Describe your featureFrequently asked questions
Can I include feature funding in my research grant?
Yes. Custom development can be budgeted as "software development services" or "other direct costs" in most grant frameworks. We provide formal invoices and quotes.
Do commissioned features become available to all users?
Yes. Every commissioned feature becomes part of Firetail for the entire community. Contributors are credited, but the feature is not exclusive. This is how we keep Firetail growing for everyone.
How long does development typically take?
Small features (file format support, export options): 2–4 weeks. Medium features (new analysis module): 1–2 months. Large features (new major capability): 2–4 months. We provide specific estimates for each request.
