Dapols applies the forward-deployed engineering method to a small-business-sized scope: discovery, baseline, design, build, validation, handoff, and 14 days of stabilization. Founding pilots start at $1,500.
Human services are scoped and invoiced directly, not sold through Polar. The founding pilot is $1,500 for the first three accepted scopes, then $2,500; 50% is due at kickoff and 50% at approved handoff. Software subscriptions and unusually complex integrations are excluded.
