Engagement models & pricing
Three ways to work with us, priced up front.
Pick the model that matches how your work arrives: a defined project, a steady flow of tasks, or a complex system with compliance requirements. You know the price before work starts, and any of them can begin with a one-week trial.
Fixed-scope project
Best for: A defined build with a clear finish line
Fixed price, milestone-based
- A website, store, app or a specific feature
- Written scope, timeline and fixed price agreed before work starts
- We manage design, build and launch; you approve at each milestone
- Typical scope: a focused 1–2 month engagement
Dedicated allocation
Best for: A steady stream of work that never quite ends
Simple monthly rate
- One dedicated developer, marketer or executive assistant
- Works your hours, in your tools, alongside your team
- Add or reduce people month to month
- No recruiting, payroll overhead or long contract
Enterprise engagement
Best for: Systems where failure, data exposure or an audit gap is expensive
Custom statement of work
- Architecture designed around your compliance and audit requirements
- A dedicated senior team with a named delivery lead
- Audit trails, row-level security and access controls from the start
- Ongoing support and maintenance after launch
Early-stage startups: we consider blended cash-and-equity arrangements case by case.
Dedicated allocation
Add one experienced person without a hiring process.
Choose the role. We match a vetted, senior person who works your hours, inside your tools, as part of your team, for a flat monthly rate. If the first week doesn’t work, you stop there.
A Developer
Full-stack, front-end, back-end, mobile or AI, matched to the stack you already run.
A Marketing Specialist
SEO, AI search (answer engine optimization, or AEO), content, paid, email and analytics, working to your pipeline targets.
An Executive Assistant
Inbox, scheduling, research and operations admin, so senior people stop spending their week on it.
How we deliver
AI handles the repetitive work. Our engineers own the outcome.
Much of a build’s cost sits in routine work: setup, boilerplate, first-draft tests. AI tools speed that up. Review, architecture and quality checks stay with senior engineers, so speed doesn’t come from skipping them.
Scope and design the system
A senior engineer works out the data model, the integrations and the build plan with you. These decisions shape everything after, so a person makes them.
Build, with AI on the routine work
AI tools draft scaffolding, boilerplate and first-pass tests, so engineering hours go into the parts specific to your business.
Review and harden
Engineers review the code, check security and own the quality of what ships. Nothing AI-drafted goes out unreviewed.
Launch and keep improving
Production release with monitoring in place, then short cycles of changes based on how people actually use it.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I start with a trial?
Yes. Any engagement, project or dedicated allocation, can begin with a one-week trial. You see the exact person or team working on a real task before committing to anything longer.
What does a dedicated allocation cost?
A flat monthly rate per person, which depends on the role and seniority. It is typically well below the fully loaded cost of a comparable local hire once salary, benefits and recruiting are counted. Tell us the role and we’ll send exact pricing, usually within one business day.
How is a fixed-price project priced?
We agree a written scope first, then a fixed price paid against milestones. If your requirements change mid-project, we price the change separately before doing it, so the budget doesn’t drift without your sign-off.
Do you offer discounts for equity?
For a small number of early-stage companies we’ll consider a blended cash-and-equity arrangement. Mention it in your enquiry and we can look at whether it fits.
Can I switch models later?
Yes. A common path is a fixed project to launch, then a dedicated allocation for the improvements that follow.
Not sure which model fits?
Describe the work and how it tends to arrive. We’ll suggest the smallest engagement that solves it, and you can start with a one-week trial.
