Engagement

Two engagement models. Clear scope. Predictable delivery.

We work as a technical partner for boutique agencies. Choose ongoing support via retainer, or a fixed-scope architecture project to reduce delivery risk before implementation scales.

Engagement models

Both models prioritize constraints, interfaces, and incremental delivery. The difference is cadence and ownership over time.

Primary

Retainer technical partner

Ongoing support across architecture and implementation. Best when complexity evolves and your team needs a stable senior technical presence.

Good fit when

  • You are shipping continuously or across multiple workstreams.
  • Requirements evolve as the product matures.
  • You need architecture plus hands-on execution.
  • You want consistent technical leadership.

Typical outputs

  • Architecture decisions and decision log
  • Implementation slices (PRs) and technical reviews
  • System boundaries and interface contracts
  • Operational discipline (observability and performance budgets)

Secondary

Fixed-scope architecture project

A time-boxed engagement focused on system design, constraints, and a plan your team can execute.

Good fit when

  • You are starting a platform or major rebuild.
  • Delivery risk is high and needs early reduction.
  • You need a roadmap and technical plan.
  • Your team will implement after handoff.

Typical outputs

  • Architecture document and diagrams
  • Risks, constraints, and trade-off analysis
  • Module and data contract definitions
  • Implementation plan with milestones

How we work

Operational clarity, small steps, measurable outputs.

  1. Step 1

    Initial brief

    Short description of the product, constraints, and timeline.

  2. Step 2

    Alignment call

    Confirm fit, define scope boundaries, and agree on delivery cadence.

  3. Step 3

    Constraints and interfaces

    Document key constraints and define critical interfaces early.

  4. Step 4

    Incremental delivery

    Ship working slices with visible progress and controlled change.

We prefer high-signal collaborations. If we cannot commit cleanly or there is a conflict of interest, we decline.

What we need from you

Inputs

  • Product goal and target users
  • Known constraints (latency, scale, compliance, timelines)
  • Existing stack and team composition
  • Current pain points and failure modes

Working environment

  • Access to repositories and environments (as needed)
  • Single decision-maker for scope and priorities
  • Clear communication channel
  • Agreement on deliverables and acceptance criteria
