Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)

We know you have questions. We have
answers to some of them.

Do you provide fixed quotes?
Yes. For clearly defined pieces of work we can provide a fixed quote up front, so you have certainty on cost before we start. For more open-ended engagements we'll agree an estimate range and keep you updated as we progress.
What is your minimum and how do you round time?
The minimum billing is one hour. Time is rounded to the nearest fifteen minutes.
What counts as billable time?
Billable time includes any work we do on your behalf: investigation, implementation, configuration, documentation, meetings, and coordination with third parties. We don't bill for general sales conversations or high-level scoping before you've approved work.
How is the estimate tolerance set?
For each scoped piece of work we'll agree an estimate with a tolerance band (for example ±20%) based on the information available at the time. If we discover material changes or risks that could move us outside that band, we'll flag it early and re-confirm scope and budget with you before proceeding.

I engaged Yusuf to assist with migrating our company's operations, including email and data assets, from Google to Microsoft Azure. His performance was exceptional, and he completed the project ahead of schedule. Since then, Yusuf has provided invaluable assistance to both our company and our clients with the setup and troubleshooting of various Microsoft services. Whenever we encounter an issue, we no longer attempt to resolve it ourselves — we reach out to Yusuf, who handles everything quickly and efficiently. I can't begin to explain how much he has been an asset to us and I would highly recommend his services. He is easy to communicate with, super knowledgeable, and quick to respond.

With Yusuf's transparent and articulate communication style, even the most intricate technological concepts were made comprehensible.
