Effective September 2, 2026

The rules are the product.

BuildOrPass is a paid decision service for clearly described website and software projects.

One brief

Describe the required outcome, must-have features, maximum budget, and required date. Do not include passwords, private keys, regulated personal data, confidential source code, or material you are not authorized to share.

One fee

The submission fee is $2 USD. Payment buys a review and decision. It does not buy development work and does not guarantee BUILD.

One decision

We record BUILD or PASS within 24 hours after verified payment. A factual clarification does not reopen pricing or create a negotiation.

BUILD

BUILD means we are willing to proceed inside the submitted maximum budget, subject to identity checks, a written scope, lawful use, contract signature, and the stated deposit. The offer expires after 48 hours.

PASS

PASS ends that submission. We provide one category of reason: Budget, Timeline, Scope, Fit, Capacity, or Risk. A materially different project requires a new pitch.

Public decisions

Private pitches never appear on the judgment board. Anonymous and named pitches may appear only after a decision, according to the visibility choice submitted by the customer.
