How we work

Four steps. Days, not months. No mystery.

We're a build studio, not a consultancy. The audit is free, the proposal is fixed-price, the build is daily-visible, and you own the code at the end. Here is exactly how we run each engagement.

  1. 01

    Free strategy audit 30 minutes · No commitment

    A 30-minute call where we map your exact bottlenecks and opportunities. You leave with a written punch-list whether you hire us or not.

    You bring

    • Your current stack and tooling list
    • The top 3 frustrations you have today
    • A rough sense of budget and timeline

    We bring

    • An auditor (founder + senior engineer)
    • Live screen-share architecture review
    • A written follow-up with prioritized actions

    Outcome

    • You know what's worth building first
    • You know what you can do in-house
    • You know roughly what each thing costs
  2. 02

    Scoped proposal Within 24 hours · Fixed price

    We send a fixed-price scope inside one business day. Every line item priced. No "TBD." No surprise invoices in week three.

    • Shared Slack channel from kickoff
