Small engagements,
clear deliverables.
No standing retainers, no padding. We work in 4–8 week scoped engagements with explicit deliverables on day one.
Eight weeks. From kickoff to runbook.
Discovery
We map your stack, talk to your team, and produce a concrete scope with deliverables, milestones, and pricing — fixed, not hourly.
Build
Focused work in dedicated cycles. Weekly demos in your timezone. Direct Slack channel. Zero status meetings — progress is visible in the work.
Handoff
Documentation your team can actually use, runbooks, and a 30-day support window. Optional ongoing advisory if you want it. No lock-in.
Things we believe.
Things we won't bend on.
Fixed scope, fixed price
Hourly billing rewards padding. We scope tightly, agree a number, and ship the thing. If we underestimate, that's our problem, not yours.
No status meetings
Async by default. Weekly demo + written update. If you want a sync call, you can have one — but you don't have to sit through one to know we're working.
Direct contact
You work with the person reading your code. No account managers, no project coordinators, no proxies. Slack me; I respond.
Three engagements at a time
We say no to most projects. Saying yes to too many means saying yes badly to all of them. If we're a fit, we're committing.
Real handoff
The work has to outlive the engagement. That means real docs, real runbooks, and tests your team will keep running. Not a knowledge silo with a price tag.
Boring beats clever
When in doubt, the well-trodden choice. We use boring tools because they're maintainable, hireable-for, and won't trap you.
Different model. On purpose.
