Your assets. Your keys. Your call.
When Assay Ventures builds something for you, here's how ownership works — before, during, and after the engagement ends.
Three briefs cover the full spectrum: handing off a website, handing off a full technology platform, or continuing to work with us after the build ships. Click whichever one fits the conversation.
The three briefs
How you take control of a website we build — Framer, Webflow, or the simple-editor path. Four options, one recommendation, clear monthly costs.
How you take full ownership of a technology platform we build — three transition postures, full transfer inventory, 60 – 90 day timeline, readiness checklist.
How we price your work after the build ships. We don't bill hours — we assess fair market value, quote 20% below it, and deliver in a fraction of the time. One model, no retainers, no timesheets.
Which brief to send when
Kickoff of a website build
Send Brief 01 at kickoff. Sets expectations early: "here's what you'll get, and here's how you'll eventually edit it." Prevents surprise at project close.
Kickoff of a platform build
Send Briefs 02 + 03 together. Shows you've thought about the full lifecycle — not just the build, but the transition and the long-term relationship.
Mid-engagement check-in
When a founder starts asking "what happens after?" — send the relevant brief. Answers the question calmly before it becomes anxious.
30 days before handoff
Send the matching handoff brief (01 or 02) to trigger the choice-of-path conversation. Pairs with a 30-minute call to walk through it.
Handoff day itself
Brief 03 goes here. Once they have their keys, show them exactly how every future request is priced — 20% below market, delivered in a fraction of the time.
Anytime they ask "what's this going to cost long-term?"
All three, in order. Tells the whole economic story: build cost, optional handoff cost, and exactly how post-handoff work is priced. No surprises, ever.
