What doesn't fit in two weeks

These start with a scope and prototype, and get their own quote.

  1. Marketplaces with several kinds of user and money moving between them.
  2. Apps that need App Store review.
  3. Old systems with no API to connect to.
  4. Moving years of records from an old system into a new one. Cleaning them up is most of the work.
