How to use these examples
What does the case “Mid-market example: Software Rescue” explain?
“Mid-market example: Software Rescue” states: Rescue legacy code, fix bugs, create documentation – estimate effort.
This static scenario frames a clearly bounded first project stage. The other cards on this page use their own case names and assumptions.
Are the euro figures fixed quotes?
No.
They are budgeting guides for mid-market software work. A binding proposal still requires scope, quality targets and dependency review in a discovery call.
Why are there multiple example files for the same calculator?
Because teams differ in integrations, compliance pressure and timelines.
Pick the narrative closest to yours instead of averaging every knob manually.
Where is the live calculator for “Software Rescue”?
On the parent calculator route where you can tweak parameters interactively.
Use the examples first to sanity-check magnitude, then iterate digitally.

We translate your constraints into an actionable budget view.
Typical pricing models (overview)
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
