No discovery phase that runs for a quarter, no scope that grows quietly, no dependency engineered into the delivery. Here’s exactly what happens, in order.
One to three weeks. We map the problem, choose the architecture, and produce a plan with a real number attached. You keep it whether or not we build the thing. For AI work this is an automation audit; for fintech, an architecture and compliance-readiness review; for existing systems, a takeover assessment.
The main engagement. Defined scope, defined timeline, defined price, agreed before anyone writes code. Weekly demos, a staging environment your team uses from week two or three, and no invoice surprises at the end.
Our engineers working inside your process alongside your people. For teams who need capacity rather than a supplier, or who need domain knowledge they can’t hire quickly.
Support, maintenance and further development on a retainer. Always optional. Never a condition of the build.
We map what’s being built, choose the architecture, agree what’s in and what’s explicitly out, and fix the price. You leave this phase with a scope document and a launch date. If the honest answer is that your project doesn’t fit the timeline, this is where you hear it.
Design and engineering run in parallel. Weekly demos on working software rather than status decks. Your team has access to a staging environment early, because feedback in week three costs nothing and feedback in week nine costs a fortnight.
Security review, user acceptance testing, performance checks, data migration where needed, then a controlled launch — usually a pilot group before everyone.
Source code, infrastructure, documentation and a walkthrough for whoever maintains it. This is the end of the engagement, not the beginning of a subscription.
Timelines vary by category: websites run four weeks, connected products 12–20. Every solution page states its own.
Speed here isn’t a discount on quality. It’s what happens when the repetitive parts are already done.
Compliance workflows, ledgers, eligibility engines, device management, evaluation harnesses — the parts that consume a year when you start from nothing, and the parts that barely differ between clients. We built them once and we maintain them.
Nothing is renegotiated in month three, which is where most agency timelines actually die.
The integration problems that eat a schedule never become another department’s problem.
The version that ships is the one that tests what you actually need to know.
Fast delivery requires fast decisions. We need one person empowered to approve, feedback inside three working days, and content, credentials and system access when we ask for them — with the full list given to you in week one so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Almost every missed deadline in this industry is a decision that waited two weeks. We’ll flag it immediately if that starts happening, in writing, with the effect on the launch date. That isn’t blame-shifting — it’s the mechanism that keeps the date real for both of us.
It varies with scope, integrations and markets rather than with hours worked, and it doesn’t move unless you change the scope — in which case changes go into a follow-on phase rather than quietly into the current one.
Every engagement is scoped individually, because the range across a four-week website and a regulated financial platform is genuinely wide. Scoping ends with one number, not a range.
8–12 weeks from scope to launch for most platforms. Websites are four weeks. Connected products are 12–20, because firmware and certification don’t compress the way software does. You get a firm date at the end of scoping, in week two.
Changes go into a follow-on phase rather than into the current build. That’s what protects the date and the price for both of us.
Yes. Source code, infrastructure and documentation transfer to you on handover, with a walkthrough for whoever maintains it. No licence, no per-seat fee, no lock-in.
No. Support and further development are available on a retainer, and plenty of clients take it — but the handover is built so your own team or a third party can maintain the system without us.
Yes. The dedicated team model puts our engineers inside your process, working to your standards and your board.
We’ll say so, in week one rather than month six. That includes telling you when an off-the-shelf tool solves your problem, or when the thing you’re describing shouldn’t be built yet.
Tell us what you’re building. We’ll tell you whether it fits the timeline, roughly what it costs, and what we’d need from you.
30 minutes. No deck required.
