Someone who can decide
One person who can approve scope and sign off designs without a committee. This is the single biggest factor in whether a fixed timeline holds.
Our process
The same five stages run every engagement, whether it's an AI pilot or a mobile app. What changes is the length — not how much you can see, or when you find out the price.
EVERY ENGAGEMENT
Five stages, the same team throughout, and nothing that only becomes clear at invoice time.
We ask what the work looks like today and what "done" actually means. If we aren't the right fit, you'll hear it on this call rather than in a proposal.
30 minutes, freeScope, timeline and a fixed price in writing — no hourly billing, and no open-ended retainer before anything exists.
Within 48 hoursA clickable prototype or a mapped workflow, reviewed and signed off by the people who will live with it — before a line of production code.
Week 1Working software on a live staging link every week, so feedback happens while changing course is still cheap.
Weekly, until launchDeployed to your own accounts and infrastructure, documented, and walked through with your team — then 30 days of support.
Final week + 30 daysHOW WE WORK
Most of what goes wrong in an agency relationship is a pricing or ownership surprise. These exist to remove both.
The people you meet on the discovery call are the ones who design and build it. There is no handoff to a junior team once you sign.
You know the full cost before committing. We would rather scope carefully once than send you a surprise invoice later.
If something new comes up mid-build, we tell you what it costs and what it moves before doing it — never after.
A live link, updated weekly. You never have to take our word for how far along something is.
Your repository, your infrastructure, your app store and cloud accounts. Nothing we build depends on us to keep running.
If an off-the-shelf tool already does the job, or the idea is not ready yet, that is a more useful answer than a proposal.
By engagement
What the middle of that timeline looks like depends on what we're building.
What we need from you
Fixed timelines hold when decisions don't sit waiting. This is the whole list.
One person who can approve scope and sign off designs without a committee. This is the single biggest factor in whether a fixed timeline holds.
An hour with whoever actually runs the process today. They know the exceptions that never made it into any documentation.
Enough to review the staging link and answer questions. We do not need daily standups from you.
Cloud, app store and third-party accounts in your name from day one — so ownership is never something we have to transfer later.
