Revenue Public FAQBuyer question page
This page handles the practical questions that usually slow payment: deposit route, category comparison, scope boundary, kickoff timing, delivery window, revision boundary, teardown timing for a smaller paid start, remaining-balance close-out, renewal timing, retainer timing, refund and reschedule handling, how risk is controlled, how to handle explicit objections, why the wallet route is direct, what to do when the buyer still says they need to think, whether a call is even needed, and why moving now can be commercially rational.
FAQ
Standard route is a 30 percent deposit paid directly to the wallet, usually in USDC on Base. After payment, send the tx hash and project brief so kickoff can start immediately.
Open Public Deposit Lock Open Payment Page Open Public Payment Guide Open Public Payment Follow-UpWork starts after deposit confirmation and receipt of the minimum kickoff items: tx hash, brief, and any relevant links.
Open Public Kickoff Open Public Payment Follow-Up Open Public Command CenterThe standard framing is a short sprint, usually within 72 hours once scope is clear and kickoff inputs are in.
Open Public Kickoff Open Public PricingThe agreed tier stays narrow on purpose: one bottleneck, one sprint, one clear delivery boundary, and one measurable outcome.
Open Public Scope Boundary Open Public PricingAnything that changes the agreed job into a broader build, second deliverable, or second workflow becomes new scope rather than a hidden extra.
Open Public Scope Boundary Open Public ApprovalRevisions apply inside the agreed sprint boundary. New bottlenecks or new deliverables are treated as new scope, not hidden add-ons.
Open Public Scope Boundary Open Public Pricing Open Public ApprovalUse the teardown package when the buyer wants a smaller paid first step. It stays narrow on purpose: one workflow teardown, one light offer-page polish pass, one revision, $299 total, and a $90 deposit through the same wallet route.
Open Public Teardown Open Public Pricing Open Payment PageOnce the delivered sprint is approved, the next step is the remaining balance through the same wallet route. One light revision can stay inside the original boundary, but new scope becomes a new sprint instead of blocking close-out.
Open Public Balance Collection Open Public Scope Boundary Open Payment PageTreat the next bottleneck as a fresh sprint, not a hidden add-on. Close the current sprint cleanly, define the next scope separately, and use a fresh deposit through the same wallet route if the renewal is approved.
Open Public Renewal Open Public Scope Boundary Open Public PricingIf the work is recurring, small, and ongoing, define a monthly retainer instead of pretending unlimited support is included. Set the lane, boundary, and monthly payment clearly before work continues.

Open Public Buyer Checklist Open Public Why Now Open Public Pricing Open Public ApprovalDo not reopen the whole sale. Match the objection to the shortest public page: pricing for cost, why-now for urgency, risk control for safety, buyer checklist for hesitation, or payment guide for wallet friction.
Open Public Objection Open Public Pricing Open Public Payment GuideYes. The public terms page makes the default working rules visible before funds move: written scope, deposit route, kickoff condition, revision boundary, rescheduling expectation, and payment confirmation path.
Open Public Terms Open Public Scope Boundary Open Payment PageUse the public refund and reschedule page before payment or before kickoff starts. The default handling stays written: pre-kickoff timing or payment changes should be rewritten clearly, while started work is handled as reserved capacity and active scope rather than silent unused credit.
Open Public Refund And Reschedule Open Public Deposit Lock Open Public TermsRisk is controlled by making the decision smaller and clearer: narrow scope, explicit boundaries, visible proof, staged commitment through a deposit instead of full prepay, and a fixed payment-to-kickoff path.

Open Payment Page Open Public Command CenterShort Answers
Standard route is 30 percent upfront in USDC, then kickoff starts once the tx hash and brief are in.
If you want to start smaller before a fuller sprint, I can begin with one workflow teardown, one light polish pass, and a $90 deposit.
It runs as a short sprint, usually around 72 hours once the scope is confirmed and the kickoff items are in.
I keep it narrow on purpose so it stays easy to approve, easy to ship, and easy to measure.
If the leak is already live, later is not neutral. It usually means another week or month of the same loss.
If the scope is already clear, I can keep the whole close path in writing instead of adding a call that does not change the decision.
I reduce risk by narrowing the scope, staging the commitment, and making payment-to-kickoff explicit, not by making fake promises.
I do not want to argue the whole deal. I just want to match the objection to the shortest useful page so the next move is clearer.
Before funds move, I want the scope, deposit rule, and kickoff condition written clearly enough to forward.
If the delivered sprint looks good, the next move is the remaining balance through the same wallet, not a reopened scope loop.
If the next bottleneck is obvious, I will package it as a fresh sprint with a fresh deposit, not hide it inside the finished work.
If the work is recurring, I will package it as a monthly retainer with a defined lane, not leave it as open-ended support.
Wallet
Keep the payment step explicit: copy the wallet, send the agreed deposit, then return the tx hash and brief in the same thread.
