Delivery capacity that does not need onboarding every quarter.
Design, build, release and the maintenance that follows, running continuously against your roadmap with one person accountable for what ships.
This is for you if
- You have more roadmap than engineers, and hiring will not close the gap this year.
- Something you shipped needs to keep working, and nobody owns it.
- You want senior judgement in the room, not just extra hands.
- Your team is strong but missing a discipline: mobile, front end, or design.
And it is not, if
This is not body-shop staffing. We do not place a developer into your standups and invoice for the seat. If that is what you need, an agency built for it will do it cheaper than we will.
What you actually receive
A named, accountable lead
One person who knows your product, stays across releases, and tells you when something is going wrong before you notice.
Releases on a rhythm
Work lands continuously rather than in a quarterly lump you have to bet on.
Maintenance that is planned, not reactive
Dependency updates, platform changes and the unglamorous work that stops the next rewrite being necessary.
An exit that is not a hostage situation
Everything documented and handed over on request. You should be able to leave.
How the engagement runs
A rolling engagement with a defined scope per cycle, reviewed openly at the end of each one. You can change the shape, scale it down, or stop. We would rather be renewed than locked in.
What does a project cost?
We do not publish a number, because a quote written before anyone has looked at your problem is a guess dressed up as a price. We scope first, as a small paid piece of work, and that produces a fixed shape and a real figure. If the scope shows the project is not worth doing, you have spent a fraction of a build to find that out.
How long will it take?
Ask us after the scope, not before. Anyone quoting a duration off a first call is quoting a hope. What we can tell you up front is the shape: releases land continuously against a preview environment you can open, so you are never waiting months to see whether it is going the right way.
Do you work fixed price or time and materials?
Both, depending on what the work actually is. A defined release with an agreed scope can be fixed. Ongoing engineering against a moving roadmap cannot honestly be, and anyone who fixes it is pricing in the risk and charging you for it. We will tell you which one your project is.
We are early and pre-funding. Are we too small?
Possibly, and we will say so. If you are still testing whether anyone wants this, a full build is an expensive way to find out. Tell us where you are and we will tell you what would answer the question faster, even when the answer is not us.
Can you work with our existing team and codebase?
Yes, and most of our work is exactly that. We have joined codebases whose original authors had left and worked alongside in-house teams who needed a discipline they did not have, usually mobile or front end. We read before we rewrite.
