I — Service lines

Four ways
we engage.

We design each engagement around your situation, not ours. Below are the four shapes our work most often takes — pick the closest, or tell us where we'd fit.

01.1

Net-new builds

You have a product, a tool, or a feature in mind — you just need engineers who can build it. We design and ship it end-to-end, whether that's a customer-facing app, an internal tool, an automation, or something nobody's built yet.

What we build Apps · tools · automations
Timeline 6–12 weeks typical
You receive Live deployment · SLA · docs
Team size Two to six engineers
01.2

AI, applied

Most “AI consulting” right now is jargon and demos. We help you find the places where AI actually moves the needle for your business, and build the systems that put it to work — without the buzzwords or a six-figure infrastructure bill you didn't ask for.

Starting point Workshop or audit
What we build Custom AI tooling
Cost Predictable, no surprise bills
You receive Hosted system · SLA · docs
01.3

Outside perspective

Sometimes the answer isn't more experience in your industry — it's someone who hasn't been in it long enough to assume the usual constraints are the real ones. Our engineers come from outside the box, and tend to see problems sideways.

Format Advisory · workshop · sprint
Best for Hard decisions · stuck problems
Engagement Days or weeks
Output Direction + written read
01.4

Audit & repair

The system you've already got is slow, expensive, or starting to creak. We take a careful look, write up what's wrong in plain English, and — if you want — stay on to do the fixing.

Scope Code · systems · architecture
Output Plain-English report + plan
Follow-on Fixes optional, your call
Timeline Two to four weeks
II — How a project runs

A project, in five moves.

Our builds ship as licensed deployments backed by an SLA — we keep the code, so improvements flow across the platform. New features for you are a new conversation.

01
Brief
A 60-minute call. We listen. You leave with a written read of the problem.
02
Scope
Two weeks. We map the work, agree on outcomes, and write the SOW. Walkable from either side.
03
Build
The team ships against the SOW. Weekly written notes keep you in the loop — no decks, no theatre.
04
Hand-off
You get a live deployment, the docs to use it, and an SLA the moment it goes live.
05
After
Your SLA keeps us on call when things break. Upgrades we ship across the platform reach you free; new features are a new conversation.

IV — Open a brief

trying to do.

A short note is enough — the more you can tell us, the faster we can say whether we're the right team for it.
