How quickly can you start?

Diagnostics can usually begin within two to three weeks. Build teams depend on the shape of the squad — we will give you a real date, not an optimistic one.

Do you work with early-stage companies?

Yes, where the technical problem is genuinely hard. We are a poor fit for straightforward staff augmentation at any stage.

Will you sign our NDA and security requirements?

Yes. We routinely work under client paper, and we can supply our control documentation, insurance certificates and vendor questionnaires on request.

What if we are not sure what we need?

That is the normal case and the best reason to start with a diagnostic. Arriving with a well-formed brief is not a prerequisite.

Tell us what you are trying to decide.

You do not need a finished brief. The most useful first message is the constraint you keep running into — the thing that has stalled the decision.

01
We reply within one business day
A practitioner reads your message, not a coordinator. If the answer is a short email rather than a meeting, you will get the short email.
02
A 45-minute working call
Not a pitch. We use it to understand the constraint, the deadline and the internal politics — and to work out whether we are genuinely the right firm.
03
A written proposal
Scope, team shape, price, assumptions and the conditions under which we would recommend stopping. Usually within a week of the call.
