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 are applied to your invoice
- • 60-Day Escaped Defect Warranty
- • JDIs are included for each slice, so small changes can be handled during development.
Figure - Flat Rate Dev vs. Hourly Model
Red line: actual spend on a real feature. Gray 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 opportunities, 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 and XXL tickets
- • Clear, itemized invoices that reference 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 become part of your “Great Plan,” you're not locked in
- • Credits are applied to ticket costs when used within 60 days
You'll be able to adapt
Just Do Its (JDIs)
Because you can't plan for everything
- • Tiny changes, big impact
- • Included JDIs increase with ticket size
- • Designed to capture all the little things that are hard to predict
