Overview
Project-Based work has a start, a scope, and an end. You know what ships and roughly when — a feature built and shipped, a legacy system rebuilt, a migration finished, a product taken from an idea to something real users touch. No open-ended retainer, no ambiguity about when the engagement is "done."
When this fits
- You know what you want built and need a senior team to build it, not a discovery process.
- The work has a natural finish line — a launch, a migration cutover, a feature ship — rather than ongoing coverage.
- You want a fixed quote tied to milestones, not an open-ended hourly clock.
- You're building something zero to one and need the whole stack covered by one accountable team instead of stitching together specialists.
What you get
- A written scope and milestone plan before any code ships — you sign off on what "done" means.
- Senior engineers covering the full stack the project needs — systems design, infra, backend, frontend — under one team, not a chain of subcontractors.
- Milestone check-ins with working software at each one, not a status deck.
- A handover: docs, runbooks, and a walkthrough for whoever maintains it after we're gone.
What we won't do
- Start building before scope and milestones are written down and agreed.
- Quote low and pad it with change orders. The fixed quote is fixed.
- Hand off a project without documentation the next team can actually use.
- Take a project on if we don't think it can ship in the timeframe we're quoting.
How we work
- Scope. We turn what you want into a written spec with milestones — usually a week, sometimes two for bigger builds.
- Quote. A fixed quote against that scope, tied to the milestones, not a time-and-materials estimate.
- Build. Senior engineers ship against the plan, with regular check-ins on working software, not slides.
- Test. Every milestone ships with the tests and checks that prove it works, not just that it compiles.
- Handover. Docs, runbooks, and a walkthrough — the team that owns it after launch isn't guessing.
Fixed scope, fixed quote, tied to milestones — let's talk about what you're building.
