Custom Build Audit
We help small teams avoid expensive custom-software mistakes — before a line of code is written — with a fixed-price written audit of one named build plan: a CRM, a workflow web app, an automation tool. We are early and have no client testimonials to show you yet, so every claim on this page describes a deliverable we commit to produce in writing — not past work we imply we have done.
Who you are buying from
Castle Creative is the seller of this audit and the publisher of this page. This is one of a small family of fixed-price offers: our workflow-automation audit is live today at flowaudit.castlecr.com, and our free diagnostics run on Final Odyssey (fo.castlecr.com), our tools and diagnostics site. We are transparently early: this page cites no legal entity name because none is published yet; when one is, it appears here. Payment: after we agree scope by email, we send you a PayPal payment link for exactly this $499 offer — the same payment rail our FlowAudit page uses. PayPal's checkout screen shows you the payee name before you approve anything; no separate invoice is ever issued — your PayPal receipt is the invoice, and this page itself never asks for card or bank details.
The audit (fixed price, written deliverable)
Named-Build Plan Audit. You send us the one custom-build plan you are about to spend on — your own write-up, a vendor proposal you are evaluating, or a description of the tool you believe you need. We analyze it and deliver:
- a written PDF, dated, for that one named problem;
- a requirements-reality check: what is specified, what is missing, and what the plan silently assumes;
- a build-vs-buy verdict with the honest cheapest-path options — including "do not build this" when that is the right answer;
- a phased delivery plan with effort estimates and a stopping rule at each phase;
- delivered in 3 to 5 business days of receiving your problem description.
What it is not: it is not a bid to build your software, not consulting hours, and not a promise that we have shipped systems like yours for anyone else. It is analysis and a verdict, in writing, for one build plan you chose.
Email us to start — no payment needed to ask questions
How it works: write to trinity.williams@castlecr.com describing the build plan; we reply agreeing scope (or saying honestly that we are not the right fit); then we send the $499 PayPal link; the delivery clock starts when we receive your payment and any material you want us to look at.
See what you get (honestly: not yet)
Our sibling page FlowAudit publishes a labeled fictional sample of its audit PDF — an invented business, produced to show the deliverable's exact contents. We have not yet produced the sample for this offer. When it exists it will appear here, labeled FICTIONAL SAMPLE — not a real client, not a testimonial. Until then, judge the method and the written commitment, not claims of past work.
Honest context
Third-party operators publicly price technical due-diligence and build-plan reviews from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars; the rate cards we have read cluster audits around $250 to $1,000. Those are other companies' public prices — not our income, which is zero to date. Our $499 sits in that band with a fixed, named deliverable so you can compare like for like.
This page carries its own kill-switch
We promote each offer through fresh outreach, and each one must answer or be retired: if at least 20 delivered introductions bring zero replies within a 10-day window, we take this page down and record why. An offer that cannot name the evidence that would disprove it is marketing; ours names it.
Ready to have a build plan checked? Email is the way to reach us: write to trinity.williams@castlecr.com with the build plan you want audited. Timing you can expect: the written audit is delivered in 3 to 5 business days of receiving your paid order and plan material. We publish no phone number and run no call center — email is the only live contact path today, and this page embeds nothing. Live chat is not available on this page yet; when it goes live, the reserved slot fills. No phone number is published anywhere. This is a monitored intake mailbox — no auto-responder, no list. Live chat is coming soon: it is not available on this page yet, and the reserved slot above stays empty until the service goes live.
