the things people ask before they book. straight answers.
- what does sixtom do?
- you (or your AI) got something to a working demo. i take it from there to production-grade — secure, stable, ready for real users — in a two-week sprint. you own it on day 10.
- what's the difference between the audit and the sprint?
- the audit ($1,500) is a written breakdown plus a short video walkthrough of what's blocking you and whether a sprint makes sense — start here if you're not sure. the sprint ($10,000) is two weeks of me building it to production. the audit credits toward the sprint if you book within 30 days.
- how much does it cost?
- the audit is $1,500 flat. the sprint is $10,000 flat, or 4 weekly payments of $2,500. the first 3 clients get the sprint at $7,500.
- how long does it take?
- the sprint is two weeks — live in production on day 10. the audit turns around within a week.
- what if it won't ship in two weeks?
- there's a scope check on day 5. if we can both see it won't make it, we stop there. you keep everything built and pay only for the time used.
- how many clients do you take?
- one a month, by appointment. that's the whole model — you get my full attention, not a queue.
- who's behind sixtom?
- Salvatore (Sam) D'Angelo — lead engineer at Made In Cookware (multi-million visitors a month), formerly at Rhone. sixtom is the solo practice.
- is it really all async?
- yes. daily progress drops in your channel, with one short mid-sprint sync to course-correct. no standups.
- what is the "vibe-code tax"?
- what your half-finished, AI-built prototype quietly costs you per year — lost deals, downtime, weekends. there's a no-email calculator at /tax.
