How do you handle disagreements on direction?

We share our technical and product perspective clearly and with evidence. The final decision is always yours.

What happens if you miss a deadline?

We have a 94% on-time delivery rate. When delays occur, we notify immediately — never at the deadline.

How involved do we need to be?

We need a named product owner who can answer questions and make decisions within 24 hours. Beyond that, as involved as you choose.

Do you use fixed-price or time-and-materials?

Fixed-price for well-defined projects where scope is clear. Time-and-materials for evolving products where requirements will change.

What is included in the 3-month post-launch support?

Bug fixes, security patch deployment, performance monitoring, and up to 10 hours of minor enhancements per month.
