Amount due today
Two lines: unpaid $350 monthly retainers for April through August, plus half of the leftover extra hours at $37.50/hour (half of the MSA $75 rate). GST extra on both.
The platform has been live at sageprint.netlify.app. The MSA starts the monthly retainer on the 1st of the month after go-live. Same-day bug fixes, chatbot operation, two free upgrades per quarter, and a quarterly strategy call sit inside that $350. Those four included upgrades are not billed at $75/hour.

How the extra hours already cover your included upgrades
The proposal framed this build at about 150 to 200 hours. From March 30 to August 11 we spent 43 work days on the platform. The figure we use with you is about 380 to 420 hours. That is roughly 180 to 270 hours more than the original frame.
Those extra hours are already in the month table below. They are not a second pile of work. Four included upgrades come off that pile at no $75/hour charge. We are asking for half of what is left, at $37.50/hour (half of the MSA $75 rate).
| Hours | |
|---|---|
| Proposal frame | 150–200 h |
| Delivered | 380–420 h |
| Extra already in this record | ~180–270 h |
Four included upgrades, already inside those hours
Your $350 monthly retainer includes two free upgrades per quarter. Premium work beyond that is $75 CAD / hour in the MSA. The extra hours already logged in past months cover those included upgrades, so we are not billing the four of them at $75/hour.
| Quarter | Included (not billed extra) | Where the hours already sit |
|---|---|---|
| Apr–Jun 2026 | 2 upgrades | Already inside extra hours in Apr / May / Jun |
| Jul–Sep 2026 | 2 upgrades | Already inside extra hours in Jul / Aug |
| Used | 4 included upgrades | No $75/hour line for these four |
What is left after those four is still extra delivery on the original deploy fee of $7,872. At the MSA premium rate of $75/hour, that leftover would be about $13,500 to $20,250 CAD.
We are asking for half of that leftover, billed at $37.50/hour (half of $75). This invoice uses the middle extra of 225 hours.
| Hours | Rate | CAD | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leftover extra at MSA rate (not billed at this rate) | 180 to 270 h | $75.00 | $13,500 to $20,250 |
| This invoice: half leftover at $37.50/h | 225 h | $37.50 | $8,437.50 |
| GST 5% | $421.88 | ||
| Extra hours due | $8,859.38 |
The other half of the leftover extra stays in the platform, not billed. Going forward, new premium work beyond the two included upgrades per quarter is $75/hour, as the MSA already says.
Hours behind the live platform
