Work is priced against a written scope and finished, whether it arrives as a project or as engineering capacity inside your team. The total is fixed before it starts.
A fixed price, then software you own.
Four steps: a call, a scope with a fixed price, the build, billed at milestones as it lands, then a handover you can run without us, or a retainer if you want one.
The scope sets the price, and the number that matters is the one in your signed statement of work.
Process
From first call to software you can run without us.
- DAY 0
The call
Thirty minutes on the problem: what is breaking, what it costs you, and whether software is the right fix.
- WEEK 0
Access
An NDA before anything is cloned, then read-only access to the repository, revocable by you at any time.
- WEEKS 1 TO 3
Scope and price
We work out what needs building, what it will take and what it is worth. The output is a written scope with a fixed price against it, and the document is yours.
- WEEKS 4 TO 17
Build
Built against the agreed scope at a fixed price, and billed at milestones as working software lands in your repository. Anything outside the scope is priced before it starts.
- AT HANDOVER
Handover, then a decision
A runbook, a tested rollback path and the IP, assigned outright. Then a retainer keeps it maintained as the code changes, or you run it yourself.
The ladder
What each stage costs, and how it is billed.
