PB-04 • Post-Launch Monthly Retainers

The Handover-to-Retainer Conversion Script

Best For: Converting a completed fixed-price build into a recurring $1,500–$3,500/mo reliability and optimization retainer.

Milestone Pricing Rule: Pitch the monthly SLA at Milestone 3 sign-off while the value of the newly deployed system is top of mind.

Now that Milestone 3 is passing all production checks, we can handle handover in two ways:

1. Self-Managed Handover: Your internal team uses the included runbook to monitor API changes, token rotations, and webhook retries.
2. Managed Reliability & Growth Retainer: Our engineering team monitors uptime 24/7, maintains all third-party API connectors, and ships up to 12 hours of new workflow improvements every month.

Would you like me to include the Managed Retainer option on your final sign-off sheet?
