How we work with you
A partner, not a body shop.
We don't rent out headcount. We join your team for a defined outcome, do the hard parts alongside your people, and make sure they own it when we leave.
Embedded, not outsourced
We work in your repo, your chat and your rituals. Your team sees every decision and why it was made.
Scoped around an outcome
Every engagement is scoped around an outcome. We agree scope, timeline and cost before any work starts.
Honest about what's worth building
We'll push back when something isn't worth the money, including AI for its own sake.
Built to hand over
Documentation, pairing and a clean handover are part of the work. The goal is your team's independence.
Process
From first call to handover
Five steps. Most first engagements run four to twelve weeks.
Intro call
30 minutes
You describe the problem. We tell you honestly whether we're the right fit, and who else might be if not.
Discovery
1–2 weeks
We meet the people involved, read the code and data, and agree the outcome and owner. You get a written plan with scope, timeline and cost.
Build together
2–8 weeks
Short cycles with working software every week. Your engineers pair with ours from day one.
Launch & measure
1–2 weeks
We ship to real users and check the result against the metric we agreed on.
Hand over
Final week
Docs, runbooks and knowledge transfer so your team runs it without us. We stay reachable if you need us.
Selected work
Results, not slideware
Representative engagements. Client names are withheld; details are available under NDA.

Testimonials
In their words
They worked like part of our team from the first week. When they left, we understood every piece of what they built.
They told us which ideas weren't worth building. That alone saved us more than the engagement cost.
Our engineers got noticeably better during the project. That was the part I didn't expect.
FAQ
Questions
Are you a staffing agency?
No, and on purpose. We don't place contractors or rent out headcount. We take on a defined outcome and deliver it with your team.
We're new to AI. Where do we start?
With your work, not the technology. We talk to the people doing it, rank the options by value, effort and risk, and start with one that can show results quickly.
How big is the team?
Small and senior on purpose: usually one to three engineers. We bring in trusted specialists from our network when a project needs them.
How do you price?
Every engagement is scoped around an outcome. We agree scope, timeline and cost before any work starts.
Who owns the code?
You do: the code, the docs and the know-how to run it. Everything is built in your repositories and accounts from day one.
How much of our time does it take?
A decision-maker available weekly, plus a few hours a week from the people who will own the result. We agree that time before kickoff, because projects without it stall.
