Standard procedure

FORM PC-01 · SECTIONS A–D
SECTION A

Submit the document

Markdown, Word or plain text. The apparatus reads it as written — headings, screens, integrations, hedges and all.

Nothing is stored until you accept the quote.

SECTION B

Receive the quote

A complexity assay prices your document against the fee schedule. Between €10 and €500. Never more.

Stamped in ~20 seconds. Valid 24 hours.

SECTION C

Settle the fee

Identify yourself by email — or via Google, GitHub or Apple. One Stripe charge. A receipt is issued at once.

Voided automatically if generation fails.

SECTION D

Collect the goods

A live prototype at your own subdomain, plus the complete source as a ZIP. Show the board. Keep the code.

No retainer. No lock-in. No follow-up calls.

The fee schedule

Every document is assayed against the tariff on the right. Simple, single-screen PRDs land near the €10 floor. Sprawling multi-role platforms with a dozen integrations approach the €500 ceiling — and stop there, by statute.

The counter never haggles, never upsells, and never phones you to "hop on a quick call". The price is the price.

Clerk's advice: the surest way to a cheaper quote is a clearer document. Every "should probably" you delete saves you forty cents and us a guess.

Inquiries

FREQUENTLY FILED
What exactly comes out of the machine?

A clickable front-end prototype: real pages, real navigation, real forms with mock data. It is built to be shown, tested and argued about — not deployed to production as-is. Your engineers inherit clean source, not a black box.

Why does the price vary?

Because documents vary. A tight two-page spec with three screens is cheap to convert. A forty-page epic with eleven integrations and a hedge in every sentence takes the apparatus considerably longer. The tariff above is applied mechanically; nobody at the Bureau "sizes the opportunity".

What if generation fails?

The Stripe charge is voided automatically and a notice is filed to your email. You pay only for delivered goods. The Bureau does not bill for its own mistakes — a policy we are told is unusual.

What happens to my document?

It is read by machine, converted, and deleted from our systems 30 days after delivery. It is never used to train anything and never read by a human unless you file a support inquiry. The shredder is real, if metaphorical.
