How we work

We don't start with code.
We start with clarity.

Every engagement follows the same arc: understand the problem, write down the plan, ship working software every two weeks, and stay close through launch and beyond.

How you buy

Pick the shape that fits how you want to buy.

Time & Material with Cap

For flexibility with a spend ceiling.

Hourly billing with a not-to-exceed cap. You get the adaptability of T&M while keeping fixed-price-style predictability on maximum exposure.

Outcome-Based

For milestone or KPI-tied delivery.

Billing is tied to agreed outcomes. You pay as milestones land, making delivery accountability explicit from day one.

GCC (Global Capability Center)

For a persistent, integrated offshore unit.

We operate as your captive offshore team: dedicated, long-term, and integrated into your org structure, tooling, and delivery cadence.

Our delivery process

Every phase produces something you can review — not just a PDF.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Requirements deep-dive, system design, ERDs, API specs. You walk out with a plan you can build — with us or with anyone else.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    Tech stack selection, infrastructure setup, CI/CD pipeline, deployed skeleton on day one of sprints.

  3. 03

    Sprint delivery

    Two-week sprints with working demos every Friday. A running staging environment you can log into at any time.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Staging → UAT → production deployment, monitoring setup, and a stabilisation window once you go live.

  5. 05

    Support

    Bug fixes, feature iterations, SLA-based maintenance. Either party can end the engagement with 30 days' notice.

How we ship

We run Agile software development methodology — two-week sprints, standups, demos, retrospectives. We work in your project management stack — Monday.com, Rally, Jira, Linear, ClickUp — or set up ours for you. Your Slack, your Git, your CI. We integrate; you don't restructure around us.

Communication

If you're asking for a status update, we've already failed.

  • Daily async updates via Slack or Microsoft Teams
  • Weekly video demos of working software, time-zone-flexible
  • Project tracking on Linear or Jira — full sprint visibility
  • Code on GitHub with PR reviews, CI/CD, and branch protection
  • Design in Figma with shared workspaces
  • 4+ hour overlap with US Pacific, EU Central, Japan Standard

Every week you get

A running staging environment you can log into and click around.

A Friday demo video and sprint summary.

An updated burn-down and backlog.

A short note on risks, blockers, and decisions pending your input.

First four weeks

What the start of a build actually looks like.

Week 0

Discovery call, mutual fit assessment

Scope doc and proposal within 3 business days

Week 1

Kickoff, requirements workshops, system design

ERDs, API specs, sprint plan

Week 2

Infrastructure setup, CI/CD, first schema

Staging environment online, first code in main

Week 3

First feature pass

Friday demo of working software

Week 4

Iteration, second feature pass

Updated demo, first user-testable flow

Where we draw the line

Every line of code you don't ship is a line you don't have to maintain.

Features that can't ship this quarter.

If an idea needs six months of groundwork, we'll phase it rather than pretend it's cheaper than it is.

Premature optimisation.

No microservices until a monolith is hurting. No event-sourcing until transactions demand it. No serverless until the workload warrants it.

Over-design.

Standard UI patterns beat bespoke ones for MVPs. Battle-tested libraries beat custom abstractions.

Single-voice features.

If only one stakeholder has asked for it, we'll push back until there's a second voice in the room.

After launch

The last sprint isn't the end of the relationship.

A stabilisation window after go-live, SLA-based maintenance, ongoing feature work, and full IP transfer to you. Either party can end the engagement with 30 days' notice.
