You’re doing work that matters. What’s keeping you up at night?

Every relationship starts with a Starter: one fixed price, one to four weeks, yours to keep.

  • You know the price before we start. One price, one scope, one to four weeks.

  • You decide what’s next. You finish knowing whether to go further with us. Either answer is a good outcome.

  • You keep the work. Act on it yourself, or hand it to anyone else. It’s yours either way.

Which of these sounds like you?

Pick the one closest to where you are. Each page has a short checklist to confirm it.

  • You haven’t built it yet.

    You have an idea worth building, and you need to know it holds up, or you need others to see what you see.

  • You have a big idea, or someone’s asking you to bet on theirs.

    Idea CheckBefore you bet the farm.

    You walk away with a written go / no-go on whether it can be built, and what it would really cost.

  • You know it’s good, and you can’t make anyone else see it.

    PrototypeSomething they can hold.

    You walk away with a working first piece of your app, in code you own outright.

  • You’re building, and it’s harder than it should be.

    Your team is busy, but not on what matters, or you need more hands and you’ve been burned before.

  • Everyone’s busy. You’re not convinced it’s on the right things.

    Team DiagnosisYou’re not imagining it.

    You walk away with a written assessment of what’s going wrong, and what to fix first.

  • You need more engineers, but every one you add makes your days heavier.

    Team TrialTwo lighter weeks.

    You walk away with two weeks of our engineers inside your team, and a clear answer on whether we’d lighten your load.

  • It’s built, and it isn’t working the way you hoped.

    You’re running on code you don’t trust, or you built something good and the right people haven’t found it.

  • It works, mostly. It’s slow, it breaks, and you don’t trust where it came from.

    Code AuditWhat you actually have.

    You walk away with a keep-or-rebuild verdict, with what every fix costs.

    $2,500Two to three weeksSee if it fits

  • You built something worth using. Right now it’s the best-kept secret in your space, and that’s not a good thing.

    Get NoticedYour best-kept secret shouldn’t be.

    You walk away with a plan to get the right people engaged (developers on your tools, or your first 100 users), with the biggest gap already fixed.

Partnerships

When you’re ready to go deeper. Every Starter ends with a recommendation, and when you’re ready, most grow into one of these two Partnerships: deeper, closer, and built on what the Starter uncovered.

  • Custom Build

    For you if: you know what to build, and you want it built right.

    We build the rest from the scope your Starter already wrote down. Your repo, your code, from the first commit.

  • Embedded Team

    For you if: you need people, not a project.

    A senior engineer on your team, with a quarter, half, or all of their focus yours. Every change they make is reviewed by the team behind them before it reaches you.
