Fixed fees for defined outcomes, monthly retainers for leadership and standing teams, all under one Master Services Agreement. You know the price before work starts.
Thirty minutes with the founder. We tell you what is realistic, including when the answer is that you do not need us yet.
NDA first, then a two-week fixed-fee assessment that ends in a written roadmap and a priced proposal.
One master agreement, one statement of work per engagement: scope, milestones, acceptance criteria and price in writing.
Weekly demos and a written changelog, then source, runbooks and recorded walkthroughs. Stay on for operations if you want.

Our hard rule
Ideaxa Solutions is a consultancy, and that is all it will be. We do not build, sell or license products that compete with our clients' products. It is a hard rule, and we will write it into your Master Services Agreement.
Contract terms
Industry-standard terms your procurement and legal teams will recognise. Your own paper is fine too; we will redline it.
Because we do not ship a quick fix and walk away. We ship systems that survive their first audit, their first on-call rotation and their first enterprise customer.
You can, and you should use AI tools — we do, and they make us 30 to 50% faster on routine work. An assistant will write you thousands of lines that demo well.
It will not pass your enterprise customer’s security questionnaire, your first SOC 2 audit, your first real production incident, or the renewal meeting where the customer asks who built this and what happens when it breaks. That second half is what an engagement buys.
Set as a constraint in the first commit, so the audit becomes paperwork rather than a fire drill. Ideaxa delivers to these frameworks for clients; it does not hold them as its own certifications.
No. Ideaxa Solutions is a consultancy only, and we do not build, sell or license products that compete with our clients' products. It is a hard rule, we will write it into your MSA, and everything we build for you is assigned to you on payment.
No. Work is priced as a fixed fee per outcome or a monthly retainer, both under a Master Services Agreement with a statement of work. Hours are something we manage, not something you audit.
A written review of your architecture, security, cloud cost and AI readiness, a roadmap with options and trade-offs, and a priced proposal for the next step. If you sign a follow-on SOW within 60 days, the assessment fee is credited against it.
Technical Advisor is about a day a week of review and decisions. Fractional CTO is 15–20 hours a week of owned leadership: roadmap, architecture, hiring and board narrative. Embedded Architecture & Build is near full time and includes hands-on engineering in your repositories.
We sign a mutual NDA before any discovery, and the assessment can run on a short-form SOW. Delivery sprints, pods and retainers start once the MSA and SOW are signed.
Yes. We quote India-based clients in INR plus 18% GST, invoice from our registered office, and work to the DPDP Act by default.
You do. All work product, including source, infrastructure code, models and documentation, is assigned to you on payment. There are no licence fees and no proprietary lock-in.
