiries. contact@scrocle.cloud is for everything else. Quoted by scope after the brief. There is no public rate card. If the work is not a fit, I will say so.

This opens a draft in your mail client. If it does not, write to hire@scrocle.cloud. There is no public calendar: a call is useful after I have read the problem.

How I work

  1. 1

    Brief

    Describe the problem, the current stack if known, and the deadline. Include hosting, operating system, or hardware when they matter.

  2. 2

    Assessment

    I confirm whether the work is a fit, decline it, or propose a smaller first phase. I do not accept projects I cannot deliver.

  3. 3

    Scope

    We agree deliverables, exclusions, and how progress is reviewed. Fees are quoted by scope; there is no public rate card.

  4. 4

    Delivery

    You receive source, documentation, and a repeatable way to run the system after handover.

  • Scope and fees

    Quoted after the brief. There is no public rate card. If the problem is still undefined, the first phase is time-boxed so neither side is guessing.

  • IP

    Source and documentation transfer with the paid work unless a license is specified in the scope. I do not reuse your data, prompts, or private code in other client systems.

  • NDA

    I will sign an NDA before a detailed brief when you need one. Send it with the first message or say that one is coming.

  • Handover

    You receive source, how to run it, and the notes required to operate it without me. A short defect window after delivery is part of the scope, not a separate product.

  • Support

    The handover is the support plan. Ongoing operations, monitoring, or a retainer are scoped separately if you want them.

  • Communication

    Remote, India Standard Time. Async first: email or Telegram. Status on the cadence we agree in the scope, not a daily stand-up unless the work needs one.

Questions

Fixed price or hourly?
Fixed scope after the brief when the edges are clear. A time-boxed assessment or first phase when they are not. I do not publish a rate card.
Who owns the code?
You do, after payment, unless the scope names a license (for example an existing open-source component).
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, before a detailed brief.
What does documentation mean?
How to build and run it, what the moving parts are, where secrets live, and what to do when a job fails. Not a novel. Not a slide deck that ages out.
Do you take retainers?
For systems that have to stay up, yes — after the first delivery, as a separate agreement.
Why not a booking link?
A twenty-minute call is useful after I have read the problem. Write hire@scrocle.cloud. If a call is the right next step, we set a time.
