For founders who don’t want a vendor — they want the studio embedded for a quarter. Productized tiers exist for the work that fits a checkbox. This is for the work that doesn’t.
For one-shot work, see the productized tiers.
A signed scope document before week one — architecture diagrams, data model, API contracts, the rollback plan for every shipped surface. No “we’ll figure it out as we go.”
The person on every call is the person typing every commit. No offshore handoff, no swap-in resource inheriting the runway.
CI/CD gates, typed APIs, idempotent webhooks, additive migrations, RLS where it belongs, the 30-second rollback rule on every change. The same standards Sage Ideas runs on its own production fintech.
A Monday changelog with what shipped, what’s shipping, what’s blocked. No status calls that should have been emails.
After build, the first 90 days of production are covered — monitoring, on-call coverage, incident response, the runbooks, the documentation handoff. We don’t ship and disappear.
You own the code. You own the infrastructure. You receive a documented handoff package that survives without us on the next call.
System design, data model, API contracts, rollback plan, scope sign-off. No code shipped yet — on purpose.
Production code behind feature flags. Daily commits, weekly changelog, fortnightly architecture reviews with you in the room.
Hardening, runbooks, monitoring, documentation. By week 12 the studio could disappear and the system would keep running.
Continue as a fractional CTO retainer, scope the next quarter, or hand off to your team — your choice, agreed in advance.
You send a one-page brief. What you’re building, what “done” looks like, what is non-negotiable.
Forty-five minutes. Honest read on whether this is the right engagement — even if the answer is no.
Within five business days you receive a fixed scope, fixed timeline, and a custom quote. Either it’s a yes or it’s not.
Contract signed, kickoff scheduled, week 1 begins on the agreed date. No drift between sign-off and start.
One brief. Forty-eight-hour reply. The studio takes engagements that fit and turns down the ones that don’t. Both outcomes are fine.
