Working terms

Who you'd be contracting with

Engagements are with Willpowered LLC, the company behind this practice and behind Wilson (meetwilson.ai). You work directly with me, Colin Robertson. There are no subcontractors on your engagement unless we agree to one in writing.

Insurance

Professional liability (errors and omissions) and cyber liability coverage are carried. A certificate of insurance is available on request before you sign anything.

Fees and invoicing

• Every engagement is fixed fee, quoted in writing before you commit. No hourly meters.
• Every proposal states the expected return in measurable terms: what the agent should save or raise, and how you'll know. If the math doesn't clearly beat the fee, I'll say so and tell you not to build.
• An agent roadmap is $2,500, invoiced once at the start.
• Custom builds start at $7,500: half invoiced at kickoff, half at handoff. The written proposal states the full cost, including monthly running costs (typically under $200 a month) and who pays them.
• Team training (your team builds its own agent, with me coaching) is $4,500 fixed: four weeks, up to five people, invoiced once at kickoff.
• Wilson setup and tuning is $1,500 fixed; Wilson's subscription is billed separately at meetwilson.ai.
• No auto-renewal, ever. Nothing recurs without a new, explicit agreement.

Ending an engagement

Either of us can end an engagement with 30 days' written notice. You pay only for work delivered to that point. You keep everything built so far, and your data leaves with you (see Data practices).

Who owns what

You own what I build for you: the code, the prompts, the integrations, and the documentation. That is a contract term, not a courtesy. If I'm ever unable to continue, another engineer can pick up the work without me. The only things I retain are my pre-existing tools and Wilson itself, which is licensed by subscription.

Two organizations I've worked with, Econic and Empactful Studios, have agreed to take reference calls from prospective clients. Ask on the call and I'll make the introduction.

Where the practice stands

I'll say here what I say on the homepage: this practice is young. Wilson shipped this year and the client list is short. What you get in exchange for being early: more of my time, tighter scope, and early pricing. What you don't get: a junior associate doing your work while a partner takes the calls.
