Engagement models

Four shapes. Pick the one that fits the work.

[ 04 / 04 ]
01 · fixed-scope
Fixed-scope project

Clear specs, fixed price. Best when you know what you want and want a guaranteed quote.

02 · dedicated-team
Dedicated team

Evolving scope, monthly rate. Best when scope will change as you learn.

typical: open-ended
03 · staff-aug
Staff augmentation

Senior hands into your team. Best when you have a tech lead and need experienced engineers.

open-ended
04 · discovery
Discovery & advisory

Pre-build clarity, architecture review, second opinion. Best before committing to build.

typical: 2–3 weeks

Quality

What good looks like, to us.

Senior engineers on every project. Continuous deployment where appropriate. Test coverage non-negotiable. Honest about scope. Honest about delays.

Where we say no

The work we don't take on.

Pure design (we partner with design teams). Anything our team wouldn't be proud of. Outcomes we can't deliver.
