Custom software and AI automation for businesses outgrowing spreadsheets.

We replace fragile spreadsheets, manual handoffs, and disconnected tools with custom dashboards, API integrations, workflow automation, and practical AI. First software milestones typically land around $2k–$20k depending on scope—narrow triage fast, ship a small first slice, expand once we are inside the workflow. Every scoped milestone includes our Scope-Lock Satisfaction Guarantee.

Workflow triage

Diagnose one workflow. Get a bounded recommendation.

Twenty minutes on a call is earned only after these answers. Custom workflow projects commonly start around $2k–$20k with first milestones most often landing in that band depending on scope.

Scope-Lock Satisfaction Guarantee

Scope-Lock Satisfaction Guarantee: if the milestone does not match what we scoped, we keep working free until it does—or refund it if we miss after you hold up your end.

Target one bottleneck only—nothing about documenting your entire roadmap. Typical next step after we align is about 20 minutes on one workflow to confirm pain, budget comfort, and whether a small first milestone is justified.

The workflow bottleneck

Budget, timing, decision power

Focused workflow projects often kick off around $2k–$10k, with most first milestones settling between $2k–$20k depending on scope. Smaller fixes can exist, but we prioritize work where the business impact is obvious.

Optional context

Universal reply policy: courteous follow-up either way—we triage asynchronously so you skip sales karaoke.

Engagement Standard ~30 days Focused scope: as fast as 2 weeks

How we engage

Most engagements ship in about 30 days. Focused, well-scoped work can land in as fast as 2 weeks. Here is what either path looks like.

Enterprise payments & payment-processor experience
Government cybersecurity background
Senior, vetted engineers — no juniors, no offshoring
  • Day 0

    Onboarding

    We send a short onboarding intake to gather system access, point-of-contact info, and your top three desired outcomes, then book a free working session — not a sales call.

  • Days 1–7

    Discovery & scope

    Fast-track · Days 1–3

    A senior engineer pairs with your team to map the real workflow, name the constraints, and lock the scope. You get a written plan with milestones, risks, and a fixed-or-not-to-exceed budget before we touch a keyboard.

  • Days 8–14

    Architecture & build setup

    Fast-track · Days 4–7

    We stand up the repo, environments, CI, and the core data and security model — the same hardened patterns we used in payments and government cybersecurity work, scaled to your project's risk profile.

  • Days 15–25

    Build & review

    Fast-track · Days 8–11

    Short iteration loops with weekly working demos. You see real software in your environment every week, with code review, tests, and observability built in from the first commit — not bolted on later.

  • Days 26–30

    Launch & handoff

    Fast-track · Days 12–14

    Final hardening, runbook, monitoring, and a structured handoff so your team owns the system on day one. We stay on call for the post-launch window and only step back when the system is quietly running itself.
