#! Code: Drupal 11: Migrating from Jadu Into LocalGov Drupal: Part 4
A Fixed-Price Drupal 11 Upgrade. if It Runs Over, We Cover It.
Procurement can't approve "it depends." Every Drupal 11 quote arrives as a range because most vendors price before opening your contrib stack. Ours opens it first: complete deprecation analysis and dependency resolution before a number goes on paper. Then one price and one date go in writing, and any overrun is ours. Free scan, production untouched.
