Engagement Models

Introduction

Flexible engagement, real accountability

We structure engagements around your needs, not billable hours. Every model includes our commitment to lifecycle ownership— long-term accountability beyond the initial project.

Transparent Investment

No hidden fees, no surprise scope creep. We define clear deliverables and honest timelines upfront, so you know exactly what you're investing in.

Embedded Team

Senior engineers, integrated with your team

Our engineers work alongside your internal team, bringing expertise in design, engineering, and product strategy. This model works best for ongoing product development and companies building core platforms.

Best for

  • Long-term product development
  • Teams needing senior expertise without full-time hiring
  • Complex systems requiring deep domain knowledge
Embedded engagements typically run 6+ months with dedicated team members working 20-40 hours per week.

Project-Based

Defined scope, clear outcomes

For projects with well-defined requirements, we deliver end-to-end solutions—from discovery through launch. Fixed investment with ongoing maintenance included in our lifecycle ownership model.

Best for

  • New product launches
  • Platform rebuilds or migrations
  • Specific feature development
Project timelines vary from 8-24 weeks depending on scope and complexity. All projects include 90 days of post-launch support.

Advisory & Strategy

Strategic guidance for critical decisions

Technical leadership and product strategy for teams navigating complex challenges. Architecture reviews, technology selection, and roadmap planning—without the overhead of a full engagement.

Best for

  • Technical due diligence
  • Architecture and technology decisions
  • Product strategy and roadmapping
Advisory engagements are structured as retainers or project-based consulting, typically 10-20 hours per month.

What to Expect

Discovery call

Every engagement starts with a conversation. We learn about your business, constraints, and goals to determine if we're the right fit.

Proposal & scoping

For qualified opportunities, we provide a detailed proposal outlining approach, timeline, team composition, and investment.

Kickoff & execution

We move quickly from agreement to execution. Our team integrates with your workflows and communication tools from day one.
