Engagements

Three ways to begin.

Every engagement is priced and scoped in writing before work starts. Anything outside that scope becomes a written change order, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.

I

Agency site

A site that loads fast, reads well on a phone, and turns visitors into named leads instead of sitting there as a brochure.

  • Full rebuild, mobile first
  • Quote request forms that capture usable data
  • Carrier appointments and producer bios
  • Local search fundamentals
$6,5003 weeks
II

Intake instrument

Stop reassembling accounts from three separate emails. Structured capture up front, validated before it reaches a producer.

  • Guided submission capture by line of business
  • Validation rules that catch gaps at entry
  • Document upload tied to the account
  • Routing into your AMS or inbox, clean
$12,5005 weeks
III

Custom instrument

For the workflow that is genuinely yours: the thing your agency does that no off-the-shelf system has ever handled properly.

  • Certificate issuance and tracking
  • Producer and commission dashboards
  • Submission packaging for wholesalers
  • iOS and web applications
From $25,000Scoped per build

Who you are hiring

T.J. Gallo

Most software vendors selling to agencies have never held a license, never handled a submission, and never sat with a carrier's underwriting requirements. The gap shows up in the product, and you pay for it in workarounds.

I hold the license and I write the code. Paenula builds a small family of precision instruments for this industry, and takes on client engagements in the same discipline: defined scope, honest sequencing, and a delivery date that holds.
