At Unthinkable Solutions, we understand that different projects require different approaches. While our proven time and materials (T&M) model continues to serve many clients successfully, we’re excited to also offer feature-based pricing as an alternative for projects where it makes sense. This flexibility allows us to better align with varied client needs and project requirements.
Understanding Your Options
1. Time and Materials (T&M)
Our traditional T&M model remains popular for good reasons:
- Maximum flexibility to adapt to changing requirements
- Transparent cost structure based on actual work performed
- Ideal for projects with evolving scope or exploration phases
- Perfect for long-term partnerships where agility is key
- Allows for rapid pivots and priority shifts as business needs change
2. Feature-Based Pricing
For certain projects, our feature-based pricing offers compelling advantages:
- Predictable costs tied directly to deliverables
- Simplified budgeting and planning
- Focus on outcomes rather than hours
- Reduced administrative overhead
- Clear alignment between investment and business value
Our Foundation for Excellence
Regardless of the pricing model you choose, our technical software engineering capabilities ensure successful delivery:
1. Deep Domain Expertise
- Business Logic Mastery: Our teams understand the complex relationships between features, data models, and business outcomes
- Pattern Recognition: Experience across multiple domains lets us identify common challenges and proven solutions
- Strategic Architecture: We make technical decisions that anticipate future business needs and scale requirements
- Risk Management: Deep domain knowledge helps us identify and mitigate potential issues before they impact development
2. Revolutionary Architecture
Our declarative coding approach delivers significant advantages:
- 50% Less Code: Reduced complexity means fewer bugs and easier maintenance
- 90% Less Boilerplate: Smart patterns and automation eliminate repetitive work
- 40% Faster Development: Reusable components and automated workflows ensure consistency
- 60% Fewer Bugs: Built-in validations and type safety create a foundation of reliability
How We Make Both Models Work for You
Predictable Development
Our pattern-based development establishes standardized approaches that ensure consistent implementation across all projects. Through our declarative approach, we significantly reduce complexity, making development challenges more manageable and solutions more maintainable. Our automated workflows, built on robust continuous integration and deployment pipelines, guarantee reliable and repeatable delivery processes. Thanks to our deep domain expertise, we can accurately map dependencies and requirements, preventing surprises and ensuring smooth project progression.
Quality Standards
We implement built-in validation through comprehensive type safety and automated testing, catching potential issues early in the development cycle before they become problems. Our library of pre-tested, production-proven components reduces risk while accelerating development. The platform’s architectural guardrails automatically enforce best practices, ensuring consistent quality across all work. Through automated quality checks and metrics, we maintain high standards throughout the development lifecycle, delivering reliable and robust solutions.
Efficient Resource Utilization
Our declarative patterns handle technical complexity automatically, allowing developers to focus on implementing crucial business logic. We’ve standardized routine tasks through automated operations, eliminating repetitive work and reducing potential errors. By leveraging our domain expertise, we prevent costly architectural missteps before they occur. This approach enables our developers to focus on high-value problem-solving rather than routine coding tasks, maximizing the value we deliver to our clients.
Choosing the Right Model
We work closely with each client to determine the best pricing approach for their specific needs:
When T&M Makes Sense
Time and materials pricing excels in dynamic environments where flexibility is paramount. This model is ideal when your project requires the ability to adjust scope and priorities as you go, particularly during evolving requirements or discovery phases. T&M provides detailed visibility into development efforts, making it perfect for teams that want to closely monitor and adjust their development process. This approach particularly suits organizations that prefer an agile, iterative development approach and need the ability to pivot quickly based on market feedback or changing business conditions.
When Feature-Based Pricing Makes Sense
Feature-based pricing shines when your project has well-defined requirements and a clear vision of the desired outcomes. This model works exceptionally well for organizations that need predictable budgeting and planning, allowing for more straightforward financial forecasting. It’s particularly valuable when you want to focus discussions on concrete deliverables and outcomes rather than time tracking and hourly rates. Organizations that prefer simplified project administration often find this model reduces overhead, especially when working with a clear roadmap of deliverables and defined milestones.
Looking Forward
At Unthinkable Solutions, our goal is to provide the pricing model that best serves each client’s unique needs. Whether you choose our traditional T&M approach or opt for feature-based pricing, you’ll benefit from our technical excellence, deep domain expertise, and commitment to delivering exceptional results.
Our flexible pricing options ensure we can create the right partnership structure for your success, backed by our proven technical capabilities and focus on continuous improvement and innovation.
This approach represents our commitment to meeting diverse client needs – where technical excellence, business understanding, and aligned incentives combine to deliver predictable, high-quality results, regardless of the pricing model chosen.
