▸ Engagement Models ◂
CONSULT
Got a technical question, need a code review, or want an honest second opinion before you commit to a direction? Grab an hour.
PROJECT
Fixed scope, fixed price. Tell us what you need, we’ll quote it honestly, build it well, and hand it off clean. Most MVPs and feature builds land here.
RETAINER
A senior engineer on speed dial. Like having a great hire without the recruiting, onboarding, equity negotiations, or awkward 1-on-1s.
▸ F.A.Q. Terminal ◂
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUERIES
Who actually writes the code?
Senior engineers with 5–10+ years of production experience. You’ll meet your engineer on the first call and work with them directly. No bait-and-switch where you talk to a senior and get assigned a junior.
What’s the minimum budget?
For project work, most engagements start around $5K. For consulting, you can book individual hours at $150. Retainers start at $4K/month. We’re not trying to be the cheapest—we’re trying to be the best value.
How do you handle communication?
We join your Slack, Discord, or whatever you use. Quick daily check-ins, weekly demos, and a shared project board. No 47-page status reports. Just clear communication between adults.
What if the project goes over budget?
For fixed-price projects, that’s our problem, not yours. We scope carefully and eat overruns. We’d rather take a small hit than nickel-and-dime you with change orders.
Do you offer ongoing support?
That’s the retainer model. Most clients start with a project and switch to a retainer for ongoing features and maintenance. It’s like having a senior developer on payroll without the W-2 paperwork.
How are you different from Upwork?
We’re a vetted collective, not a marketplace. Every engineer is senior-level. We team up on bigger projects. And if someone gets hit by a bus (or just gets the flu), the rest of the crew picks up. Try getting that from a solo freelancer.
I have an idea but nothing built yet. Can you help?
That’s our favorite kind of project. We’ll help you figure out what to build first, what to skip for now, and how to get something real in front of users as fast as possible.
Do you do white-label work?
Absolutely. We’re the invisible dev team behind several design agencies and studios. NDA-friendly, your brand, your client relationship. We’re comfortable being the brains behind the curtain.
