FAQ

Optional, but helpful for MSPs. A short ticket summary improves trust and makes internal reconciliation easier for clients.

List the retainer as one item and show additional hours as separate items if you exceed the included amount.

Use a short bullet summary (e.g., “Patch review, IAM updates, monitoring checks”) rather than minute-by-minute logs unless requested.

Split fixed-scope work by deliverable phases and include handover/documentation as a separate line item.

Yes. A short severity or impact note helps clients map the invoice to their internal incident records.
