What we can help with
Most projects start with one of these. If yours doesn’t fit, tell us anyway.
- Build something newA first version that’s ready for real users, with a plan for what comes next.
- Fix a product that’s breakingIt was built fast, maybe vibe-coded, and now it has real users. We make it reliable without starting over.
- Get ready to growBefore a launch, a funding round or a big customer, so the product holds up when it matters.
- Modernise an older systemStep by step, without stopping the business.
We also give second opinions on plans and architecture.

Start with a Health Check

Questions
What does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote after the first call. Projects are a fixed bid or time and materials, whichever fits. The Health Check is a fixed fee.
Is the code written by AI?
Coding agents write most of it. An engineer decides what to build and is responsible for the result.
How soon can you start?
Usually within a week or two of agreeing the proposal.
Which time zones do you work with?
We’re based in Bengaluru, India, and work with clients in the US, UK, Europe and Australia.
I’m not technical. Is that a problem?
No. We explain the trade-offs in plain language, and the weekly update is written for you, not for engineers.
What if you’re not the right fit?
We’ll say so on the first call, and point you somewhere better if we can.
