Six things founders ask us before signing. Here is how we answer each one.
"I am worried I will pay for a code shell that has to be rewritten."
Every line reviewed by a senior engineer before it ships, architecture documented before sprint one, walkthrough at handoff. Your next team reads it without a re-discovery phase.
"Every agency quote sounds reasonable. How do I tell which one will actually deliver?"
Fixed-scope proposal with deliverables, timeline, and a named lead before you sign. References from past clients available on request.
"The last agency said yes to every feature, then the timeline tripled."
Scope locked before sprint one. New requests become change orders with a price and timeline attached. No quiet slippage.
"I want to own the code, the repo, and the cloud accounts."
Work-for-hire from day one. Repo, cloud, and IP transfer to your control on sprint one, not the final invoice.
"I need someone who can tell me what to cut, not what to build."
We cut anything that does not prove the core use case or unblock a revenue path. In discovery, before sprint one.
"I have read about AI tools that can build an MVP in a week. I still need something production-ready."
We use AI for code generation, refactors, and tests. Senior engineers decide what is safe to automate. Production code holds up after launch.
"How do I make sure the team that scopes the project is the team that writes the code?"
The engineers who scope your build write your build. No spec relay, no rotation, no different team at kickoff.

Five things buyers told us they wished they had on their last project. We made them non-negotiable.
Work-for-hire contract signed before kickoff. Repo, cloud accounts, deployment credentials, and IP transfer to your control on sprint one. The audit trail is yours from the first commit, not from the final invoice.
Every feature in scope passes one of two tests: does it prove the core use case, or does it unblock a revenue path. If it fails both, we cut it in discovery, not after the deadline slips.
One named PM aligned to your time zone, no rotation, no relay chain. Same person from discovery through launch, with a defined response SLA during your business hours and written end-of-day handoffs.
Every engineer staffed on your project is senior, with deep production experience. The engineer who scopes your build is the engineer who writes the code, not a different team handed the spec at kickoff. No bait-and-switch.
AI for code generation, refactors, and tests. A senior engineer reviews every line. Architecture and security stay with the human accountable.
Every Friday you get a click-through demo of real product running in a real environment. Not a slide deck, not a screen recording. You can open it, send it to a stakeholder, and break it.
Most agencies optimize for billable hours. We optimize for shipped product, on time and on scope. Here is the practical difference, line by line.
Discovery
Scope discipline
Code ownership
Team seniority

After launch
This is the median engagement across all project sizes. Lean MVPs often finish in 8 weeks. Complex builds can run 14 to 16.
Need phases mapped to dates?
Share your constraints and we’ll outline a realistic timeline.
Three engagement sizes that cover most projects. Anything outside these gets a custom scope after a discovery call.
2 to 4 weeks
Best for: Testing a single hypothesis with a clickable prototype or a thin-slice product before committing to a full build.
8 to 10 weeks
Best for: Web-first SaaS with one core flow, basic auth, and one to two integrations.
10 to 16 weeks
Best for: Multi-flow SaaS, mobile companion app, third-party integrations, basic compliance scaffolding (SOC2-ready architecture, GDPR data handling).
Custom scope or unsure which tier fits? Tell us in a discovery call and we will send a fixed-bid proposal.
We plan the post-launch model from sprint one. Whether you take it in-house or keep us on, you never start from zero.
Architecture, credentials, production runbooks, and a walkthrough with whoever picks up next. Your team starts where we stopped, not from re-discovery.
After go-live we stay through stabilization. Bugs that surface under real traffic get fixed. No new contract, no extra invoice.
For clients who keep us on: maintenance, evolution sprints, integrations, scaling, and quarterly reviews. Same team, monthly cadence, no re-onboarding.
We build LLM integrations, retrieval, agentic workflows, and fine-tuning. We do not bolt AI onto products as marketing decoration.
We use AI for boilerplate, refactors, code review, and test scaffolding. We do not let it write architecture or security-critical code.
Have AI scope questions?
We’ll show where AI helps and where seniors stay in control.

"We know our project is complicated because we need to integrate and make different systems work. The work meets our expectations, and we haven't identified any data gaps."
Cost, timeline, ownership, and the things buyers quietly worry about with agencies. Here is what we get asked most often, with straight answers.
Validation prototypes: $5k to $15k. Lean MVPs: $20k to $50k. Standard MVPs: $50k to $120k. The final number depends on scope, integrations, and compliance requirements. We send a fixed-bid proposal after the discovery call.
Lean MVPs ship in 8 weeks. Standard builds run 10 to 12 weeks. Complex products take 12 to 16 weeks. Discovery sets the timeline, and we do not adjust it after kickoff without your written sign-off.
You do, from day one. The repo, cloud accounts, and IP are in your control under a work-for-hire model. There is no "ownership transfer on final payment" clause.
No. Every engineer staffed on your project is senior, with significant production experience. The engineer who scopes your build is the engineer who writes it. No bait-and-switch, no rotation mid-sprint.
Fixed scope and price are agreed in writing before sprint one. Reference calls with past clients in your industry are available on request. Every feature in the proposal has a use-case justification, not a "nice to have" line item.
Daily overlap with US East Coast clients in your morning hours. Full business-day overlap with UK and EU clients. Your dedicated PM aligns to your schedule, with fast Slack response during your business hours and written end-of-day handoffs so work continues while you sleep.
Yes. AI accelerates code generation, refactors, tests, and PR review. Senior engineers decide where it fits and review every line. Architecture and security-critical code stay with the human accountable.
Every project includes a post-launch bug-fix window at no extra charge and no separate contract. Beyond that, monthly retainers are available with the same team, covering new features, scaling work, performance, integrations, and ongoing iteration. No re-onboarding, no ramp-up time.
Share your idea. We will review your scope, name what we would cut first, and send a fixed-scope proposal shortly after the call. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you on the call.
