A handful of clear ways to bring us in — fixed-scope where the work is known, rate-based where it isn't. We discount scope, never rate: a smaller engagement is always on the table; a cut-rate one isn't.
Most teams start with a review or an MVP and grow from there.
A structured read of your system or a consequential decision — design, data model, AI approach, cloud posture — with a written set of findings and recommendations.
A focused first version of a product or feature, built to ship and documented for handoff. Taken on a few at a time — scoped to a clear outcome, not an open-ended retainer.
Senior technical leadership without a full-time hire — architecture direction, hard calls, and AI strategy. Acting CTO for founders with no technical bench, part-time seniority for teams that have one, and US-based leadership for offshore development.
For work that's better priced by time than by deliverable — scoped per engagement after we talk. We discount scope, never rate.
The sharpest fit: mid-market B2B SaaS companies adding their first serious AI features, where the buyer is a CTO or VP of Engineering who's pragmatic, budget-ready, and moves in days, not quarters. And increasingly: founders and owners with no technical leadership at all, who need someone senior to own the big decisions. Either way, the same person shows up — thirty years of shipped software, current on today's AI landscape.
Tell us what you're building and what's in the way. We'll tell you, honestly, whether we're the right team for it.
A clear deliverable, a price, and a timeline. Fixed where we can be; rate-based where the work genuinely is.
AI-assisted delivery with a senior engineer accountable, shipped incrementally and documented so your team can own it.
One email starts it. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so — and often point you somewhere better.
