Pricing· How high-value work runs

We do not sell templates,
which is also whyno invented prices.

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute diagnostic. Custom systems and long-term advisory work are priced per project scope — and you get a precise number after the diagnostic.

Pricing FAQ· most about pricing

What owners ask
The six questions owners ask most.

Why not just publish a range for custom systems? NT$300,000 to NT$3,000,000, say.

Too broad a range is worth nothing. The actual 6–12 weeks of work varies enormously with your starting point — integrating three legacy systems is more than three times the work of building one from scratch. After the free 30-minute diagnostic we give you a precise range.

Is the free 30-minute diagnostic really free? Any conditions?

Genuinely free, no conditions. No pitch, no course, no contract. Johnny Yang listens to how you do it now and tells you where hours are leaking and where the risk is buried. If it is not a fit, that is fine.

Is 30 minutes enough to get anywhere?

Enough to settle the direction. Across 34 implementations, most companies are stuck on one of a handful of things. Thirty minutes is enough to tell you whether this is worth doing and roughly what it costs; anything deeper gets its own session.

What does the long-term retainer usually cost?

From NT$80,000 to NT$300,000 a month depending on scope. A monthly meeting, and reachable in between. About 80% of clients continue into the retainer after their custom system ships — because the real value of a system only shows over 6 to 18 months.

Can I pay in instalments?

A custom system can be paid in 3–4 instalments against milestones. The long-term advisory work is a monthly retainer.

Why no templated packages?

Because a template is the same thing sold to a lot of people — the opposite of how we work. Selling one template to 100 clients dilutes the attention each one gets.
