Net delivery capacity is 30 engineer-hours a month. A second build in flight would be a second promise we could not keep, so we queue it and give you a written start date.
Fixed scope. Capped hours. Nothing starts without paper.
Four steps, and you can stop after any of them. A free call. Scope agreed in writing and priced against that scope before anything begins. Then the build, milestone-billed as verified work lands. Then handover, or a retainer if you want one. We do not bill hourly, and we do not publish a rate card — the scope sets the price, so the number that matters is the one in your signed statement of work.
Process
From first call to a ceiling you can run yourself.
DAY 0
Qualifying call
Free, 45 minutes, with Anupam. You describe what can sign, transfer or change a risk parameter. We say whether a bounded loss number is buildable in your codebase, or that it is not and this is the wrong firm.
WEEK 0
NDA, then read-only access
NDA before anything is cloned. Read-only repository access, revocable by you. The Inventory is scoped and priced in writing before it starts.
WEEKS 1 TO 3
Loss Path Inventory
We work out what actually needs building, what it will take, and what it is worth doing. Output: a written scope with a fixed price against it. You own that document. Take it elsewhere if you want.
WEEKS 4 TO 17
Bounded Build
Fixed price against the agreed scope, with a cap on effort written into it. Reviewed before anything reaches your branch, and milestone-billed as verified work lands — never all up front. Anything past the cap is a written change order, priced before it starts.
AT HANDOVER
The replay, then a decision
A runbook, a tested rollback path, and IP assigned outright. Then either a retainer keeps things maintained as the code changes, or you take the handover and we stop. Both are fine, and we will not pretend the second one is a failure.
The ladder
Every number, before you commit.
All prices fixed and agreed in writing before work starts. Nothing is billed hourly. The caps are contractual, not aspirational: they are what two people can actually deliver, and they are written into the statement of work.
What we refuse
The limits are published, not discovered later.
No out-of-hours cover, no on-call rota, no incident SLA, no uptime commitment. Two people cannot staff one, so we do not sell one.
You are not renting seats. We take a bounded piece of work, cap it, and finish it. If what you need is headcount, hire headcount.
We do not issue an audit, an attestation or a certificate, and we hold none. We write the ceiling into your code and hand you a replay that proves it holds.
PAYMENT TERMS
Fixed scope agreed in writing. A cleared deposit before work starts, never a promise of one. The balance is milestone-billed as verified work lands, never all up front, on Net-15. Scope changes go through a written change order, priced and signed before anything moves. Retainers end on 30 days' written notice from either side. No surprises in either direction.
