Remote ×1.00

Remote

I solve it, you get results.

What It Is

Remote is the default tier. You describe the problem or task, I work on it independently using remote access to your equipment. No screen sharing, no calls — just results delivered with documentation of what was done and why.

When This Tier Applies

Applies when

✓ Scheduled configuration changes
✓ Firmware upgrades and maintenance windows
✓ Batch updates across multiple devices
✓ Firewall rule optimization
✓ VPN tunnel setup and troubleshooting
✓ Monitoring system deployment

Does NOT apply when

× You want to watch the work happen in real-time
× The primary goal is learning, not fixing
× Network is currently down (→ Emergency)
× Active security incident (→ Emergency)

How a Session Works

1 You describe the task via Telegram or email
2 I confirm scope, estimated hours, and tier
3 You provide remote access (WinBox, SSH, or VPN)
4 I complete the work independently
5 I deliver results with documentation
6 You verify, I invoice based on actual hours

→ Work is scheduled, not urgent
→ The network is operational (no outage)

What Happens During Tier Drift

Escalation from Remote

→ Live

Trigger: You join the session to watch or discuss in real-time

Example: Remote config turns into a screen-share debug session

Billing: Hours before join → Remote rate. Hours after → Live rate.

→ Emergency

Trigger: Planned work discovers a critical issue requiring immediate action

Example: Firmware upgrade reveals active security breach

Billing: Hours before discovery → Remote rate. Hours after → Emergency rate.

De-escalation to Remote

Live → Remote

Trigger: Live session transitions to independent work

Example: Screen-share debug concludes, remaining config work done solo

Billing: Hours on call → Live rate. Solo hours → Remote rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I provide remote access? +

WinBox over VPN, SSH tunnel, or any method that gives me console access. I'll guide you through setup if needed — that initial setup time is not billed.

Can I watch you work remotely? +

If you join a screen share or call, the session shifts to Live tier. Checking in briefly via chat doesn't trigger tier drift.

What if the work takes longer than estimated? +

I'll notify you before exceeding the estimate. You decide whether to continue or stop. No surprises.

Do you work during my maintenance window? +

Yes. We schedule the window together. I execute within it. Off-hours work at Remote tier is fine if pre-scheduled — Emergency is only for unplanned urgency.
