Pricing starts at $2.8k / week for a one-week Sprint. A fixed-scope Build is from $12k, and where it lands depends on auth, integrations, and data migration. We quote a band after a short discovery call and lock the written scope before you pay anything — see /how-fixed-scope-works and /pricing.
Accepting projects · Remote-first senior studio
Fixed-scope software for SMB founders — shipped by seniors.
How every build runs
- Written fixed scope
- Senior-only teams
- Weekly demos
- You own the code
What we do
Six disciplines. One team that ships.
Senior engineers, designers, and product leads own the work end to end. We do not staff juniors to learn on your project.
Web Applications
SaaS dashboards, portals, and internal tools.
Mobile Apps
Native and cross-platform apps that share one backend.
AI & LLM Systems
RAG, agents, and workflows scoped to your data.
UI / UX Design
Research-led flows and systems your team can keep.
DevOps & Cloud
Infra, observability, and a deploy story you own.
Product Strategy
Roadmap, metrics, and embedded product leadership.
Anonymized case brief
Wholesale distributor customer portal — fixed scope in twelve weeks.
A regional distributor with eight locations replaced phone-and-spreadsheet order status with a customer portal, ops dashboard, and weekly milestone demos. Anonymized representative brief — not a named client endorsement.

Who we serve
Built for operators and founders.
We go deep in three lanes instead of shallow in thirty. If your business moves physical goods, runs multiple sites, or is shipping its first SaaS — this is built for you.
Wholesale distributors
Spreadsheet pricing, portal gaps, and ERP workflows that stop at the warehouse door.
Software for distributorsMulti-location operators
Internal tools that keep every site on the same playbook — inventory, scheduling, reporting.
Internal tools for ops teamsEarly-stage SaaS founders
A fixed-scope MVP or the next hard milestone — without hiring a full in-house team first.
Product engineering for SaaSHow we work
Discover, design, build, ship.
A four-phase cadence with a written brief, weekly demos, and a hard stop at each handoff.
- 01 / 04
Discover
Interviews, constraints, and a written brief that becomes the shared source of truth.
You get: Written brief - 02 / 04
Design
Flows first, then a clickable prototype your team can test before we write production code.
You get: Clickable prototype - 03 / 04
Build
Two-week sprints, weekly demos, and a staging environment from the first increment.
You get: Working staging build - 04 / 04
Ship
Launch playbook, monitoring, and a short post-launch pass to harden what real use breaks.
You get: Launch playbook
Why teams pick us
Four rules we won't negotiate on.
Four delivery commitments we can put in writing before work begins.
Senior-only team
No bait-and-switch. The lead you meet in week one is the lead who ships v1.
Instead of: A pitch team that hands you to juniors
Fixed-scope, fixed-price
You see the price before the SOW is signed. No mid-project surprises, no scope-creep games.
Instead of: An hourly meter that runs until the budget does
Security, scoped early
We map sensitive data and threats during discovery, agree on controls, and scope independent testing where the product needs it.
Instead of: A security review bolted on the week before launch
Code you can keep
You own the repo, the infra, and the docs. We engineer for the handoff from week one.
Instead of: A codebase only the original vendor can run
Ways to engage
Right-sized for the stage.
Every engagement starts with a written scope, a named senior team, and a price you can plan around.
- $2.8k/ week
Sprint
A hyper-focused 1-week sprint to build a working prototype, clear a technical blocker, or ship a major standalone feature.
- from $12k/ project
Build
Fixed-scope, fixed-price end-to-end product build. Design, database schemas, authentication, Stripe billing, and a launch playbook in 3–5 weeks.
- $5.2k/ month
Embed
Fractional CTO and dedicated lead engineer on retainer. High-bandwidth feature shipping and architectural oversight without the full-time salary.

Startup scenarios
What teams need after launch.
Illustrative, fictional scenarios showing the outcomes startup and mid-market teams typically care about. These are demo examples, not client endorsements.
Anonymized client feedback · name withheld
We needed one morning view of inventory, orders, and exceptions — without buying an enterprise system before the business was ready.

Version one only had to serve three kitchens reliably. Clear vendor workflows mattered more than a long feature list on day one.
