    Frequently asked questions

    What to know before you book a session or start an engagement.

    What happens in a 1 Hour Consultation?

    The 1 Hour Consultation is a $500 Zoom call with Calvin Goah. Bring your questions about what you're building: how to architect it, how to change an existing app, how to start a new one with or without AI, and how to deploy it. You leave with concrete next steps.

    How is the 2 Hour Consultation different?

    The 2 Hour Consultation ($1,400) is a deeper working session. Calvin digs into your product and helps you prototype and build the features you're working on during the call. You end with working progress, a zip file with all the code, and a path for what to build next.

    How much do sessions cost, and when do I pay?

    The 1 Hour Consultation is $500 and the 2 Hour Consultation is $1,400, both paid in full when you book. After paying, you pick a time on Calvin's calendar. Fractional senior engineering and fractional CTO engagements are priced individually, with a proposal after an initial consultation.

    Do I need to be building with AI?

    No. Sessions cover any web or software product. If you want AI in your app, Calvin can help you decide where it fits and how to build it. If you don't, the session focuses on architecture, features, and getting your app shipped.

    Do you work remotely?

    Yes. Every session happens over Zoom, and Goah Labs works with founders and businesses anywhere in the United States.

    What if I need to cancel?

    If you cancel before your session starts, your full fee is refunded. Once the session has started, the fee is not refunded. If Goah Labs has to cancel, you get a full refund.

    What is the difference between a fractional senior engineer and a fractional CTO?

    A fractional senior software engineer joins your team part-time to build: complex integrations, APIs, cloud deployment, and performance work. A fractional CTO leads technical strategy: architecture decisions, the technology roadmap, team leadership, and vendor management. Both are ongoing engagements with custom pricing, and fractional CTO work has a 3-month minimum.
