How are hours tracked, reported, and extra hours calculated for Monthly Consultation?

Hours are tracked in a shared Google Sheet, updated continuously with date, time spent, and tasks completed. You will be notified when the 20-hour limit is reached, and extra hours are billed only with explicit approval.
What is your refund policy?

Refunds are processed by deducting the hours already spent, billed at the hourly rate. A 100% refund is provided if no hours were spent due to unforeseen circumstances on the consultant's side.
How will we communicate and collaborate, and how involved do I need to be?

Short-term engagements typically use Google Meet and email. Long-term engagements use Google Meet, plus Slack or WhatsApp. Client involvement level is flexible, ranging from close participation to lighter oversight, especially for Fractional CTO services (approx. 2 hours/week meeting).
Do you sign NDAs or contracts before starting?

NDAs are generally not signed for short-term engagements due to limited access to sensitive information. For long-term engagements involving full access to codebase, team, or assets, signing an NDA is standard practice.
Can you start immediately, how many clients do you work with at a time, and what are your working hours?

Immediate start depends on current availability. Typically works with 3-4 long-term clients simultaneously. General working hours are 11 AM to midnight (specific timezone not mentioned, but implied flexible for major zones like US, Europe, East Asia, India).
