Choose the right level of engineering ownership.

Three engagement models. Fixed scope, milestone delivery, or ongoing capacity. Senior engineers from week one — no juniors, no billing surprises.

Engagement models

Three ways to engage — pick where you are.

Every engagement starts with a 30-minute technical evaluation by a senior engineer. We will tell you which model fits — or whether we are not the right team at all.

Fixed scope 01 / 03

Product Pilot

From $20K 3 weeks

From idea or stalled PoC to working software in three weeks.

Senior engineers take your problem, lock the scope in week one, build in week two, and deliver working software with an architecture readout in week three. Fixed price, no surprises.

  • Working software you can demo or hand off
  • Architecture and tech-debt readout
  • Clear recommendation: proceed, pivot, or stop
Ongoing 03 / 03

Scale & Evolve

Custom Retainer

Predictable senior capacity for teams past product-market fit.

Named senior engineers integrated with your team. Architecture oversight across your roadmap. Monthly capacity reviews so you scale up or down without a hiring cycle.

  • Named senior engineers — same people every sprint
  • Architecture oversight across your roadmap
  • Monthly reviews — scale up or down anytime
What we build

Common types of work across all three models.

AI integration and production rollout

Inference architecture, eval harnesses, shadow rollouts, monitoring. We move AI from PoC to a system that behaves predictably at scale.

Platform modernization

Strangler fig migrations, monolith decomposition, database re-platforming. We replace the parts that hurt most first — without stopping your business.

Performance and reliability rescue

Systems under load, cascading failures, scaling cliffs. We diagnose the root cause and fix it — not paper over it.

Which model fits?

Not sure where to start? Here is the decision.

If you are unsure, start with a Product Pilot. The architecture readout at the end is the starting document for a Build engagement. There is no lock-in — you own the output.

Start here if you are unsure
Product Pilot

You have an idea or stalled PoC and need to validate the technical approach before committing budget.

When the problem is defined
Build & Modernize

You know what you want to build. The problem is complex, the stakes are high, and you need senior ownership.

When you need ongoing capacity
Scale & Evolve

You have product-market fit, a growing backlog, and a hiring cycle that is too slow for your roadmap.

On AI-assisted development

We use AI coding tools — Copilot, Claude, and others — as part of our engineering workflow. They help us move faster on boilerplate and routine tasks. All architecture decisions, system design, code review, and production deployments are done and owned by senior engineers. We do not ship AI-generated code without human review. We tell you this because you should know it, and because it is consistent with how we think about AI in the systems we build for you.

FAQ

Questions before choosing an engagement model.

Draft answers for internal review. Final public wording should be approved before launch.

Which engagement should we start with?

If the technical path is uncertain, start with Product Pilot. If the problem and scope are already clear, Build & Modernize is usually the right fit. If you need ongoing senior capacity around an existing roadmap, Scale & Evolve is the better model. We will recommend the smallest useful next step on the first call.

Do you work as a staff augmentation vendor?

Not in the generic body-shopping sense. Scale & Evolve gives you named senior engineers and delivery ownership around a defined product or platform roadmap. We care about architecture, handoff, and outcomes, not only filling seats.

Can you take over an existing codebase?

Yes. For existing systems, we usually begin with a focused code, architecture, or delivery assessment so we understand the risks before committing to delivery milestones.

How do you handle AI-assisted development?

We use AI tools for speed, but senior engineers remain accountable for architecture, code review, security, and production behavior. Client data and tool usage rules are agreed before work begins.

What budget range should we expect?

Product Pilot starts from $20K. Build & Modernize starts from $50K and scales with scope. Scale & Evolve is custom, usually based on monthly senior capacity and ownership needs.

Not sure which engagement fits?

Book a 30-minute call. We will ask the right questions and tell you honestly whether we are the right fit — and if so, which model makes sense.
