  "faqs": [
    {
      "question": "How much does Cheeky-Fit charge?",
      "answer": "There is no published price list. A Map engagement is fixed price, Build & Run is quoted per project once the map exists, and a fractional team is a monthly retainer. Work is scoped to one business at a time."
    },
    {
      "question": "Why is there no pricing page with numbers?",
      "answer": "A number invented before we understand your operation is a guess dressed as a quote. Pricing follows the map, which is the first point at which an estimate means anything."
    },
    {
      "question": "What are the three engagement shapes?",
      "answer": "Map is a short scoping engagement ending in a written plan you own. Build & Run is the full stack built and then maintained. Fractional team takes over an existing stack month to month."
    },
    {
      "question": "What happens on a scoping call?",
      "answer": "About an hour. We ask what you sell, how a job moves through the business end to end, where the data lives, and what gets re-keyed by hand. You leave knowing whether custom software is worth it, including when it is not."
    },
    {
      "question": "What do I own at the end?",
      "answer": "Everything: source, endpoints, model configuration, and data, delivered into your accounts and repositories. Ending a retainer does not end your access to any of it."
    },
    {
      "question": "Am I locked in to Cheeky-Fit?",
      "answer": "No. The stack runs on standard cloud infrastructure and is documented so another team can pick it up. Leaving is a handover, not a negotiation."
    },
    {
      "question": "Who will I be working with?",
      "answer": "The engineers doing the work. There is no account management layer between you and the people writing the software."
    },
    {
      "question": "How are change requests handled?",
      "answer": "As expected work, not as penalties. A plan that survives contact with reality unchanged is a plan nobody read; the build sequence is reviewed with you as it goes."
    },
    {
      "question": "Will you sign an NDA?",
      "answer": "Yes. A mutual NDA before the scoping call if you want one. Your operation does not become a case study unless you ask for it to be."
    },
    {
      "question": "How is the work sequenced?",
      "answer": "Whichever layer removes the most manual effort ships first and goes into real use, rather than waiting behind a full launch. Remaining layers follow the map, each usable when it ships."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do you take on existing systems?",
      "answer": "Yes, through the fractional team engagement: taking over a stack that already runs, adding the AI layer to it, and covering maintenance and on-call month to month."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do I start?",
      "answer": "Email jpande-cfo@cheeky-fit.com describing what your business sells, how work moves through it, and where the manual effort is."
