Why teams pick us
You are likely here because...
-
-
The 2am Problem
The system's live, it matters, and nobody's formally responsible when it misbehaves. You need someone on the hook.
-
The Next-Stage Strain
The systems and habits that got you here will not support the next stage. You need senior judgment without a full-time executive hire.
-
Senior Direction
Clear ownership of roadmap, architecture, suppliers, and technical priorities from day one.
-
No Full-Time Hire
The level of technical leadership you need, matched to the time and scope the business actually requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Finding the Right Fit
What are retained hours and do they roll over?
Retained hours are pre-allocated delivery capacity — usable for bugs, features, minor enhancements, or advisory. They're allocated fresh each month and do not roll over to the next.
What counts against retained hours?
Delivery work — bug fixes, features, enhancements, and ad-hoc requests — counts against your monthly hours, tracked and reported. Your scheduled advisory calls don't; those are part of the plan, not the hour pool.
What's the minimum commitment?
All tiers operate on a 3-month minimum. The first month is invoiced upfront at signing. Months 2 and 3 are invoiced monthly on the same calendar date.
What happens when we exceed our retained hours?
Overage hours are billed at your tier rate — $150/hr on Foundation, $135/hr on Growth, $125/hr on Partner — and invoiced at the end of the billing month in which they were incurred.
How are SLAs defined and guaranteed?
Response SLAs are guaranteed regardless of your retained hour balance. P1 (system down) is responded to within 1–4 business hours depending on tier. Resolution time depends on available retained hours or approved overage billing.
Can I upgrade my tier?
Yes. Tier upgrades can be arranged at the start of any new billing month. Your account will be reassessed at onboarding to confirm the right starting tier for your platform's needs.
How do we get started?
Book a discovery call. We will ask about the challenge you are facing, not which service page you landed on. If there is a fit, we will propose a scoped first step — usually a diagnostic — within a week. If there is not, we will say so and point you somewhere better placed to help.

-
Technology Strategy
Not sure what to build yet — or whether to build at all? We diagnose first, then hand you a roadmap: what to build, what to buy, what to skip.
-
Software Design and Build
You have the idea. You need it built. Discovery through launch, one team — design and engineering together.
-
AI Integration
Where AI actually fits in your business, built private on our own models — not as a bolt-on demo.
