Frequently Asked Questions

Book a 30-minute call. We'll discuss your problem, assess fit, and if it makes sense, send a scoped proposal within a few days. No lengthy discovery phases.

Most projects ship in 4-8 weeks. A focused MVP or integration can be done in 2-3 weeks. Larger systems with multiple components take 8-12 weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline in our proposal.

Minimally. We need access to your systems and a point of contact for questions - usually 1-2 hours per week. We handle the engineering; you handle the domain expertise and feedback.

We start with a kickoff call to align on scope, access, and communication. You share relevant docs, credentials, and context. We're usually writing code within the first week.

Projects typically range from $5K-$50K+ depending on complexity. We offer fixed-price projects for defined scope and monthly retainers for ongoing work. See our pricing page for tier details.

Both. Fixed-price for well-defined projects with clear deliverables. Monthly retainers for ongoing development, optimization, or advisory work. We'll recommend what fits your situation.

It happens. Small adjustments are normal and expected. For significant scope changes, we'll discuss the impact on timeline and cost before proceeding - no surprise invoices.

Production-ready code deployed to your infrastructure, documentation, and a handoff session with your team. You own everything we build. No lock-in, no proprietary dependencies.

We offer ongoing support retainers for maintenance, monitoring, and iteration. If you prefer to handle it in-house, we make sure your team is set up to maintain the system independently.

We include a warranty period (typically 30 days) after launch for bug fixes at no extra cost. After that, issues are covered under a support retainer or billed as a separate engagement.

Yes, always. We sign NDAs before any substantive technical discussion. Client confidentiality is non-negotiable.

You do. Upon full payment, all custom code and deliverables belong to you. We retain rights to general methodologies and pre-existing tools, but everything built for your project is yours.

We're model-agnostic and stack-flexible. OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models - whatever fits the problem. On the engineering side: Python, TypeScript, and modern cloud infrastructure. We also work within your existing stack.

Yes. Most of our work involves integrating with what you already have - your databases, APIs, internal tools, and workflows. We don't ask you to rip and replace.

We work across industries - fintech, healthtech, SaaS, e-commerce, professional services. The common thread is engineering teams that need AI expertise they don't have in-house.
