Three ways to engage us, all under contract.
Every engagement runs on written scope, milestone acceptance, and formal IP transfer. capped at four active engagements per quarter, so a confirmed start date is capacity that has already been reserved for you.
Fixed-Scope Delivery
A defined outcome delivered against a signed statement of work: fixed deliverables, milestone schedule, acceptance criteria, and change-control terms.
- Best for
- A discrete build, integration, or platform migration with a known end state.
- Commercial model
- Fixed fee, invoiced against milestone acceptance
- Governance
- Named delivery lead, weekly demo and written delivery note
Dedicated Capacity
Reserved senior engineering capacity working to your roadmap in sprint cycles, with scope agreed sprint by sprint rather than fixed upfront.
- Best for
- Continuous product development where priorities move faster than a fixed SOW allows.
- Commercial model
- Monthly capacity fee, minimum three-month term
- Governance
- Sprint planning, demo, and retrospective on a fixed cadence
Managed Support & Advisory
Ongoing ownership of a live system: defect resolution, patching, monitoring, and periodic advisory on architecture and roadmap decisions.
- Best for
- Live systems that need guaranteed continuity without a permanent in-house team.
- Commercial model
- Tiered monthly agreement, 30-day notice
- Governance
- Contracted response targets by severity, monthly service report
How an engagement is put in place
Four steps from first conversation to signed statement of work. We work under your paper where your legal function requires it.
Mutual NDA
Signed before any technical detail is exchanged. Ours or yours — we sign your paper where legal requires it.
Scoping engagement
A structured technical discovery producing a written scope, architecture direction, risk register, and cost band.
MSA and statement of work
Commercial terms, IP assignment, confidentiality, and liability agreed once in a master agreement; each project runs as a SOW beneath it.
Delivery and acceptance
Sprint-based delivery with milestone acceptance, then a documented handover of code, credentials, and infrastructure.
Commitments we make on every engagement
These are operating commitments, not certifications. Where your organisation requires a security schedule or supplier assessment, we complete it as part of contracting.
Confidentiality
Mutual NDA before technical discovery. Client material is never used as a public reference without written approval.
Least-privilege access
We request the narrowest access needed, scoped per environment, revocable by you at any time, and removed at handover.
Credential handling
Secrets are held in managed secret stores, never in source control, tickets, or chat. Production credentials remain in accounts you own.
Code and IP ownership
All work product and IP transfer to you on payment. Repositories, documentation, and pipelines are delivered under your organisation.
Change control
Reviewed pull requests, protected main branches, and versioned releases so every production change is attributable and reversible.
Continuity
Automated backups with tested restores, documented runbooks, and a handover pack written so another team could take over.
