Clarify that the fixed price is quoted in advance after a free 30-minute consultation, that no figures are published, and that bookkeeping must be with Skalar for the bundle. State that migration/onboarding is free but the service is not. Note that special matters (tax audits, tax structuring, appeals) are excluded and priced separately, that audit/legal advice is not offered, and that daily BWA and insights features are not yet live. Treat the BWA deadline as inconsistent in first-party sources (10th vs 15th) and advise verification in the contract. Do not claim independent reviews or reputation.
