How We Work

Milestone-driven. No surprises.

Every project follows the same 7-phase pipeline. You see working software every two weeks, pay in milestones, and own everything at the end.

The Process

7 phases. Every project.

We follow this pipeline on every engagement — no shortcuts, no phases skipped.

Discovery & Scoping

3–5 days

We start by deeply understanding your idea, business model, and target users. We map user flows, define the MVP feature set, and write a detailed scope document — no ambiguity, no surprise additions later.

Architecture

2–3 days

We design the technical architecture before writing a line of code — database schema, API contracts, infrastructure plan, and the tech stack choice. This prevents expensive rework down the line.

UI / UX Design

1–2 weeks

We design every screen in Figma before development starts. You review and approve each flow. We don't build what hasn't been designed — this eliminates the 'that's not what I imagined' problem.

Frontend Build

2–5 weeks

We implement the approved designs in code — pixel-perfect, responsive, and accessible. Components are built to be reusable and match the design system exactly.

Backend & APIs

2–6 weeks

We build the server, database, and API layer — authentication, business logic, data models, and third-party integrations. All APIs are documented with Swagger/OpenAPI.

AI Integration

1–3 weeks

For projects with AI features, we integrate LLMs, build RAG pipelines, or deploy autonomous agents. Every AI feature is evaluated for accuracy before release.

Deploy & Handover

3–5 days

We deploy to production on your cloud infrastructure, configure DNS and SSL, set up monitoring and alerting, and hand over all source code, credentials, and documentation.

Payment Model

Pay as we deliver

We split every project into 4 payment milestones tied to real deliverables — not arbitrary calendar dates.

20%

Project Kickoff

Paid before Discovery starts. Confirms commitment and lets us allocate the team.

30%

Design Approval

Paid when you sign off on the Figma designs. Development starts immediately after.

25%

Build Complete

Paid when the full build is delivered to staging for your testing and review.

25%

Final Delivery

Paid on production deployment and full asset handover. No deployment without final sign-off.

Our Principles

How we operate

The rules we work by — on every project, for every client.

Two-week sprints

All projects run in two-week cycles. You see working software every two weeks — not just status updates.

One point of contact

You talk to one project lead throughout. No account managers, no relay chains.

Everything documented

Scope changes, decisions, and rationale are all written down. You always know what's happening and why.

No surprise invoices

Scope is fixed at kickoff. If requirements change, we scope the delta and agree before proceeding.

Same team start to finish

The team you meet in discovery is the team that builds. No junior substitutes after the pitch.

You own everything

100% of source code, design files, infrastructure, and credentials transfer to you on final payment.
