After launch

Studio clients can retain us for growth systems, CRO, and iteration sprints. Capacity stays limited — we would rather extend a working relationship than onboard ten low-context projects.

Straight answers

How does a mxstermind Studio engagement start?

We begin with discovery and diagnosis — brand, funnel, and technical audit — before design or code. You receive a strategy brief and explicit sign-off gate. Execution starts only after direction is agreed, which prevents expensive rework.

How are projects managed day to day?

Discord is the system of record: weekly updates, milestone reviews, and asset delivery. We do not hide progress behind ticket portals. Telegram works for async intake; Discord holds delivery.

What does mxstermind deliver at each milestone?

Deliverables are defined in your signed brief — strategy documents, design systems, staged builds, or growth reports. Monthly iteration reviews track outcomes scoped in the contract, not vanity metrics.

Can I use escrow or crypto payments?

Yes. We are escrow-friendly and accept crypto where agreements require it. Financial standards are published on our ethics page so expectations are clear before deposit.
