HOW AN ENGAGEMENT RUNS

Every engagement runs the same shape. No surprises in week three.

A 2-week diagnostic to read the code and the room. A 90-day plan you can defend to investors. Then either you run it, or we embed and ship it. No statement-of-work brinkmanship, no scope creep, no "let's circle back on the proposal" calls.

Same shape across every service · 2-week diagnostic → 90-day plan → optional embedded team

How an engagement runs — diagnostic, plan, ship.
What an engagement looks like

Two weeks to know what you have. Then a team that builds it.

Step 1

2-week diagnostic

A senior engineer and product lead read the code, talk to your team, and write up exactly what we’d do in the first 90 days. You keep the document either way.

Step 2

3–9 month embedded team

A team of 3–5 senior engineers, product, and design slots into your stand-ups, your repo, and your roadmap. We run the build; you run the company.

Step 3

Weekly demos, monthly retros

You see working software every Friday. Every month we sit down and decide what the team works on next — and what we stop doing.

  • Fixed monthly retainer — no surprise invoices, no hourly games.
  • You own the code from day one. Repo, infra, accounts — all in your name.
  • A named tech lead who shows up on every call. Not a rotating bench.
What we don’t do

Saying no to the wrong work is how we stay good at the right work.

  • No hourly staff augmentation.

    We don’t rent out engineers by the hour. Engagements are fixed-scope teams with a named tech lead, billed monthly.

  • No white-label subcontracting for marketing agencies.

    We don’t hide behind another agency’s logo. If our work ships under your brand, our name is on the contract.

  • No pre-seed co-founder-for-equity.

    We build software for funded teams that can pay. We are not your technical co-founder in exchange for a slice of the cap table.

  • No RFPs or public-sector procurement.

    We don’t respond to vendor questionnaires or 90-page RFPs. If your buying process needs that, we are not the right fit.
