Investment & Scoping

Diagnostic Rates & Scopes

Transparent engineering rates, fixed-sprint models, and custom scoping factors for crash investigation and stability audits at Think Harbor Base.

Engagement Pricing Philosophy

At Think Harbor Base, we believe technical consulting should be predictable and transparent. We do not charge ambiguous hourly minimums or bill for non-productive meeting overhead. Our engagements are structured around clear engineering deliverables, defined time horizons, and dedicated senior specialist allocations.

Factors Influencing Custom Scopes & Estimates

When an application has multi-platform architectures, custom hardware integrations, or specialized requirements, we tailor our scope based on the following concrete factors:

  1. Target Architecture Diversity: Applications incorporating multiple native NDK ABIs (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64) or custom C++ shared libraries require additional symbol unstripping and memory modeling time.
  2. Crash Volume & Obfuscation Layering: High-obfuscation codebases utilizing nested bytecode transformers, dynamic Dex loading, or commercial packers require specialized mapping reconstruction.
  3. Hardware & Peripheral Dependencies: Custom Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), external USB peripherals, or camera HAL integrations require physical test lab setup on representative OEM devices.

Requesting a Formal Scoping Proposal

To receive a formal diagnostic proposal and scoping document:

  1. Submit an overview of your application stack and current stability metrics via our Contact Form.
  2. Execute our standard bilateral mutual NDA.
  3. Our senior engineers review sample anonymized crash logs and return a scoped engagement proposal within 1 business day.
