— ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Four ways to work
with us.

Every roadmap is different. We offer four engagement models that scale from 2-day POCs to long-term dedicated teams. Pick the one that fits your constraints — budget, timeline, scope certainty — and we'll fit into your process.

— ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Rapid POC

2–7 days$10K–$50K

You have an idea. We build a working prototype in 2–7 days — real functionality, live endpoints, actual user flows. No mockups. No fake screens. By day 5 you know if the idea works or not. 100+ POCs delivered; 50% converted to full builds.

Scope document (shared same day)

STEP

Build & test (daily standup)

STEP

Live prototype (day 5-7)

Decision: ship or iterate

— ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Fixed Scope

3–6 months$50K–$500K+

You know what you want to build. Requirements are locked. We give you a finite timeline, a fixed price, and a commit. Perfect for well-scoped builds, migrations, or rebuilds where scope won't shift during delivery.

— ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Dedicated Team

6+ months$8K–$15K/mo per engineer

Inject a team into your codebase. Same sprint rhythm, same standups, same OKRs. You control backlog and priorities. We handle hiring, scaling, and quality. Scale from 1 engineer to 30. You pay for utilization; we handle the rest.

— ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Staff Augmentation

Variable$10K–$20K/mo per engineer

You have a team. You need senior muscle on a specific initiative. We inject experienced engineers into your team — same code, same process, same reporting. Ideal for scaling fast or filling expertise gaps without the overhead of permanent hires.

— HOW TO CHOOSE

Pick the model that
matches your constraint.

The decision tree is simple: How certain is your scope? How much time do you have? How long do you need the team?

ScenarioBest ModelWhy
Idea validation or MVP testRapid POCFast learning. Go/no-go decision by day 7.

— OUR PROCESS

Same playbook
across all models.

Regardless of model, every engagement follows our methodology. Explore our full approach at the discovery process.

Discovery

We learn your domain, constraints, and success metrics. Weeks 1–2.

Design & Architecture

Shared technical vision. AI stack, integrations, compliance. Weeks 2–3.

Build & Test

Weekly demos. Daily standup. Transparent progress. Weeks 4–N.

Deploy & Support

Production deployment, monitoring, 30 days post-launch support.

— ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONS

Choosing the right
model.

QWhat if we start with a POC and want to expand?
POCs are designed as gates. 50% convert to full builds — and there's no penalty. We simply move the team from rapid-build mode to a longer engagement. Scope expansion happens within discovery of the next phase.
QCan we switch models mid-engagement?
Yes. If fixed-scope requirements start evolving, we pivot to dedicated team mode (no penalty). If your dedicated team needs specific expertise for 3 months, we augment with a specialist. Flexibility is built in.
QWhat's the minimum engagement size?
Smallest is a POC at $10K. Dedicated team minimum is typically 2–3 people for 6 months (that's $96K–$144K). Staff augmentation can be 1 person for 1 month. We scope to fit your budget and timeline.
QDo you handle hiring or just the team management?
We handle everything: sourcing, interviewing, reference checking, skill validation, onboarding, and performance tracking. You define the role; we deliver the team. Backfills within 2 weeks if someone leaves.
QWhat about training and ramp-up for a dedicated team?
First 2 weeks are structured onboarding: codebase walk-through, architecture discussion, culture immersion, pair programming. By week 3, they're shipping. By week 6, they're fully autonomous.
QCan we meet the team or interview candidates?
Absolutely. For dedicated teams, you have final say on hires. For POC and fixed-scope work, we assign a tech lead you'll meet. Transparency and fit are non-negotiable.
