Three things, priced before we start.

Our own products run on the same stack we build for clients, so we know what it takes to keep software running after launch — not just to ship it.

01 FIXED PRICE

Custom software

The process that actually runs the business lives in spreadsheets, email threads and one person's head.

Web applications, internal systems and first releases for work that does not fit off-the-shelf software.

What this involves
  • Data model and workflow design
  • Application build — web, mobile-responsive
  • Authentication, roles and permissions
  • Integration with the systems you already run
  • Deployment, backups and monitoring
  • Runbook and handover documentation
02 FIXED-PRICE PILOT

Automation and integrations

Someone re-types the same data into a second system every morning, and the two disagree by Friday.

Connecting the systems you already run, and taking repetitive work off the people doing it by hand.

What this involves
  • Integration between the systems you already run
  • Scheduled and event-driven pipelines
  • Document and reporting workflows
  • Model-assisted steps with a written decision boundary
  • Run logs, retries and failure alerts
  • A pilot with agreed success criteria and a fixed price
03 DEFINED SCOPE

Product implementation

The software is bought and installed, and six weeks later half the team is still working the old way.

Setup, configuration, migration and training for the products we build and operate ourselves.

What this involves
  • Installation, hosting and environment setup
  • Configuration to your process and vocabulary
  • Data migration from what you run today
  • Role and permission mapping
  • Team training and written procedures
  • Product customisation where you need it

How we price

Builds are scoped as a fixed amount against a written specification, so the number does not move once we start. Work after launch runs time-and-materials. Automation starts as a fixed-price pilot with success criteria agreed before we begin — if the criteria are not met, you have spent a known amount and you keep the evaluation.

Every engagement is quoted individually once the scope is written down. Tell us roughly what you have in mind and the budget you are working with, and we will say early whether it fits.

What we do not sell

  • Custom software. Not a brochure website, not a template configured to look bespoke, and not a discovery phase that ends in a proposal instead of software.
  • Automation and integrations. Not an open-ended retainer, and not a chatbot bolted onto an unchanged process. We state in writing what the model decides and what it never decides.
  • Product implementation. Not general IT support, and not implementation of someone else's software. This covers products we build and operate.
  • Across all of it. No advice by the hour, no audits, no fractional CTO time, and no brochure websites.

How the work runs

  1. 01 WEEK 0

    Scoping

    A call, then a written specification: what gets built, what does not, what it costs and when it lands. You own the document either way.

  2. 02 WEEK 1

    First running version

    A URL you can open, with real data in it. Every week after that adds to the same URL — you watch it become the thing, rather than reading about it.

  3. 03 BUILD

    Weekly checkpoints

    One short written update a week: what shipped, what changed, what is next, what is blocked. No status meetings unless you want them.

  4. 04 HANDOVER

    Launch and runbook

    Deployment, backups and monitoring in place, plus a written runbook covering how to operate it and how to hand it to someone else. Including us.

Tell us what is broken and what you want instead. If it is not a fit, we will say so.

We use what you send here to reply to you. We do not sell or share it, and there is no mailing list attached to this form.
