Mini Diagnostic
$500
A focused written read of one repo or one bounty-board presence: what is attracting noise, what is worth fixing first, and what we would do next. Delivered by email as a short report.
Validation Sprint
$750
One bounty or paid issue you are considering, validated end to end: scope, reproducibility, maintainer responsiveness, payout risk. You get a written go / no-go with the evidence attached.
Opportunity Shortlist
$1,500
A ranked shortlist of paid open-source opportunities matched to your stack, built from the GitHub and Algora public bounty boards, with the filtering rationale visible. See the sample deliverable for the exact format.
Bounty Design Audit
$2,500
For teams funding bounties: an audit of scope, reward sizing, labels, and contribution guidelines against what actually attracts serious contributors instead of noise.
Single invoice per engagement. No subscription, no renewal, no seats. See the sample deliverable to judge the kind of work you are buying.
