How it runs
Four steps. One person you can call.
No account-manager relay. The lead on your project is someone who builds, and they stay on it from the first call to the last deploy.
Scope
A week of hard questions. We map what you actually need and say plainly which parts we'd cut.
We start by trying to make the project smaller. Most briefs carry two or three features that exist because someone felt they ought to, and cutting them early is the cheapest work we will ever do for you. What's left gets mapped properly: the constraint that actually binds, the deadline that actually matters, the one outcome the project fails without.
You get: A written scope, a plain list of what we'd cut, and a fixed shape for the first ship.
Prototype
Something real in front of you early, not a document about it. Opinions get cheaper.
Opinions about a document are expensive, because everyone is imagining a different thing. Opinions about a working prototype are cheap and specific. Depending on the discipline that's a clickable interface, a running service with real data, or a printed part you can hold — but it exists early, and it is allowed to be wrong.
You get: A working artefact you can use, break, and react to — not a slide deck.
Build
Two-week cycles, a demo at the end of each. You see progress, not status reports.
Two-week cycles, each ending in a demo of something that runs. No status meeting substitutes for watching the thing work. If a cycle goes sideways you find out at the end of that cycle, when there is still budget and calendar left to do something about it.
You get: A demo every two weeks, and a build you can look at whenever you want.
Hand over
Documentation, a walkthrough, and the keys. Support if you want it — never as a hostage.
Handover is a real phase with real hours attached, not an afterthought on the last day. Documentation written for the person who inherits this, a recorded walkthrough, and every credential transferred to you. If you want us on retainer afterwards that's a decision you make freely — never one the architecture makes for you.
You get: Docs, a recorded walkthrough, every key and credential in your name.
One more thing
Support is a choice, not a lock-in.
Handover is a real phase with hours attached, not an afterthought on the last day. You leave with documentation, a recorded walkthrough, and every credential in your name.
If you want us on retainer afterwards, that should be because the work was good — never because the architecture made leaving expensive.
