Uncharted

(03 packages)

Retainers

Three lengths. Every engagement is milestone-based, runs through the client portal, and ends with deliverables that work inside your own LLM, whether that is Claude, ChatGPT or Claude Code.

In every retainer

  • 01

    Milestones, not hours

    Discovery produces named milestones with acceptance criteria. Milestones are the unit of value.

  • 02

    Run through the portal

    Meetings run through the client portal, transcripts attached and shareable with your team.

  • 03

    AI-ready handoff

    Each deliverable ships as a human-readable version (deck, Figma, site) and a machine-readable context pack (markdown and structured data).

  • 04

    Fees partly in equity

    A portion of every retainer can be paid in equity instead of cash, so we are invested in the same outcome you are.

Our pricing grows with you

A portion of every retainer can be paid in equity instead of cash: up to 25% on 3-month engagements and up to 50% on 6-month and longer, so we're invested in the same outcome you are. We take equity as advisory shares or a warrant for common stock, whichever fits your cap table.

  • Advisory shares

    A grant of shares or options vesting monthly over the engagement, with a cliff.

    Fits when: Early stage, no priced round yet.

  • Warrant for common stock

    The right to buy common stock at a set strike within a set window, often 5–10 years.

    Fits when: A priced round or SAFE cap exists to reference.

Equity terms are set in the engagement letter and are subject to counsel review. Not legal or financial advice.
