01Process

A predictable path,
from kickoff to handoff.

Four phases. Fixed scope per phase. Weekly cadence. No Jira ceremonies, no 80-page discovery decks, no surprise invoices.

05FAQ

Engagement
questions.

What if scope changes mid-engagement?

We flag it in the weekly demo. If the change is small, we absorb it. If it's significant, we issue a one-page change order with a revised price and timeline. No surprise invoices.

How do you handle fixed price + uncertain scope?

We price by phase, not by feature. Phase 1 (Frame) has a fixed price. Phases 2–4 are priced at the end of Phase 1, when scope is concrete. You never commit to a price for work that isn't yet defined.

Do we own the IP?

Yes. All work-product is yours from day one. Your repo, your accounts, your domain. We retain rights to nothing except the right to list the engagement in our portfolio.

What if we want to extend an engagement?

Common. We re-scope at the end of Care and sign a follow-on if both sides want it. No auto-renewals, no lock-ins.
