Approach to revisions. Each phase resolves at a single sign-off. Direction is set during phase work, not negotiated against rounds. Iteration before sign-off is included; substantive change after sign-off is a Change Order. Small adjustments - copy fixes, typography passes, spacing, asset reformatting - are handled inline at no charge.

Change Orders. Repositioning, restructure, or net-new direction after a phase has been signed off are scoped and quoted in writing before work begins, or billed at $625/hour with a 4-hour minimum. Change Orders are invoiced separately and are not subject to bundle pricing.
