The other two offers are there when the need becomes clear — not before. Where most engagements start ### Release Readiness Review A focused manual testing engagement scoped to the highest-risk areas of a specific release. We test core user flows, edge cases, error states, and anything that changed. Bugs are filed as found. You receive a structured report with every test case, full bug reports, and a clear go/hold recommendation. - 3-business-day testing window - Fixed scope, fixed fee - Structured report with go/hold recommendation - Optional findings review call For teams that ship regularly ### Standing Release Coverage The same structured review before every release cycle, at a lower per-engagement rate. Context from prior cycles carries forward, so each new cycle starts from familiarity rather than from scratch. A minimum 3-cycle commitment. - Recurring pre-release testing - Lower per-cycle rate than one-off reviews - Accumulated product context - No full-time QA overhead For teams ready to automate ### Regression Test Suite Setup A fixed-scope Playwright automation build targeting the flows most likely to cause a release incident. Delivered as a working TypeScript test suite in your repository, with a walkthrough session and handoff documentation. Your team owns it from there. - 3 to 8 critical flows automated - TypeScript, delivered to your repo - Walkthrough session included - Works best after prior engagement history Who We Help ## Built for teams without in-house QA If your team has a real release coming up and no structured way to know whether it is ready to ship, that is the gap this covers. [Get in touch](#contact) Process ## From scope call to report in hand The core testing window is 3 business days. First conversation to report delivered is typically 5 to 7 business days. 01 ### Scope call A 30-minute call to agree on what gets covered: the release type, the highest-risk areas, the testing window, and what is explicitly out of scope. No lengthy onboarding. 02 ### Access and release context You provide staging credentials, test accounts, and any release notes or known issues. We work entirely in your staging environment. Nothing touches production. 03 ### Focused testing window Manual testing across the agreed scope: core flows, edge cases, error states, and cross-browser basics. Bugs are filed as found — your team can start triaging before testing ends. 04 ### Structured report Every test case with a pass/fail result, full bug reports with reproduction steps and severity, a release readiness checklist, and a written go/hold recommendation. Delivered as a shared document. 05 ### Findings review An optional 20 to 30-minute call to walk through the report with your engineering team, answer questions, and discuss triage priorities. Not required, but available.

Before that, a scoped engagement per release gives your team the same signal at a fraction of the cost. Common questions ## Before you reach out How does pricing work? Fixed fee, confirmed before testing begins. No hourly billing, no retainer, no scope creep risk as long as scope is agreed before the testing window opens. The fee is based on the number of workflows to cover, the complexity of the application, and any extended browser or device coverage needed. We discuss scope on the initial call and confirm the number before any work starts. How long does it take? The testing window is 3 business days. Before that, a 30-minute scope call to agree on what gets covered. First conversation to report in hand is typically 5 to 7 business days, depending on scheduling and how quickly environment access can be set up. What do we need to provide before testing starts? A staging environment URL, test account credentials, and basic test data. Release notes are useful but not required. We work entirely in your staging environment — nothing touches production.
