Process

How an engagement runs.

  1. Discovery

    Two weeks, paid. We interview operators, map the current workflow, and produce wireframes plus a fixed-bid proposal. Most clients ship discovery as a standalone audit.

  2. Foundation sprint

    Sprint one sets up auth, the database, the deploy pipeline, and the first admin screen. You can demo something internal at the end of week four.

  3. Iteration sprints

    Two-week cycles. Each sprint opens with a planning call, ships a Loom demo on Friday, and ends with a staging deploy you can pressure-test before merging.

  4. Beta release

    Limited rollout to a controlled user group, with feature flags and structured feedback collection. Bugs and rough edges get fixed before general availability.

  5. Production launch

    Migration runbook, incident response plan, and a 60-day stability window where we sit on call for issues.

Stack

Tools we run with, by default.

  • Next.js 15
  • TypeScript
  • Postgres
  • Drizzle ORM
  • Supabase
  • Clerk
  • WorkOS
  • tRPC
  • Stripe
  • Inngest
  • Resend
  • Sentry
  • Axiom
  • Vercel
  • Hetzner

We will work in your existing stack when it fits. We swap tools only when the cost of staying is higher than the cost of moving.

Pricing

Transparent, itemized, no day rates.

Custom quote

fixed price, scoped to you

Every engagement is scoped against your spec. Every proposal is itemized: design, build, content, and integrations — so you can sanity-check the math before signing.

Timeline

Discovery in 2 weeks, first release in 10 to 14 weeks, beta to GA in 4 to 8 weeks

For mixed engagements (build + maintain), we bundle the proposal with a single price you can take to the board.

scoping to paying customers

B2B SaaS startup, Atlanta

Early-stage B2B SaaS team with a validated problem but no product. We ran a 6-week sprint from scoping through first release; 90 days later the team had 14 paying teams and had grown from $0 to $8K MRR.

Most clients run two or three of these together.

Stack thinking: paired engagements share one measurement layer, one accountability ledger, and one quarterly business review. That's where the compounding comes from.
