No open-ended engagements. No surprise scope.
Every project — audit, sprint, or retainer — moves through the same four stages, so you always know what happens next.
Discovery call
A short conversation about your product, where it's slowing down, and what success looks like. No deck, no pressure — just enough context to know if we're a fit.
Technical audit & proposal
We look at the actual codebase and architecture where relevant, then come back with a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal — not an open-ended hourly estimate.
Build & iterate
Work ships in short cycles with regular demos and async updates, so you're never waiting weeks to see progress or redirect it.
Ship & support
We deploy, hand over clean documentation, and stay engaged for support — many engagements move into an ongoing monthly retainer from here.
What we actually ask on that first call
No sales script — just enough structure to figure out, honestly, whether we can help.
What's happening?
Tell us about the product — what it does, who it's for, and how it's built today.
What's the problem?
What's actually slowing the team down — performance, architecture, missing capacity, or something else?
What's the impact?
What happens to the business if this stays unsolved for another quarter?
What's the timeline?
When does this need to be resolved, and what's driving that date?
What's the budget?
Has budget already been allocated, or is this still being scoped internally?
Who else decides?
Beyond you, who else needs to sign off before moving forward?
Have a SaaS product that needs to move faster?
Tell us where it's stuck. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help — on a short call, no deck required.
