Talk about a retainerWhy $27K · €25K · 100K is the floor on Build
Under $27K · €25K · 100K we cannot guarantee the deadline, the scope, or the team. At that price point the math forces shortcuts: junior engineers, rushed architecture, skipped integration work. We do not ship that. Under $27K · €25K · 100K, we route you to our Digital Employee product instead.
