Scope of Delivery

A community, ready to run.

A live community plus every operating document your team needs to run it without us.

Deliverables 04 commitments
01

Delivery in three to fourteen days

Discourse, Circle, or Mighty Networks — provisioned on your subdomain with SSL, brand colours, and trust-level rules calibrated to your niche. Most builds ship inside two weeks; nothing drags into the next quarter.

02

Information architecture, not boilerplate

A category and tag taxonomy engineered around the way your members actually search, post, and discover. Members land in the right space on their first visit — no orphan threads, no dead categories.

03

Moderation as an operation

Not a "be kind" notice. We deliver an escalation matrix, automated trigger configuration, niche-tuned banned-word lists, and a 30-day moderator onboarding checklist — PDF and Loom walkthrough included.

04

Brief-anchored refund guarantee

If the delivered build does not match the brief you submitted, we refund the full purchase to the original card within thirty days. No interrogation, no retainer escape clause, no rebuild obligation.

Process

Brief to launch, six clean steps.

A predictable hand-held delivery — chat with the build team at any step.

01

Discovery brief

Tell us your niche, member roles, and monetization model after checkout.

02

Provision platform

Discourse, Circle, or Mighty Networks — we spin up your hosted instance and subdomain.

03

Design & configure

Categories, SSO, branding, gamification, and trust-level rules tuned to your niche.

04

Onboarding flow

Welcome message, badges, member journeys, and your member welcome kit.

05

Stripe & monetization

Free, paid, or freemium — paid memberships, trials, and tiers wired up end to end.

06

Handover & docs

Admin guide (PDF + Loom), moderation playbook, and a 30-day support window.

Investment

Fixed scope. Fixed price.

A defined deliverable at a defined price. Custom scopes are negotiated on the order chat.

Payments & Compliance

Tokenised at submission. Never on our servers.

Card details are tokenised by Authorize.Net at submission. We store the last four digits — nothing more.

Tokenised payment vault
What This Means 04 guarantees

256-bit TLS, end to end

Every checkout session encrypted in flight. No mixed-content paths, no insecure form posts, no unsigned redirects anywhere on the site.

PCI-DSS Level 1 gateway

All transactions routed through Authorize.Net — one of the most widely-audited card processors in North America, used by Fortune 500 merchants.

Tokenised, not stored

Card details are exchanged for an opaque transaction reference at submission. We hold the reference and the last four digits — never the underlying number.

Brief-anchored 30-day refund

If the deliverable does not match the brief you submitted, we refund 100% to the original payment method. No interrogation, no rebuild clause.
