[ OPS SPEC ]

YOUR WORKFLOW. YOUR MODULES. YOUR OPS.

We build custom modules that fit how you actually run your business. Not a template. Not a workaround. Software shaped around your operation, built on the OPS foundation.

// FOUNDER :: JACKSON

Built by the contractor who runs OPS at his own company. SPEC is the same hands-on build, applied to your operation.

[ HOW IT WORKS ]

01

Pick your package, sign in, lock your spot

Choose Setup, Build, or Enterprise. Sign in to OPS. Pay the deposit to lock your slot — we take a limited number of SPEC clients each quarter.

02

Tell us how you work

30 to 45 min custom intake covering your workflows, your crew, your tools, your pain points. We study it before we ever meet.

03

We meet. We build. You pay at four checkpoints.

Discovery with your analysis already done. Scope sign-off. Midpoint demo. Delivery walkthrough. Each milestone bills 25 percent of the total when the work clears review.

04

Go live with a 30-day Guarantee Refund

Live walkthrough on delivery. 30 days to request a refund by written notice — no defect proof, no cure period. Exclusions apply. Optional retainer keeps modules evolving.

[ // STANDING BEHIND THE WORK ]

01

30 days to walk away

If you are not satisfied within 30 days after the walkthrough, send written notice. No defect proof. No cure period. Exclusions apply for chargebacks, fraud, misrepresentation, prohibited workflows, breach, non-payment disablement, and continued use after refund.

02

Pay as work clears review

Four checkpoints. Deposit funds discovery. Scope sign-off funds build kickoff. Midpoint and delivery bill when the work clears review.

03

Scope is written before build

Every feature has a written acceptance test in the scope doc, signed before build kicks off. Acceptance is measured against that written scope. If a feature fails its written test, OPS rebuilds it free.

[ QUESTIONS ]

What happens after I pay the deposit?

You get the intake interview link within 24 hours. Complete it at your pace — workflows, crew, tools, pain points. We review the results and book your discovery session. Scope doc gets drafted and signed. Build kicks off. Total runtime: 2 to 8 weeks depending on tier.

How does the 4-milestone payment structure work?

Four equal payments. P1 deposit when you book. P2 when the scope doc is signed. P3 when you accept the midpoint demo. P4 when modules deliver at the live walkthrough. Each is 25 percent of the total.

What is the 30-day Guarantee Refund, exactly?

30 days after your delivery walkthrough you can request a refund by written notice stating dissatisfaction. No defect proof. No cure period. One invocation per engagement. Exclusions: chargebacks, fraud, material misrepresentation, prohibited workflows, breach, non-payment disablement, and continued use after refund.

What's the intake interview?

A 30 to 45 min guided form covering your business, team, tools, workflow, top pain points, and what success looks like 90 days from now. You fill it out at your pace. We show up to discovery already knowing your operation.

What does 'scope sign-off' mean — and what if I want changes after?

A signed document listing every feature with a written acceptance test, exclusions, midpoint definition, delivery definition, and subscription terms. Sign-off triggers the P2 invoice and locks the build. Post-sign-off changes flow through change orders.

What's the difference between a 'minor change' and a 'major change order'?

Minor: under about 4 hours, billed at $225/hr CAD, bucketed to 30 minutes, invoiced at milestone close. Major: 4 hours or more, fixed-price quote, written acceptance, separate row on your project. We classify; you accept or decline.

Do I need an OPS subscription? When does it start?

Yes. SPEC delivers modules into your OPS subscription. Discovery and build run before billing starts. The subscription rate adjustment lands on the first billing cycle 30 days after your walkthrough.

What's the subscription premium and how is it calculated?

Setup: +15% on base OPS sub. Build: +30%. Enterprise: +50%. Locked at scope sign-off. Renegotiable at the 12-month mark if actual infra cost diverges. Heavy-infra modules may add a flat monthly surcharge disclosed at scope time.

What is the maintenance retainer?

Optional after the support window ends. Setup: $250/mo. Build: $450/mo. Enterprise: $750/mo. Covers bug fixes, minor in-scope enhancements, and OPS platform-update compat patches. Pause or cancel anytime via Stripe.

What happens if my build takes longer than estimated?

Delivery windows are good-faith estimates, not firm dates. If we expect a slip greater than 7 days we notify within 48 hours with a revised ETA. No automatic credits. If the slip is unacceptable, refund options apply per the matrix.

Can I refer someone? Do I get anything for it?

Yes. $500 CAD per referred engagement that completes. Paid 30 days after the referred customer's walkthrough, provided no refund was invoked. Requires Stripe Connect KYC. Canadian referrers crossing $500/yr cumulative trigger T4A reporting.

Is there a contract? Where can I read it?

Yes. The full SPEC Terms of Service lives at /legal?page=spec-terms. You accept the current version when you pay the deposit. The version hash is recorded with your acceptance for the dispute evidence chain.

What if I am not sure which package I need?

Start with Setup. Lowest commitment. During discovery we will tell you straight whether your needs require Build or Enterprise. Pre-scope-signoff upgrades are pro-rated — what you paid for Setup counts toward the new tier.

Who owns the code you write?

OPS owns all code, configurations, designs, templates, and reusable know-how created for SPEC. Customer owns its business data. While Customer maintains an active OPS subscription and is not in breach, Customer has a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use delivered modules inside OPS; the license ends when the OPS subscription ends or the engagement is refunded.
