Pricing

Pricing and engagement terms

Audit pricing is fixed before work starts. The quote reflects repo size, stack fit, source access, and recovery risk after intake and source preflight.

How the audit is priced

  • The software recoverability audit is fixed fee and prepaid.
  • The quote is issued after intake confirmation and source preflight, before substantive work begins.
  • There is no obligation to proceed beyond the audit.
  • Follow-on work is quoted separately and starts only after explicit approval and funding.
  • A full refund applies if source preflight rejects the engagement before substantive work begins.
  • Once substantive audit work starts, the audit is non-refundable.
  • Prices are stated in AUD. GST is not included unless expressly stated.

Current commercial fit

  • Australia-first B2B engagement posture.
  • Quotes are issued in AUD.
  • Follow-on work is quoted separately from the audit.

What happens after the audit

The audit stands on its own. If a follow-on slice is worth doing, Shipward issues a separate scope and quote before any implementation starts.

That keeps the commercial decision clear: pay for diagnosis first, then approve only the next step that still makes sense.
