Cost + timeline + your credentials, what should I expect?

Realistic ranges for a mission-led DTC brand at $500k, $10M GMV:

• Audit (cert + supply-chain + offset gap): $499 fixed-fee, 5 business days, ~20h @ $25/hr. Written report with prioritised 90-day roadmap.
• Build (Magento + Hyvä mission-led DTC): $4,999 fixed-fee for the standard scope, 6 weeks, ~200h @ $25/hr. Includes catalog with per-SKU cert flags, EcoCart/CarbonClick/Cloverly offset integration, refill subscription workflow, plastic-free packaging checkout step, take-back RMA, Klaviyo flows, supply-chain transparency CMS template.
• Custom enterprise (full circular economy): Quoted in 24h, multi-week. Full LCA per SKU, multi-cert dashboard, supply-chain transparency portal, Loop-style returnable container deposit ledger, Worn-Wear-style take-back at scale, B-Corp annual audit prep + impact-report data export. Typically $25k, $80k.
• Ongoing: $1.5k, $5k/mo retainer covers quarterly cert renewal calendar, monthly carbon-offset reconciliation, refill churn analytics, take-back redemption tracking, and the inevitable EU Green Claims Directive prep work.

My credentials: Adobe-Certified Magento + Hyvä developer. 7+ years shipping mission-led DTC stores across apparel, personal care, cleaning, food + beverage, and packaging categories. Practical, not preachy, I’ll tell you when a cert isn’t worth pursuing or when EcoCart attach won’t justify the integration cost. Full work history on Upwork (verified) + LinkedIn.
