A plan, not a brochure.
Tell us about the initiative you cannot start, or the delivery workflow slowing your team down. We reply within two business days with concrete next steps, not a brochure.
With a free scoping call. You describe the problem, we ask the awkward questions early, and you get a written summary of what we heard and what it would take to prove it, whether you hire us or not. For a prototype we agree the scope on that call and start building; you see it working before there is an invoice.
A working proof of concept takes one week. Putting it under real load and cost review to reach a go or no-go call takes about 30 days in total. Platform engagements are quoted against an agreed scope after the free audit, and reviewed monthly if the work continues. We put dates against every phase up front, then report against them.
We work remote by default and distribute work across time zones deliberately, with overlap hours agreed at kickoff. When a project genuinely benefits from being in a room, workshops and delivery milestones for example, we travel for it.
Yes. We are happy to sign your NDA before the first detailed conversation, or provide our mutual template if that is faster. Confidentiality terms are also built into every service agreement.
For prototypes, you pay after it works. We agree the scope on the scoping call, build the prototype and run it on our infrastructure at no charge; payment is what transfers the source repository and the implementation spec to you. Cloud spend above $100 on a proof is yours. Platform work starts with a free audit of your delivery workflow, and the remediation is quoted against an agreed scope before it begins.
Happily. A prototype usually has to talk to something you already run. We start by reading that system and its constraints, write down what we find, and agree exactly what the prototype will touch before it touches anything.
