01What this is
You are not hiring anyone and you are not managing anyone. One partner takes the software side of your business and owns it: works out what is worth building, builds it, and stays on to run it. You bring the business problem. Turning it into the right thing to build is our job.
02What you get
Not a coder you point at tasks, and not a shop that builds whatever it is handed. We think about the business first and the build second, which is the part most dev shops skip. One partner is accountable for the result, start to finish.
03What it costs
A flat monthly fee, billed 100% in advance. One invoice a month, and no surprise line items from us. One partner owns your account start to finish, so we only ever hold a few of these at a time.
Hosting and third-party services sit in your own accounts or come to you at cost, and we always flag them before they start.
04How it feels
Requests go in one place and you never have to book a meeting to get something built. We are around through the week whenever you want a conversation, and there is room for a call or two a month. This is the rhythm we run to, counted in working days: norms rather than a guarantee on any one item, and anything about to miss lands in the Friday note before the date.
05The honest part
Building software has got faster. Building the right software has not. Before we build we have to understand how your business actually works, and often the information we need is not yet in a shape software can use. When that happens, that is the work that month, and you will see fewer new features while it is going on.
06Leaving
In writing, with no notice period and no exit fee. Billing stops immediately. A month already started is not refunded, and you keep our full attention until the end of it. We would rather you left with a machine that works than felt stuck with us.
07Why us
A shop makes its money on the build, so the work is finished the day the invoice goes out. We are paid monthly, for as long as this keeps being worth it to you.
So we are rewarded for the experience being good month after month, rather than for getting a project signed off.
