A Goblinfactory team can deliver blocks of significant (usable) functionality every 1 to 2 weeks with payments being made when delivery of larger blocks (significant parts of systems) meet customer acceptance tests.

This requires a close collaboration between Goblinfactory and the client, which is why we work onsite "with" the customer during every step of development, allowing us to respond quickly during the iterative process of refining the detail of how the product needs to behave in order to deliver business value, without having to have all the details defined or known up front.

Instead of paying for hours, pay for results, with the bulk of your payments based on delivery according to the software meeting your acceptance criteria.

The percentage that is paid as a retainer, and the percentage that is paid upon delivery is entirely negotiable.

The practices that Alan uses when developing software are taken from Scrum/Agile/Lean/XP and KanBan. Which practices will work best for each project is dependant on a number of factors and is not cast in stone beforehand. For an excellent description of the the approach that Alan would adopt on your project, please read Henrik Kiberg's excellent arcticle "KanBan vs Scrum".
