Engagement models
Four ways to work with us.
Which one fits depends on how well-defined the work is and whether you already have a team.
-
Fixed-scope Project
A defined outcome, an agreed price and a delivery date.
<p>Suited to work where the requirements can be pinned down in advance. We scope thoroughly before quoting, and changes are handled through an explicit variation process rather than absorbed quietly.</p>
Best when
- Well-defined scope
- Fixed budget approval
- A firm launch date
Includes
- Detailed scope document
- Fixed price and timeline
- Defined change process
- Post-launch warranty period
-
Dedicated Team
A team working continuously on your product.
<p>Suited to products that evolve, where the roadmap is expected to change based on what users do. You get consistent people who build up domain knowledge rather than a rotating cast.</p>
Best when
- Evolving product roadmap
- Ongoing development
- Priorities that shift
Includes
- Named team members
- Monthly billing
- Direct access to engineers
- Regular delivery reviews
-
Staff Augmentation
Specific expertise added to your existing team.
<p>Suited to teams that need a particular capability for a period without hiring permanently. Our engineers work inside your process and tooling.</p>
Best when
- An existing in-house team
- A specific skill gap
- Temporary capacity needs
Includes
- Engineers with the required specialism
- Work within your process
- Flexible duration
- Knowledge transfer on exit
-
Maintenance & Support
Keeping a live system healthy, secure and current.
<p>Suited to systems already in production, whether or not we built them. Covers monitoring, dependency updates, security patching and a defined response commitment for incidents.</p>
Best when
- Systems already live
- No in-house maintenance capacity
- Compliance obligations
Includes
- Monitoring and alerting
- Security patching
- Dependency updates
- Agreed incident response times
What does it cost?
It depends entirely on scope, and any number published without knowing your requirements would be meaningless. Tell us what you need and we will give you a real figure with the assumptions written down.
Not sure which model fits?
Describe the situation and we will recommend one — including if it is the cheapest option.
