Questions we hear on almost every first call.

It depends heavily on scope. A focused MVP build usually runs 8-14 weeks; a full enterprise platform replacement can run 6-12 months. We give you a specific estimate after the Discover stage, not before.

Both, and everything in between — the process just flexes. Startups often start with a fixed-scope MVP; enterprises more often start with a dedicated team and a phased roadmap.

You do, in full. Source code, documentation, and design assets transfer to you at project close under a standard IP assignment in every contract.

Yes — many engagements are hybrid, with our team embedded alongside yours rather than fully separate. We adapt to your existing tools and workflows rather than requiring you to adopt ours.

Most clients move into a Maintenance & Support agreement — monitoring, patching, and incremental improvements under an SLA. Others prefer a full internal handover, which we document thoroughly to support.

Security review is part of the Design and Test stages on every engagement, not an optional add-on. For regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government) we scope compliance requirements — HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR — from day one.

Yes, as a matter of course. We're glad to sign your standard NDA, or provide ours, before any detailed discussion of your systems or data.

Fixed-scope projects are quoted after Discover, based on defined deliverables. Dedicated-team engagements are billed on a monthly retainer per engineer. We'll walk you through both models on your first call.

Regularly. We start with a technical audit of the existing codebase before committing to a plan — sometimes that means continuing the existing architecture, sometimes it means a partial rebuild.

Yes, SLA-backed support plans include defined response times for critical incidents outside standard hours. Exact coverage windows are set per contract based on your operational needs.
