A short note about the problem, the systems involved, and the rough timeline is enough to get a useful first call. We respond within one business day.
We scope each engagement to the problem, not a price list. Tactical work typically runs a few weeks; full enterprise builds run months to over a year. We will give you a clear, honest indication on the first call, no cost, no commitment.
Both. For well-scoped tactical work we quote fixed price. For longer builds where requirements will evolve, we run time and materials with weekly forecasts and a clear stop-the-clock policy. We will tell you on the first call which model fits your project.
Remote-first by default, since that is how the work gets done fastest. We do on-site for kickoff workshops, integration go-live windows, and any session where having engineers and stakeholders in the same room is materially better than a call.
Yes. Send us your standard NDA and we will sign before the call. We have our own short mutual NDA if you prefer to use ours. POPIA-aligned data handling applies regardless.
Short. Two to four pages. Scope, deliverables, exclusions, timeline, price, payment milestones, and a clear definition of done. No filler. If you need detailed architecture before signing, we offer a paid discovery sprint that produces the design document and a precise build quote.
The engineer who scopes the work writes the code. For builds that need a second or third specialist, we bring in people from our network who we have worked with for years. You meet everyone on your project. No mystery subcontracting.
