How Engagements Start

Most projects begin with a scoped first milestone. We quote the deliverable after understanding your starting point.

Start From Zero

Idea to first release

Define a practical first milestone, then build the first usable version you can demo and deploy.

  • Scope milestone one before writing code
  • Core UI + API + database flow
  • Deployment and handoff notes
  • Roadmap for what ships next
Good Fit If You Need:
MVPs, internal tools, first customer-facing release

Stabilize Existing App

Fix fragile architecture

Jump into your current repo, diagnose issues, and make the app safer to maintain and extend.

  • Reproduce and trace failing workflows
  • Architecture and file-structure cleanup
  • Supabase/API/integration debugging
  • Verified fixes with clear change log
Good Fit If You Need:
Fragile MVPs, AI-generated codebases, half-finished products

Add Production Layers

Scale reliability over time

Start simple, then layer in payments, observability, compliance, and deeper integrations when needed.

  • Stripe/webhooks and revenue-critical paths
  • Observability and deployment safeguards
  • Permissions/compliance-ready architecture
  • Milestone-based expansion
Good Fit If You Need:
SaaS growth, team rollouts, regulated feature sets

Pricing depends on the starting point and milestone scope. We quote after intake so deliverables are clear before execution begins.

What Actually Takes Time

Timelines depend on starting condition and scope, not one generic build template.

20-30%

Scope & Starting Point

New build, fragile MVP, or active codebase repair — this sets the shape of the first milestone.

30-40%

Core Implementation

Frontend, backend, database, and integration work for the scoped deliverable. This is only part of the timeline.

15-25%

Review & Iteration

Feedback loops refine behavior and UX. We keep room for this to avoid rushed release quality.

10-20%

Integration Reliability

Stripe, domains, API keys, webhooks, and deployment settings take careful setup and verification.

10-15%

Verification & Handoff

Type, lint, build, and critical-flow checks run before release, then we hand off clear implementation notes.

0-30%

Optional Enterprise Layers

SSO, compliance prep, advanced permissions, and security hardening are layered in when your product actually needs them.

The Honest Truth

We do not quote from a generic weekly template. We scope milestone one first, then estimate based on your codebase condition, integrations, and verification requirements. Typical delivery: milestone-based and stage-dependent, with the first release scoped for momentum.
