How to start
Run the fit check. It is one screen and asks what you are building, what stage you are at, and what your budget is. You get a straight answer the same day.
If the scope is bigger than a sprint, we will tell you what we would cut to make it fit — whether or not you hire us.
Questions
Straight answers.
What does hiring you actually involve?
A short fit check, then a paid blueprint that fixes the scope in writing, then a 10-day build, then handoff. No contracts for ongoing hours, no retainer, no equity.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. You need to know who the product is for and what problem it solves. We make the engineering decisions and explain them in plain language as we go.
Who owns the code and the accounts?
You do, entirely. Everything is deployed into infrastructure registered in your name and the full source code is transferred at handoff, along with documentation another developer can pick up.
What if I need changes after launch?
There is a support window after handoff for fixes. Further changes are quoted as a separate fixed-scope sprint, only if usage says they are worth building.
