// cash up front · no equity · no on-spec work
A handful of clear ways to bring us in — fixed-scope where the work is known, rate-based where it isn't. We discount scope, never rate: a smaller engagement is always on the table; a cut-rate one isn't.
Most teams start with a review or an MVP and grow from there.
A structured read of your system or a consequential decision — design, data model, AI approach, cloud posture — with a written set of findings and recommendations.
A focused first version of a product or feature, built to ship and documented for handoff. Taken on a few at a time — scoped to a clear outcome, not an open-ended retainer.
Senior technical leadership without a full-time hire — architecture direction, hard calls, and AI strategy for a team that needs the seniority part-time.
For work that's better priced by time than by deliverable — scoped per engagement after we talk. We discount scope, never rate.
The sharpest fit: mid-market B2B SaaS companies adding their first serious AI features, where the buyer is a CTO or VP of Engineering who's pragmatic, budget-ready, and moves in days, not quarters.
Tell us what you're building and what's in the way. We'll tell you, honestly, whether we're the right team for it.
A clear deliverable, a price, and a timeline. Fixed where we can be; rate-based where the work genuinely is.
AI-assisted delivery with a senior engineer accountable, shipped incrementally and documented so your team can own it.
One email starts it. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so — and often point you somewhere better.
