Pick the shape that fits today — and change it as you grow. Every engagement begins with the same two-week, fixed-fee discovery.
We map your systems, risks and priorities, and hand back a costed roadmap you keep either way.
Best for: A defined outcome — a new app, a platform rebuild, a migration.
After discovery, each phase is quoted at a fixed price with written acceptance criteria. You see working software every two weeks.
Billing: Fixed fee per phase, invoiced at agreed milestones.
Best for: An ongoing roadmap that needs more capacity than you can hire.
A named team of 2–8 engineers works to your backlog, in your tools, with a daily overlap on US Eastern mornings.
Billing: Monthly, based on team size and seniority. Adjust the team month to month.
Best for: Platforms, devices and people that need to keep running.
Monitoring, patching, support and security alert triage under written response targets, with a named engineer.
Billing: Fixed monthly retainer, sized to scope and response times. Reviewed every quarter.
Best for: Companies without a senior technology leader — or needing a second opinion.
A principal joins your leadership rhythm: roadmap, architecture, vendor choices and hiring, with independent advice.
Billing: Monthly retainer for a set number of days, or a fixed-fee technology audit.
Two questions. It's a starting point — we'll confirm it together in discovery.
An honest look at the alternatives. Each has its place — this is where we fit.

The practical questions finance teams ask before signing.
Every engagement is priced after discovery, once the scope is clear — so the number you get is one we can stand behind. Discovery itself is a fixed fee agreed before we start, billed in USD.
Yes. Many clients start with a fixed-scope project and move to a dedicated team or managed services after launch, with the same people.
Projects are committed one phase at a time. Team and retainer terms are agreed during discovery, and we don't lock clients into long contracts.
We re-plan openly. Changes to a fixed-scope phase are estimated before any work starts, and you decide whether to swap, add or defer.
A two-week, fixed-fee discovery. You get a written findings document and a costed roadmap — and you keep it whether or not you work with us.
