| Lean MVP | Growth | Scalable Platform | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | Core features, one user role, standard login | Multiple roles, integrations with existing tools, reporting | Multi-tenant, advanced security & audit, high availability |
| Build cost | $15,000–$25,000 | $35,000–$60,000 | $80,000–$150,000 |
| Monthly running cost | ~$50–$150 | ~$200–$600 | ~$800–$2,500 |
| Timeline | 4–6 weeks | 8–12 weeks | 4–6 months |
| Trade-off | Fastest and cheapest; some manual work remains | Best value for most SMBs | Built for scale you may not need yet |
Every option gets a fixed price. If it's over budget, we reduce scope — never quality.
We learn the business problem, constraints and your target budget range.
We design 2–3 realistic technical paths, from lean to scalable.
We lay out the trade-offs: performance, build time, monthly hosting and API costs, maintenance.
You choose the path; it gets a fixed price and timeline. Over budget? We phase it — core features first.
Led by Valentin Kosyanenko — 14+ years of enterprise software architecture (SS&C Technologies, MDA Space), MCAD/MCP certified.
Is this IT consulting like help desk or managed IT?
No. Unlike typical IT consulting firms, we don't manage computers, networks or Microsoft 365. We focus on software, architecture, cloud and AI decisions.
Do I have to hire CODIA to build the project?
No. The report is yours to use with any team. If you do build with us within 30 days, the Project Scoping fee is fully credited.
Why pay for an estimate instead of getting a free quote?
Free quotes are educated guesses. A scoped estimate finds the expensive mistakes before development starts — when they're cheapest to fix.
Can you review a quote or proposal from another agency?
Yes — that's the Architecture & Technology Review. We'll tell you whether the price, scope and technology make sense.
What if the estimate is above our budget?
We adjust scope and phasing so a first version fits your budget. Each option still has a fixed price.
Do you work with companies outside the GTA?
Yes. We work remotely with businesses across Canada — Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver and beyond — as an IT and technology consulting partner.
Flexibility is in the scope, never in the price — every consulting option is fixed before work starts.
Start with a free 30-minute intro call. We'll tell you which consulting option fits — or if you don't need one at all.
