How a project moves
What working with us
actually looks like.
No twelve-week discovery phase, no slide decks, no agency theater. Here's what a Sprint, Build, or Partnership engagement looks like over time — and what stays the same across all three.
Discovery Sprint
2 weeks · from $5K
Two weeks. One question. One answer.
Kickoff call
We confirm the single question we're answering, agree what 'done' looks like, and sign the SOW. You get a shared Slack channel and an outline of the two weeks.
Audit and explore
We dig into your stack, talk to your stakeholders, and gather everything we need to answer the question well. You hear from us every day or two.
Mid-Sprint review
A 30-minute call to check we're heading the right direction. If we're not, we course-correct now while there's still time.
Build the answer
Roadmap, architecture doc, working prototype — whatever shape the answer needs to take. We write it as if you'll be referring back to it in six months.
Handover
We deliver the recommendation in writing, walk you through it on a call, and tell you honestly whether a Build engagement makes sense next — or whether it doesn't.
Build Engagement
4 to 12 weeks · from $25K
Most clients ship their MVP in 6 to 10 weeks.
Listen and map
Stakeholder interviews, stack audit, and a written scope-and-architecture doc. You'll know exactly what we're building before code is written.
Design and prototype
Wireframes, high-fidelity screens for the parts users will touch, and a clickable prototype of anything ambiguous. Decisions made here save weeks later.
Build in sprints
One- or two-week sprints. Weekly demo every Friday on the same shared call. Direct Slack, async-first, no surprises. You see real progress in your repo every week.
Ship to production
Deploy with monitoring, alerting, and rollback plans. We don't push to prod on a Friday afternoon. We make sure the first week of users is calm.
Stabilize and hand off
Bug fixes, performance tuning, and a clean handover to your team. After thirty days you own everything fully — no lock-in, no subscription dependency.
Embedded Partnership
Ongoing · from $15K/month
We become part of your team.
Onboard
We embed into your existing stack, planning rituals, and goals. By the end of week one we're shipping alongside your team like we'd been there months.
Sprint rhythm
Sprint planning at the start of every cycle, mid-cycle code review, demo at the end. Whatever rhythm you already run on — we adapt rather than impose.
Step back
We pause and look at what we've shipped, what worked, what to drop, what to double down on. Strategy review, not status report.
Scale or pause
Pause for a quarter to redirect cash. Scale up the team for a launch. Convert to a Build for a focused project. The model bends to your business.
What stays the same
The rhythm of working together
Whatever the engagement type, the cadence is the same. Predictable, transparent, and built around your team — not ours.
Weekly demo, same day every week
30 minutes on a fixed slot. Shows what changed, what's next, what we're stuck on. You can skip a week — we still send the notes.
One shared Slack channel
Direct line to the engineer doing the work. No account-manager layer, no 'I'll check with the team and circle back.'
Your repo, your dashboards
We work in your GitHub, your Linear, your Vercel project. You see the same commits and deploys we do — in real time, not in a Friday recap.
Honest at the next milestone
If something's slipping, you hear about it at the next demo, not at the end. If we think a feature shouldn't ship, we say so.
Reference framework
Six stages, scoped to fit
Every project moves through some version of these. A Sprint covers the first two. A Build runs all six. A Partnership cycles through them as the product evolves.
01
Listen
Stakeholder calls, a careful read of your current stack (if any), and a market check. We arrive without assumptions and leave with the real problem in writing.
02
Map
Product roadmap, technical architecture, and success metrics on one page. You'll know exactly what we're building, why, and how we'll know it worked.
03
Design
Wireframes through high-fidelity. Every screen prototyped and reviewed before code is written. We sweat the details users will actually feel.
04
Build
Senior engineering in one- or two-week sprints. Weekly demos, shared Slack, code review on every change. You see progress, not slide decks.
05
Ship
Production deploy with monitoring, alerting, and rollback plans. We don't just push to prod — we make sure the first week is calm.
06
Iterate
Real-user data shapes what changes next. Analytics, feedback loops, and a written list of the next round of priorities.
