The system you've beenhand-running, automated.
Automation and full-stack systems, scoped in a free written spec, built in a fixed window, and handed off with the source and the keys. No retainer trap, no agency theater, no lock-in.
What this is
A build, not a relationship you can't leave.
You bring an operation you've been running by hand: the spreadsheet that's really a database, the inbox that's really a pipeline, the process that only works because you're awake for it. We scope it, build it, and hand it back as something that runs on its own.
Everything starts with a free written spec: scope, stack, the risks, and the kill criteria. You read it before any call and before you owe us a thing. If the spec is wrong for you, you keep it and we part as friends, no obligation either way.
How it works
A spec before a sales call.
No pitch deck, no discovery retainer. A real written document first, then a fixed build, then the keys.
- 01
Diagnose
You tell us the operation you're trying to ship, or stop doing by hand. We send back a free, written spec: scope, stack, risks and kill criteria. No call required to get it.
- 02
Build
A fixed build window, usually about two weeks. Senior hands on the code and the system, with no juniors learning on your budget. Fixed price quoted in the spec: no scope-creep invoices, no standups to sit in.
- 03
Hand off
Source, documentation and the keys. It runs without us. Want us to keep running it? That's a separate, honest conversation, never a default and never a lock-in.
The standard
A written spec. A fixed window. Real ownership.
Real builds, with NDA names abstracted and the engineering described exactly. No fabricated logos, no agency theater.
See the work →What you get
No retainer trap. No lock-in. No surprises.
Real ownership
Source code, docs and keys are handed over. You can run it, change it, or hire anyone else to, entirely without us.
A fixed price
Quoted in the spec before the build starts. No hourly meter, no scope-creep invoices, no surprise line items.
A spec before any call
A real written document first: scope, stack, risks, kill criteria. You decide on paper, not on a sales call.
No agency theater
Senior operators, not a pod of account managers. No discovery retainer, no pitch deck, no standups to attend.
