How we work
How we agree the work, keep you informed and take responsibility for delivery.
Three steps
1 · Look first
A review of existing code, or a scope for something new. Written down, so you can use it with or without us.2 · Build or fix
Short cycles. A demo every week, and you can see the backlog.3 · Keep it running
The same team stays on, or hands over properly with documentation.What you can count on
- Your code, accounts and environments stay in your name.
- No code or access before an NDA, and read-only access first.
- One lead engineer who knows your product and answers your calls.
- A straight answer if something shouldn't be built, or shouldn't be rebuilt.
- Documentation good enough for another team to take over.
Who will work on my product?
A lead engineer runs your product day to day. Other engineers join as the work needs: mobile, backend, payments or infrastructure. You'll meet your lead engineer before you agree anything.
How much does it cost?
We don't have a price list, because products differ too much. After the first conversation we'll suggest a first step, with its scope and cost.
How do we get started?
- Tell us about your product. A few sentences is enough.
- An engineer replies by email with a few questions.
- A short call.
- We suggest a first step, or tell you honestly if we're not the right fit.
Questions people ask us
Can you take over code another team started?
Yes. That's how our longest client relationship began. We start with a review of the code and setup, give you written findings and the options, and agree the next step with you. If parts need rebuilding, we'll say so and explain why. If they don't, we won't sell you a rebuild.
Who owns the code and the accounts?
You do. Your code, accounts and environments stay in your name. When a product launches, the app-store, hosting and monitoring accounts are yours.
Do you sign an NDA before seeing our code?
Yes. We don't ask for code or access before an NDA is in place, and we start with read-only access.
Do you work on payments and other regulated products?
Payments is where we go deepest. For four years we've been the engineering team behind a regulated money-transfer company's consumer apps and business platform, including banking and payout integrations, monitoring and sanctions screening on every payment. Read the payments case study.
What happens after launch?
We can keep running the product: releases on a schedule you can plan around, monitoring and alerts, security updates and app-store changes, and new features from a roadmap we agree with you. Or we hand over with documentation good enough for another team to take over.
