THE PATH TO A PAID PROJECT

Know what you get
before you pay.

A short enquiry starts the conversation. Payment happens only after you see and accept the written scope and terms.

01 / ASK

Tell us the decision.

Choose a service and share the question or task. Sending a brief is free and creates a private project conversation.

02 / DECIDE

Review the proposal.

We check fit and put the deliverable, limits, total price, timing and terms in that conversation. You can decline.

03 / RECEIVE

Pay, then get the work.

Accept and pay through the available checkout. We deliver the agreed work in the room, with its included correction or Q&A.

Start with one question ↗

04 / A CLEAR FINISH LINE

Made for you.
Handed over properly.

Your project ends with the agreed files and a clear next step. Here’s how we get there.

01

Agree the brief.

We confirm the output, formats, total price, timing, revision allowance and usage rights in writing before payment.

02

Review the work.

We share the work in your private project conversation. Check it against the brief and bring your feedback together.

03

Refine within scope.

Use the revision, correction pass or Q&A included in your package. Extra work is agreed and quoted separately.

04

Keep the deliverables.

Final files or download links are shared in the conversation, with the editable formats, exports and guidance listed in your package.

YOUR PROJECT, IN ONE PLACE

Save your private conversation link when you submit a brief. It’s where you return for updates, feedback and handover. Replies are asynchronous.

05 / KNOW WHAT YOU’RE PAYING FOR

The work.
The running costs.
Clearly separated.

The Surj fee covers the agreed project. Some outputs also need third-party services to run, publish or use. We identify those costs before you commit.

01 / YOUR SURJ FEE

The agreed deliverables.

Production of your selected package, the listed final formats and its included revision, correction or Q&A allowance.

One-time project price.
No automatic Surj subscription.
02 / THIRD-PARTY COSTS

The tools around it.

A domain, hosting, AI or software subscriptions, API usage, paid fonts, stock licences or advertising spend, where needed.

Separate from the package.
Only the services your project needs.
03 / ADDITIONAL WORK

A bigger brief.

Extra pages, slides, languages, revision rounds, production integrations or ongoing maintenance beyond the agreed scope.

Quoted and agreed separately.
Before that work begins.
FOR EXAMPLE / A $249 WEBSITE

You pay Surj to create the page.

The starting scope includes one responsive page, editable source, publishing notes and one consolidated revision. Your domain and any hosting subscription sit outside that $249.

We agree the publishing approach and any provider costs before work starts. The final quote confirms the total payable and any applicable tax.

See the website package ↑
Do I receive editable files?

Where listed in your package: website source, SVG brand assets, an editable PowerPoint, an editable document, or the source or editable file for an automation. Your written scope confirms the exact formats. Other outputs, such as static content visuals, are delivered in the agreed final format.

Can I use the work after handover?

We agree usage rights before payment. Any third-party asset or font licences are identified separately, so you know how the final work can be used.

What happens if I need help later?

Your package lists its included revision or support allowance. The clinic includes two written Q&A rounds within seven days of delivery. Ongoing support, maintenance and additional changes need a separate agreement.

Does submitting a brief commit me to buying?

No. It starts a conversation. We agree the scope, seller details, total price, schedule, payment, cancellation and refund terms before you accept an order. Read the service terms.

06 / WHY SURJ

Fast thinking.
Work that moves.

Surj is a play on “surge”: a forward burst of energy. That’s the idea behind the studio.

Founded by GC, surj.ai uses AI to help people turn plans into practical work. Research, writing, design, code and coaching connect in one place, with an agreed brief and a clear finish line.

AI leads the production. You bring the context and approve the outcome. We’re building the business in public, including what works and what still needs work.
