We field our strongest engineers — no bench, no bait-and-switch.

FAQ

Fair questions. Straight answers.

Yes. Our team works a full US Eastern Time day — 9am to 5pm EST. They join your standups, respond in your Slack in real time, and ship while your team is online. No overnight handoffs, no 12-hour feedback loops.

Scoping takes days, not weeks. Once we agree on the work, the engineers you interviewed — the same ones, no bait-and-switch — are typically embedded in your team and shipping within the first week.

Every line of code is reviewed before it reaches you, you get a working demo every week, and we field our strongest forward-deployed engineers rather than staffing a bench.

Yes, and we say so upfront: every seat runs a paid Claude subscription. AI-augmented development is how a small senior team ships at startup pace. Client-specific AI restrictions can be agreed per SOW.

Full-stack web development, AI and automation engineering (LLM integrations, agents, copilots), CRM/telephony/payments integrations, and creative post-production including After Effects motion graphics.

You do. Unless a Statement of Work says otherwise, all work product we create for a client is assigned to that client once the invoices for it are paid in full.

Every engagement runs under a Master Service Agreement (MSA) and a Statement of Work (SOW) signed by both sides. Nothing starts until the SOW is signed.

Every engagement is priced for the team and scope it needs. Tell us what you're building and we'll give you a straight number for your exact team, agreed in a signed Statement of Work before any work starts.
