01. What it is
What ongoing partnership means here
Ongoing partnership is the retainer engagement that keeps DOTxLabs on the work after the build is shipped.
New feature work, content production, design iteration, performance tuning, and the strategic conversations that come up when the business changes. Most of our work compounds inside this stage. The output is a partner who already knows the system and doesn't need to be re-onboarded every quarter.

04. Questions
What people askfirst
Monthly retainer fee scoped to the hours and capabilities in play. Most retainers land between mid-four and low-five figures monthly. The shape comes out of the conversation about what the next six months actually need.
Three months. Most engagements run twelve to thirty-six months. We don't lock anyone in past three.
Yes. We adjust the retainer up when there's heavy feature work, down when the business is in maintenance mode. The shape is the conversation, not a fixed grid.
Pause is fine. We hand off documentation, keep the system stable, and reopen the retainer when the business is ready.
