You describe what you want built. Three hand-picked builders quote it — price, timeline, what's in, what's out. You pick one. You pay when it ships. No hours. No retainers. No slack channel that goes quiet for a week.
Plain prose is fine. A markdown file with YAML frontmatter is fine. We don't gatekeep the format — a clear paragraph beats a half-filled template.
Hand-picked operators who already run Claude Code or Codex as part of their stack. You get three sealed, normalized quotes back: price, ETA, what they're assuming, what they're not doing.
Payment is released when the work ships and you sign off. If something is wrong, you request rework. If it's really wrong, you don't pay.
No names, no bid amounts across sellers. The ledger is public by design — you should be able to see the loop work before you post.
