Questions

Answers, without the fluff.

Still have questions? Talk to us — we answer within a business day.

04common questions
01How long does a typical engagement take?
Most projects run 10-18 weeks from kickoff to production launch. We share a milestone plan in week one and update weekly.
02Do you sign an NDA?
Yes. Standard mutual NDA on request, before the first technical conversation.
03Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Code is in your GitHub org from day one. All IP transfers unambiguously on delivery.
04What does your pricing model look like?
For v1 builds: fixed scope, fixed milestones. For ongoing work: monthly retainer with a defined team. We don't do time-and-material surprise billing.
