how it goes
How we work
We deliver in stages you can see and sign off. No six months of silence followed by a grand reveal — and no price pulled out of an empty brief.
The process
- An opening callWe work out what the system has to do, who will use it, and which part of it truly comes first.
- A self-contained first stageA small, closed piece at a fixed price — a design and a prototype that shows whether it makes sense to carry on.
- Delivery in stagesEvery stage has its own scope, price and date. After each one you have a working version, not just a timesheet.
- Going to productionPipeline, monitoring, backups and documentation. Deployment is not a separate order at the end.
- Operations and growthEither we run it, or we hand it to your team — including access, migrations and a description of how it works.
Pricing
- Fixed price per stage. When the scope is clear. You know what it will cost, we know what has to be built.
- Time and materials for growth. For long-term maintenance and continuous changes, where the scope shifts every month.
- A ballpark straight away. After the opening call you will know whether we are talking tens of hours or months. A binding figure only makes sense against a written brief — and that is usually what the first stage produces.
What is yours and what is ours
- The bespoke code and the data are yours. Everything written for your project — including access, migrations and documentation.
- Our libraries and products stay ours. Ready-made components and our own products (Subscriber Pilot, for one) are licensed as part of the delivery. They are the reason the result lands sooner and cheaper than writing it from scratch — the scope of the licence is agreed up front, not at the end.
- You can take over operations. Everything runs in containers and ships from a pipeline — taking it over is not a rewrite.
- We won’t hold you. What is yours you get at any time. Our parts run under the agreed licence — whether we operate it or somebody else does.
What we don’t offer: development paid for later, or a revenue share instead of a price. Scope and price are agreed up front, stage by stage — so both sides know where they stand.
