How do engagements usually start?

With a conversation, then a paid discovery engagement. Discovery is time-boxed - typically two to four weeks - and ends in a written recommendation, architecture outline, and delivery plan you own outright. You can take that plan to any vendor, including none at all.

What does a project cost?

It depends entirely on scope, and any number quoted before discovery would be invented. What we can tell you up front is the cost of discovery itself, and discovery produces an estimate grounded in actual requirements rather than a guess from a brief.

How long does a project take?

A focused first release is commonly eight to sixteen weeks from the end of discovery, depending on integration complexity and how many decisions sit with other parties. We sequence work so something usable reaches real users early rather than everything arriving at the end.

Do you work with existing in-house teams?

Frequently, and it is often the best arrangement. We can lead delivery, work as an embedded part of your team, or take a specific workstream such as design, infrastructure, or an AI capability. We also hand designs to in-house engineers and stay available during the build.

Ten service areas, one accountable team. Most clients start with one and expand - which only works if the first engagement was built to be extended.

01

AI & Intelligent Automation

Production AI systems - agents, retrieval, and automated workflows - built with the evaluation and monitoring that keep them trustworthy after launch.

02

Custom Software Development

SaaS products, internal platforms, and MVPs engineered to be extended - with the architecture decisions written down and the tests that let you change things safely.

Our work

Concept builds that show how we think

We are a young studio, so rather than borrow credibility we built these ourselves. Each one is a working demonstration of a problem we solve and the decisions we would make.

How we work

Four stages, each ending in something you can hold

No stage finishes with a status update. Discovery ends in a written plan, build ends in working software, and launch ends with your team able to operate it.

01DiscoverUnderstand the business before proposing the software.1 - 2 weeks
02StrategizeDecide the shape of the solution, and write down why.1 - 3 weeks
03BuildShip something usable early, then improve it in the open.Ongoing increments
04Launch & EvolveHand over something your team can genuinely own.Launch plus agreed support
