This is different: it's a system, not a promise
We built this to work consistently, not just when everything goes right. Our approach doesn't rely on perfect planning or ideal conditions - it's designed to handle reality.
- • Fixed prices before we start
- • Planning Credits taken off your invoice
- • Escaped Defect 60 Day Warranty
- • JDI's included for the slice or plan small changes during development
Figure - Flat Rate Dev vs. Hourly Model
Red line: actual spend on a real feature. Grey cone: hourly conventional approach.
Note: we try never to work XXL tickets.

Our Four Guiding Principles
- ✓Make it work, make it better
- ✓Work with the client, not for the client
- ✓Lower concurrency, better results
- ✓Own the outcomes, not the code
Is This You?
- ✓Product owners with an active backlog
- ✓Teams with real deadlines, but not enough bandwidth
- ✓Decision-makers who want scoped, reliable delivery
- ✓Organizations with off roadmap opportunity — but no appetite for chaos
Exponential Pricing
▶ Pricing designed to fail fast and fail forward
▶ Smaller is cheaper - solutions ship faster
How it works. Why it works.
The pricing is honest
View your backlog in dollars
- • Easy to understand, flat rate pricing
- • Rates assigned before you commit
- • Built in special approvals for XL, XXL tickets
- • Clear itemized invoices, referencing tickets
- • No surprises during development phases
The planning isn't waste
Planning is essential to success, that's why it's included in the price
- • Planning is the only thing we bill hourly
- • We plan with you, not for you
- • If it doesn't grow to your “Great Plan”
- • Credits taken off your ticket cost if used within 60 days
You'll be able to adapt
Just Do It's (JDI's)
Because you can't plan for everything
- • Tiny changes, big impact
- • JDI's included increases with ticket size
- • Designed to capture all the little things that are hard to predict
