— 04 How we work

Short engagements. Clear deliverables. Real code.

01

Technical discovery

A 30-minute call. You describe what's in flight; we push back on scope and ask the boring-but-important questions.

02

Written proposal

One page. Goals, deliverables, weekly cadence, fixed price or T&M, clear exit criteria.

03

Embedded delivery

We show up in your repo and your standups. Code, design docs, ADRs, non-functional tests — the unglamorous parts.

04

Handoff & review

Written handoff doc, recorded walkthrough, follow-up window. Your team owns it after.
