Every engagement — Project or Team Retainer — runs through the same five stages, produces the same kind of signed record, and ends with you owning what was built.
For a defined build — a new product, a proof of concept (POC) or Minimal Viable Product (MVP), a migration, a rebuild. We scope the work through Define & Design, price it against that signed blueprint, and deliver to it. The price doesn't move once the blueprint is signed as long as the scope doesn't change.
For continuous product work — a dedicated team running the same five-stage methodology engagement after engagement. Scope flexes from one cycle to the next; the traceability and sign-off gates don't.
Under both models, all produced code belongs to you. The repository, the deployed infrastructure, and the signed engagement record are yours — whether that delivery closes out a single Project or a cycle of a Team Retainer.
You're in control of the environment, the hosting, and the deployment. We can deploy to your cloud account, or we can set up a new account for you. You can choose to host in AWS, Azure, GCP, or any other provider that meets your security requirements.

Before anything is priced or scheduled, we capture the requirement in full — the same, fixed price, Define stage every engagement starts with. For a Project, this is what the full project price is built against.
Design, Develop, Determine, Deliver — the same four stages follow, whether this is a one-off Project or the first cycle of a Team Retainer.
