While you wait

One small ask while you wait.

If someone on your team knows the current portal better than the form could capture, your ops lead, the developer who lives in it, the person who owns the content, share this page with them. Their detail makes your Plan sharper.

And anything worth reading, a brief, a sitemap, an audit, an old scope that went nowhere: email it to unbound@hermitcrabs.io within the next 24 hours and it goes straight into the scoring file

 

PS —

The scoring desk works overnight from Bengaluru, which is why 48 hours actually means 48 hours.

From the scoring desk
to your calendar

Fifteen minutes with the people who read yourpitch

No slides, no pitch back at you. Bring the awkward questions, the budget politics, the thing you did not put in the form. Price only comes up if you raise it. Pick your person; the calendar invite does the rest.
