Terms that apply to all three
- Feedback
- Two rounds: one on the story, one on the final. Beyond that we quote.
- Ownership

- Maintenance
- Small updates, a changed figure or a fixed line, free for a year. New work is quoted.
- Hosting
- On your domain or on ours, your choice. The page is static and cheap to host anywhere.
- Credit
- "Built by Borrowed Days" stays on the work.
- Payment
- Half to start, half on delivery.
First-partner offer
For the first organisation in a new field, the launch version is free: one story, English plus one Indian language as text, your data and branding, a hosted link, and the facilitator note. In return we ask for the credit, two introductions to organisations you think should see it, and a short quote if you are happy with the result. Honest feedback is welcome and stays private unless you agree to publish it. Anything beyond the launch version is quoted at the prices above.
What we need from you
- The data behind your report, or the report itself with page references.
- One named reviewer, so feedback comes through one person.
- If possible, fifteen minutes with one worker from your network to sanity-check the day.
