What it's actually like to work with us
No black box, no surprise invoices, no vanishing at handoff. Here's the whole engagement - from the first call to owned, shipped code - so you know exactly what to expect.
From first call to shipped product
Discovery
A few daysA short call to understand the product, the outcome v1 must prove, constraints, and timeline. You talk to a senior engineer, not a salesperson.
Fixed scope & quote
Within 24-48hWe write a defined scope - what ships, what waits, ranked risks - and a fixed quote. You approve the number before any code is written.
Sprint build
2-6 weeks typicalSenior engineers build in focused sprints, AI-accelerated and human-reviewed. You get a real environment and visible, shipped increments - no black box.
Launch & handoff
Launch weekWe ship production-ready, hand over fully owned code with an architecture doc and runbook, and start the 30-day post-launch fix window.
Iterate or hand off
Your callContinue with a growth engagement for weekly shipping, or take it fully in-house - you own everything, so there's no lock-in either way.
Typical timelines by engagement
| Engagement | Timeline | First real deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Lean MVP / focused app | 2-3 weeks | Scope + build plan in week one |
| Full MVP / web app | 3-6 weeks | Working core flow by sprint one |
| SaaS build / MVP→SaaS | 3-10 weeks | Architecture brief before build |
| Single automation | ~10 business days | Workflow scope in 24h |
Scope dependent. Confirmed on your scoping call. See pricing for the numbers.
What we need from you
A little goes a long way. The build moves at the speed of decisions.
A clear goal
What v1 must prove, and what 'done' looks like. We'll help sharpen it on the discovery call.
Timely decisions
Fast async feedback keeps sprints moving. Gaps in decisions are the main thing that slows a build.
Access, when relevant
Any existing repo, designs, accounts, or integrations we need - shared securely, only what's required.
One point of contact
A single decision-maker on your side keeps scope coherent and avoids conflicting direction.
Questions about working together
How is this different from your 'how we build' page?
This page covers the engagement - what it's like to work with us, from first call to handoff. /how-we-build/ covers the technical how: how we use AI with senior review to keep quality high. Different questions, both worth answering before you commit.
How quickly can we start?
Usually within a week of the discovery call. You get a fixed scope and quote within 24-48 hours of that call, and once approved we can kick off the first sprint promptly.
How do you handle changes mid-build?
Scope is fixed, but products change as you learn. New work becomes a change order with its own estimate you approve - so we keep shipping without silent scope creep or surprise invoices.
How much visibility do we get during the build?
A real environment, regular shipped increments, and direct access to the engineers building it. You see progress continuously rather than a big reveal at the deadline.
What happens after launch?
You get 30 days of included post-launch fixes. Beyond that, you can continue with a growth engagement for ongoing shipping, or take everything in-house - you own all the code and docs.
