The Jumpstart

A fixed-price engagement for teams that need custom software shipped end-to-end — rapid prototypes in as little as 72 hours, usable software in thin, iterative slices.

What it is

We design, build, and ship your software, end-to-end, to your spec. We use an AI Bench to deliver in days what used to take quarters. We train your engineers to operate and extend it. We hand them the Bench when we go. We are available for a tune-up when you need one, and not otherwise.

How it runs

• Days 1–2 — Iron out the deliverables. Sharp problem definition. What is in. What is out. What is a phase two.
• Day 3 or thereabouts — Rapid prototype demonstration. Working software in your hands — often within 72 hours, scope permitting. Feedback session.
• Day 4 onward — Iterate in thin slices. Each slice ships usable software, not a half-built draft. Cadence is daily, not weekly. More prototypes, more feedback, more product.
• Parallel training (optional) — While slices are still shipping, we begin training your engineers on the Bench. They grow comfortable with it while we are still at the table. Closeout becomes the next step in a collaboration, not a raw handoff.
• Closeout — When the build is complete and your team is confident. Engagement ends. The Bench stays with you.
• Ninety-day check-in — One follow-up. Questions answered. Rough edges sanded.

Past engagements have run from two weeks to several months, depending on scope.

Sprints become a thing of the past when your team delivers a full sprint in an afternoon.

What you bring

We are software engineers, not designers. If you have a design system — Figma, style guides, brand assets, component libraries, mockups — we will build to it. If you do not, we will build to a clean functional baseline in your team's preferred framework (React, Vue, or whatever you run) so the engagement keeps moving. Visual polish can come later, and the team we leave behind will have the skills to make it happen.

What we ship

Every deliverable carries the following, without exception:

• 100% senior code review. Every line, read and signed off by a senior engineer. No AI output ships unreviewed.
• Unit test coverage at or near 100%. The Bench writes tests as it writes code. We verify.
• Security audit. Brute-force tested, dependencies scanned, secrets reviewed, static analysis clean.
• Plagiarism scan. Every file checked against open-source corpora to confirm clean provenance. No AI reproduction of copyrighted code.
• License audit. Every dependency verified. No GPL contamination, no copyleft surprises.
• Full documentation. API contracts, deployment runbook, operational notes, decision log.
• Production deployment. Observability, logging, error handling, monitoring — wired up before we leave.
• Reproducible build. The Bench that produced your software is committed alongside it. Run it again, get the same result.
• Team performance KPIs. Velocity, cycle time, deployment frequency, code quality — instrumented continuously, per agent and per engineer. For the first time, engineering productivity is observable like physical work. See a sample dashboard →

What you keep

Unlike our competition, we give you everything. The working software, the AI Bench that built it, the documentation, the training, the recordings. No license terms, no vendor lock. Your engineers can extend it, fork it, or throw it out — the choice is theirs now.

We build great software. We also tool the bots to fit your business. These are two separate, fully custom deliverables — and both are yours when we leave.

What it costs

Engagements start around $25,000 and are priced by deliverable, not by the hour or the week. Past engagements have shipped in as little as two weeks; larger builds have run several months. Fixed-fee. No change orders. No surprise invoices.

Once your team is running the Bench we deliver, this is the math they typically see. An industry-standard medium ticket — five story points — runs about $750 in engineer labor. The same ticket on a tuned Bench costs about $4.50 in compute, plus your engineer's time orchestrating and reviewing.

Per-ticket cost drops by an order of magnitude — for as long as you keep the Bench running.

We do not publish a rate card. Scope, integration, urgency, and what we are being asked to take responsibility for all bend the number. We quote a single fixed price after the discovery conversation.

What we don't sell

A retainer. A maintenance contract. A rate card. Seats in a portal. Access to a dashboard. The relationship pauses when the work is done.

After we leave

Past clients receive a monthly note with tips on operating and enhancing their Bench. Opt out anytime. Reply with anything — the same engineer who built your Bench reads it and answers. Not a no-reply newsletter.
