Whether it is a four-week discovery or a multi-year platform build, it starts the same way, you tell us the problem, and we tell you honestly what it takes.

Before You Write
These come up in almost every first conversation, so here they are up front.
Anything from a four-week design sprint to a multi-year platform build. The common thread is a clear owner on your side and a decision we can help you make.
Discovery usually begins within two weeks of signature. Squad-based work depends on availability, and we'll tell you honestly if the start date is a month out.
Fixed price when the scope is genuinely fixed, and a monthly squad rate when it isn't. We won't quote a fixed price on a scope we know will move.
You do, from the first commit. Code, source files and documentation transfer to you as the work is delivered.
Every project ends with a handover period. After that you can take it in-house, keep a support retainer, or bring us back for the next phase.
Routinely. We work under client MSAs, security reviews and data-residency requirements, including regulated environments.
