Engagement Models
Four ways to work with us. Pick the one that fits.
Some clients need one product built to a fixed price. Others need a team that stays. This page sets out exactly what each option costs you in commitment, what you get, and who it suits, so you can decide before you speak to us.

Not sure which applies? Start with a discovery call. We will tell you which model fits, including when the answer is the smaller one.
Clear expectations, predictable delivery, and a model that flexes to your stage.
Model details, at a glance.
Pick the structure that matches your timeline and risk tolerance. Each model is designed to keep scope, ownership, and outcomes transparent.
Model 01
Fixed-Scope Project
A defined build, a fixed price, and a date it finishes.
What it is
You know what you need built. We scope it in writing, quote a fixed figure, and deliver against agreed milestones. Nothing changes without a written change request, so the number you approve at the start is the number you pay at the end.
- Commitment
- Single project, typically 4 to 16 weeks
- Billing
- Fixed price, paid against milestones
- Starts from
- Custom quote
Best for
- Websites, platforms and applications with a clear specification
- MVPs where the feature set is already decided
- Teams working to a launch date or a funding milestone
Includes
- Written scope with milestones and acceptance criteria
- Design and development through to launch
- QA and cross device testing
- Handover of code and documentation
- 30 day post launch support window
Model 02
Dedicated Team
A product squad that works only on you, month after month.
What it is
A named, cross functional team that operates as your engineering department. You set the priorities, they ship against them every week. No re-quoting for each new feature and no waiting for capacity, because the team is already yours.
- Commitment
- Monthly, 3 month minimum, 30 days notice to end
- Billing
- Fixed monthly fee based on squad size
- Starts from
- Custom quote per month
Best for
- Products with a roadmap that keeps evolving
- Companies that need consistent delivery rather than one off builds
- Teams clearing a backlog faster than they can hire for
Includes
- Named product manager and lead engineer
- Weekly planning, delivery and reporting cadence
- Roadmap and KPI alignment reviewed each month
- Reusable component library and documentation
- Direct access to the team, not a ticket queue
Model 03
Technical Leadership
Senior engineering direction, without hiring a CTO.
What it is
A senior engineering lead who owns the technical decisions your product depends on. Architecture, stack choices, code standards, security posture, and oversight of whoever is doing the building, whether that is us, your team, or a third party.
- Commitment
- Monthly, 1 month minimum
- Billing
- Fixed monthly fee based on hours committed
- Starts from
- Custom quote per month
Best for
- Non technical founders who need someone accountable for engineering decisions
- Teams whose codebase is becoming difficult to extend
- Companies about to hire engineers who need the structure set up first
Includes
- Architecture and technology stack decisions
- Code standards, review process and quality guardrails
- Technical due diligence and codebase audits
- Engineering hiring support, from role definition to interviewing
- Delivery oversight of internal or external development teams
Model 04
Startup Build
Idea to launched product, handled end to end.
What it is
For teams starting with a concept rather than a specification. We work through validation and scope first, build the product, and get it into the hands of real users. Delivered in phases, each with its own fixed price, so you can stop or change direction between phases rather than committing everything up front.
- Commitment
- Phased, typically 8 to 20 weeks end to end
- Billing
- Fixed price per phase
- Starts from
- Custom quote
Best for
- Zero to one product launches
- Founders who need strategy and execution from the same team
- Early stage companies preparing for a funding round
Includes
- Discovery, validation and scope definition
- Product design and user flows
- Full MVP build and launch
- Analytics and measurement set up
- Architecture built to extend rather than be rebuilt
What stays the same, whichever model you choose.
The engagement structure changes. The way we work does not.
Weekly delivery rhythm
Short feedback loops, clear milestones, and a written progress report every week. You never wait until launch day to find out where things stand.
Transparent scope and ownership
You always know what is in scope, what is coming next, and who is responsible for it. Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted before it is built, never after.
Quality guardrails
QA, performance testing and cross device checks on every release, against maintainable implementation standards rather than whatever ships fastest.
Security-minded delivery
Access on a least privilege basis, secure credential handling, and safe defaults applied from the first commit rather than retrofitted before launch.
Handover that scales
Clean structure, reusable components and real documentation, so your own team or your next partner can pick the work up without a rebuild.
Support after launch
Post launch support is included or available on every model, scaled to the engagement rather than sold as an afterthought.
Not sure which model fits?
Tell us what you are building and where you are with it. We will recommend the model that suits your stage, including when that means a smaller engagement than you came for.
