Tech Advisory Fixed scope

Second Opinion on One Error

Send us one error message or stack trace and a senior engineer tells you in writing what it actually means.

Delivered in

1 working day

Revisions

One round, included

Ownership

Yours from day one

Overview

What this engagement is

Error messages are written for the person who wrote the code, not for you. Paste the message, the stack trace and roughly what you were doing when it appeared, and a senior engineer replies with what the error actually means, the two or three things that usually cause it, and the first thing to check. This is deliberately the cheapest thing we sell. It exists so that a stuck afternoon costs a hundred rupees instead of a day, and so you can see how we write before you spend more.

Non-technical founders trying to understand what a contractor is reporting

What we need from you

Questions this engagement raises

We say so and tell you exactly what to capture next. If the message was genuinely unreadable we refund it.

Not at this price. This buys a diagnosis. If fixing it is a real piece of work we will say what that would involve.

Send three orders, or if they look related, send the most representative one and mention the others.

This is engineering work, not a physical product — nothing ships and there is no stock to run out of. Delivery is to the working days stated above, into systems you control, and the refund terms set out what happens if we miss the date.

Fixed fee · GST included

₹100

The whole amount, once. No retainer, no minimum term, and the tax is already inside the figure.

Repeats

More than one repeats the same scope — a second environment, a second service, a second batch of screens.
