How we work
An ownership model
built for pressure.
We run as an embedded senior unit. Self-sufficient, accountable, and deliberately low-overhead.
This is how we operate when you hire us.
§ 01
Six principles
we don't bend on.
-
Definition of done is live in production
Live. Running. Integrated. Monitored. Stable under real load.
Instead ofCode handed over.
-
Delivery risk sits with us
We carry the risk of the work slipping. If it goes sideways, it's on us.
Instead ofYour team hedging our timeline.
-
A self-sufficient senior unit
Our own standards, CI, observability, on-call rotation. We don't consume your platform team.
Instead ofA team you have to manage.
-
Minimal coordination overhead
One weekly demo. One async thread. Reducing your executive overhead is the product.
Instead ofMore meetings on your calendar.
-
We say no often
If we can't move the needle, we decline. Match matters more than scope.
Instead ofYes-men optimizing for billables.
-
Handover built in
Runbooks, tests, documentation. We assume your team will own it someday.
Instead ofLock-in as a business model.
§ 02
Low overhead is the product.
A typical engagement week. Two touchpoints with your team. That's the point.
- Mon Internal planning Internal
- Tue
- Wed Demo + decisions With you
- Thu
- Fri Written progress With you
§ 03
What risk actually transfers.
Most vendors talk about ownership. This is what ownership looks like on paper.
