How we work

Pods & Sprints.
7 days to production.

We don't do discovery phases, retainers, or open-ended timelines. Every engagement is a fixed 7-day sprint run by a dedicated pod - scoped, priced, and shipped before you second-guess it.

This is not a methodology we invented. It is the result of shipping over 170 production features and learning exactly what makes software delivery fail.

The team

What is a pod?

A pod is a small, focused engineering team assembled for your sprint. No account managers, no project coordinators - just engineers who build and a sprint lead who keeps things moving.

Lead Engineer

Owns architecture, code quality, and delivery. Senior level - minimum 5 years with the relevant stack.

AI Specialist

Handles LLM integration, fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, and agentic systems. Embedded on AI-heavy sprints.

QA & DevOps

Writes tests, manages CI/CD, handles infra provisioning. Every sprint ships with passing test coverage.

Sprint Lead

Your single point of contact. Manages scope, unblocks the pod, and runs the daily update. Not an account manager - an engineer.

The process

How a sprint runs

0160 min

Scope call

We run a structured session to define exactly what gets built. Output: a written scope document, a fixed price, and a start date. No ambiguity, no surprises.

02Day 1

Sprint kickoff

Your pod is assigned. We set up a shared Slack channel, a live sprint board, and agree on the daily async standup format. Development begins the same day.

03Days 2-“6

Build & iterate

The pod builds. You get daily updates in Slack. You can see commits, tests, and deployments in real time. No black box - you always know where we are.

04Day 7

Ship to production

We deploy to your production environment. You get a walkthrough, documentation, and full code ownership transfer. The sprint closes when it is live - not when it is 'done'.

The guarantee

What we commit to

7-day delivery or full refund

If we miss the sprint deadline for any reason within our control, you pay nothing. We have never triggered this clause.

Fixed price, fixed scope

We will never bill you beyond the agreed amount. Scope changes go into the next sprint - not onto your invoice.

Production, not prototype

We close every sprint with a live deployment. No handoff of 'almost ready' code. If it is not deployed, the sprint is not done.

You own everything

All code, models, pipelines, and infrastructure configs are transferred to you at sprint close. No licensing, no lock-in.

A pod is a small, fixed team of senior AI-native engineers assigned to your engagement. Every pod is led by a Forward Deployed Engineer — a senior technical lead who is personally accountable for delivery. Pod size varies by sprint scope, but the structure is always the same: one lead, senior specialists, no juniors.
