You are in. Now we go to work.
Your pitch is with the scoring desk. Here is exactly what happens next, with times attached, because promises without times are how this industry got its reputation.
What happens next.
24 hours
Your pitch is scored
A senior architect reads and scores your pitch. Everyone hears back. Nobody gets silence.
48 hours
Your Build Plan lands in your inbox
Architecture, line items, timeline, risks, CFO page one. No price inside.
UNBOUND
Fifteen minutes, if you want them
Book time below with Reddy, who scoped the architecture, or Jamie, who runs the delivery. Optional, and worth it: you will be talking to the people who read your pitch. No booking? The Delivery Desk runs daily at 15:00, walk up.
18 Sept
The $15,000 build is decided
Entries close 12:00 noon, judging runs to 16:00, and the winner is announced at 17:00. That evening, every entrant gets their build priced from their own Plan, Build-Off discount attached.
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
The scoring desk works overnight from Bengaluru, which is why 48 hours actually means 48 hours.
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.
