Three shapes of engagement depending on what you need. Each starts with a conversation, not a contract.
A specific engineering question, thoroughly answered.
Bring a defined problem: an architecture review, a technical audit, a design decision that needs an expert second opinion. We analyse it, document it, and give you a clear path forward. No ongoing obligation.
Reserved capacity for engineering work, month to month.
A predictable level of involvement without the overhead of a full-time hire. Reserved for development, architecture decisions, code review, and technical leadership whatever the work requires that month.
A scoped piece of work, delivered from start to production.
Scope is defined together before anything begins. Both sides agree on what is being built, what done looks like, and what the timeline is. Then we build it. No ambiguity about what was agreed.
No lengthy intake forms or sales sequences. Three steps from first contact to work underway.
We talk through the problem in enough detail to actually understand it — the system, the constraints, the history, and what you are trying to achieve. Most of the conversation is us asking questions. By the end, both sides have a clear picture of the situation and whether working together makes sense.
Scope, approach, timeline, and pricing in one document. No verbal commitments, no surprises later. You have a clear picture of exactly what you are agreeing to before anything starts. Questions at this stage are expected and encouraged.
Once both sides are aligned, work starts on the agreed date. For retainers, capacity is reserved from day one. For projects, the first milestone is set before the first line of code. You will know what is happening and when throughout.
Yes, for clearly scoped work. Scope is defined together before anything is agreed, so both sides know exactly what is being built and what done looks like.
Yes. Most engagements involve collaboration with in-house developers, product owners, or other consultants. The model adapts to how your team is structured.
A short discovery conversation to understand the problem. A written proposal with scope and approach. Work begins once both sides are aligned. For projects, milestones are agreed upfront.
Retainer clients get reserved capacity that is not available to other engagements. Advisory and project work is scheduled to avoid conflicts. You will know in advance what the arrangement looks like.
Describe what you are working on. We will tell you what makes sense.
