If you need help solving a problem, Phacility offers broad-spectrum consulting services. The service we provide works like this:
- We'll work on whatever you want, within moral and legal limits.
- We'll charge you **$1,500/hour** for the time we spend working on it.
- If you're interested in hiring us for consulting work, send us an email: **[[ mailto:contact@phacility.com | contact@phacility.com ]]**
We are not primarily a consulting company, and this service is aimed at unusual cases where our expertise is especially valuable or the situation is particularly urgent.
Services Offered
=============
You might use this service to do these kinds of things:
- **Custom Development:** We can help you with writing a custom extension, third-party application, or with modifying Phabricator (for upstream development, see [[ Prioritization ]]).
- **Disaster Recovery:** If you've run into a problem like a hardware failure or data corruption, we can help you recover and get back online quickly.
- **Imports or Exports:** If you need to export or import data to or from custom systems, we can make sure the process goes smoothly.
- **Unreproducible/Environmental Problems:** At our consulting rate, we're happy to try to reproduce bizarre environmental problems for as long as you remain solvent.
- **Wisdom and Judgement:** We are experienced software professionals and can offer advice on building an engineering organization or solving difficult technical problems, whether they have anything to do with Phabricator or not.
- **Interim Executive:** If your company needs an interim executive after an unexpected change in leadership, we're excellent candidates and competitively priced at this rate.
- **Move Furniture:** We aren't necessarily very good at this, but are happy to help you move furniture at our consulting rate.
- **Write a Biography:** Does Phabricator's marketing copy resonate in the chambers of your soul as the perfect voice for your memoir? We can help build your legacy.
These services are **not available** as consulting services:
- **Control over the Phabricator Upstream:** See [[ prioritization | Prioritization ]] for discussion of how to get things built in the upstream.
- **Assassinations:** We will only perform legal services, and are not available to assassinate your rivals.
Other Ways to Solve Problems
=======================
Many problems can be solved much more cheaply in other ways:
- We offer a substantial level of [[ https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabcontrib/article/bug_reports/ | free support ]].
- You can control our roadmap at a much lower rate, see [[ prioritization | Prioritization ]].
- We offer SAAS hosting at a much lower rate with a greater range of bundled support, see the [[ https://phacility.com | Phacility Corporate Site]].
- Phabricator is open source; all problems can ultimately be solved without our help by digging into the code.
