Before you start.
- How do credits work?
- Each credit is one finished asset. You pick a monthly plan, and the matrix above shows what each type costs in credits. You spend them across the month on any mix you want.
- How do we start?
- With a short onboarding, about a week. You give us hands-on access to your product and docs, we collect your audience, brand, and channels, and we build a small set of approved reference pieces we write everything against, so you see the quality bar before you spend a credit. After that, you request assets as your release cycle demands.
- What if I need more than my plan?
- Add credits anytime, on approval. We quote the rate up front and never bill an overage without your go-ahead. If you run over most months, we move you to a larger plan.
- Do unused credits roll over?
- Up to a quarter of your monthly credits roll over for one month, then expire. The pool is sized for a steady cadence, so that buffer absorbs a lighter week without banking work we can't keep pace with. If your volume keeps shifting, we right-size your plan.
- How is the DX documentation set scoped?
- The DX documentation set is scoped to depth. A small set runs around 8 credits and a large one up to 16, with 12 as a typical mid-point. We agree on the scope before we start.
- Why do some assets cost more credits?
- Credits scale with depth. Heavier, more technical work costs more because it takes more research and more of your product to get right. A case study or white paper draws on real deployments and real architecture, so it sits at the top of the matrix. A social pack or newsletter sits at the bottom.
- What access do you need?
- Read-only access to your real product and docs, enough to write from the real product instead of a brief. You decide what we can see, and you can revoke it at any time.
- How do revisions work?
- Each asset includes a round of revision. Send notes on the draft and we turn the revised version around. Revisions don't cost extra credits.
- What's out of scope?
- We deliver finished content assets. We don't build software infrastructure or take on open-ended consulting.
- How is my data handled?
- Standard work runs through commercial pipelines. Teams with compliance requirements can opt into the Enterprise zero-retention pipeline: isolated cloud endpoints with optional hardware encryption. That posture is opt-in, not the blanket default.
- Is there a contract?
- No. Every plan is month to month with no lock-in. Adjust your plan or stop at the end of any month.
Context Systems is run by a single operator. One person writes your content and works directly from the live software and your docs, so you always know exactly who is doing the work.
