Pricing & Engagement Models

Q: How do you handle communication and timezone differences?

We operate a flexible 8 hour working day that we align to maximise real time overlap with your timezone. You get a dedicated project lead on Slack and WhatsApp, daily async standups posted in your shared channel, sprint demos every two weeks scheduled at your convenience, and a 4-hour SLA on critical issues.

Q: What technology stack do you use?

Node.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, deployed on AWS/GCP/Azure. For VoIP: FreeSWITCH, Asterisk, Kamailio, WebRTC. For AI: OpenAI and Claude APIs, Elasticsearch, vector databases.

Q: How does AI led development actually work?

Senior human engineers design architecture, business logic, and security modules. AI coding agents handle scaffolding, boilerplate, CRUD, test generation, and docs. Every line of AI generated code is reviewed by a senior engineer before merging.

Q: What does your pricing model look like?

Three models: Fixed price projects, monthly retainers, and dedicated team arrangements. All pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. Detailed estimate within 48 hours of your free consultation.

Q: How do you handle data security and GDPR compliance?

Encryption at rest (AES-256), TLS 1.3, RBAC, immutable audit logs. UK/EU data hosting options. GDPR compliant architecture as standard.

From first call to live system

A predictable, structured process so you always know what's happening and what's coming next.

📋

Week 1

Free Discovery Call & Assessment

30 minute call to understand your project, current system, and goals. We produce a written scope, timeline, and cost estimate within 48 hours. No commitment required.

🔍

Week 1–2

Technical Audit (for redevelopments)

For existing systems: we spend one week reviewing your codebase, database, and undocumented logic before any new development begins. Surprises get caught here, not mid project.

⚙️

Week 2–3

Architecture & Sprint Planning

System architecture finalised. Sprint plan agreed. AI tooling stack configured. Development environment set up. Team introduced to your stakeholders.

🚀

Week 3 onwards

AI Accelerated Development

Two-week sprints. Working software demonstrated at the end of every sprint, not just status updates. You see progress every two weeks, not in month three.

🛡️

Go live + 60 days

Stabilisation Period

Full team on standby for 30–60 days post launch. Daily status reports. Critical issues fixed within 4 hours. Old system kept running as fallback. Included in project fee.

🔧

Ongoing

Optional Maintenance Retainer

Monthly retainer covers bug fixes within SLA, dependency updates, API maintenance, performance monitoring, and up to 8 hours of minor enhancements per month.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from prospective clients.

Who owns the intellectual property and source code?

You do, 100%, from day one. All source code, documentation, infrastructure credentials, and deployment scripts are yours. We don't retain any proprietary claim. We document everything clearly enough that any competent engineering team can take over without us.

Do you sign NDAs before starting a project?

Yes. We sign NDAs as standard before any code review, technical audit, or discovery work begins. We also sign master service agreements (MSAs) that cover IP assignment, confidentiality, data handling, and liability. We're happy to work with your legal templates.

What's the minimum project size or budget?

Our typical engagements start at around $5,000 for a focused MVP or module build. For ongoing retainers, we start at $3,000/month. We're happy to discuss smaller scopes, the free consultation helps us determine fit before any commitment.

How do you handle communication and timezone differences?

We operate a flexible 8 hour working day that we shift to maximise real time overlap with your timezone, whether you're in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, or Asia-Pacific. In practice, here's what this means: you'll have a dedicated project lead reachable on Slack and WhatsApp during your business hours, not a support ticket queue. Daily async standups are posted in your shared channel every morning (your time). Sprint demos run every two weeks over video call, scheduled at your convenience. Critical issues carry a 4-hour response SLA. Clients across multiple continents consistently say communication is one of our strongest points, it's the first thing most of them mention.

What technology stack do you use?

Our primary stack is Node.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Redis, deployed on AWS, GCP, or Azure depending on your requirements. For VoIP we use FreeSWITCH, Asterisk, Kamailio, and WebRTC. For AI integrations we work with OpenAI and Claude APIs, Elasticsearch, and vector databases. We're stack flexible and will recommend what suits your project best.

How does AI led development actually work? Is AI writing all the code?

No, senior human engineers design the architecture, business logic, and security critical modules. AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) handle scaffolding, boilerplate, CRUD operations, test generation, and documentation. Every line of AI generated code is reviewed by a senior engineer before merging. The result is 3× faster delivery with higher quality, not a replacement for human judgment.

What does your pricing model look like?

We offer three models: (1) Fixed price project engagements with scope locked at signing, (2) Monthly retainers for ongoing development and maintenance, and (3) Dedicated team arrangements for larger initiatives. All pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. We provide a detailed estimate within 48 hours of your free consultation.

How do you handle data security and GDPR compliance?

All projects handling personal data are built with encryption at rest (AES-256), TLS 1.3 in transit, role based access control, and immutable audit logs. We offer UK/EU data hosting options and build GDPR compliant architecture as standard. We maintain rigorous quality management processes aligned with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II external certification standards to serve regulated enterprise environments.

Can we see examples of code quality, references, and your standard contract?

Absolutely. We are fully transparent about our AI-native processes. Before you sign, we can provide you with Sample Test Coverage Reports, an anonymized Architecture Document from a past project, our standard Draft MSA/SOW (which explicitly covers IP, data protection, and termination clauses), and arrange calls with 2–3 reference clients from your industry.
