Software thatoutlives theengagement.
We build systems and modernize the ones you already run, then hand them back with the runbooks, the decision records and a local setup that works on the first try. The measure of the engagement is whether your engineers ship the next change without us.
- No bench
- The people who scope the work write the code. Nobody is staffed on to fill a seat.
- No lock-in
- Your accounts, your repositories, and no framework of ours you would keep paying for.
- Handover with a date
- Agreed at the start. Your engineers ship a real change before the engagement closes.
Nine practices, and the honesty to tell you which two you need.
Six of them are below. Most engagements need two, and we will say which in the first conversation rather than the third.
Every practiceMost of what goes wrong on a software engagement goes wrong at the handover, long after the invoices stop.
So we work backwards from it. Everything below exists to make the end of the engagement uneventful.
Small senior teams, no pyramid
The people who scope the work write the code. There is no bench behind us, which means there is nobody to staff onto your project to fill a seat, and no junior layer learning on your budget.
Written to be handed over
Runbooks, architecture decision records and a local setup that works on the first try are deliverables, not favours. You should be able to end the engagement in a week without breaking anything.
AI where it earns its place
Retrieval, evaluation and agents built as ordinary production systems — with traces, tests and a cost line you can read. Not a delivery methodology sold back to you as a product.
Where we have actually done the work.
Twenty-one technologies, one team. We pick from this list; we do not add to it for the sake of a proposal.
What we are working out in the open
Notes from the work — written when we learn something, not on a content calendar.
Tell us what you are trying to ship.
One call, no deck. Describe the system and the deadline, and we will tell you what we would do first — including when the answer is that you do not need us.
