HOW WE WORK

Want results like these? Here's how.

Every case study above started with a Discovery Sprint. It's how we scope precisely, price honestly, and de-risk delivery before a single line of production code is written.

01 — Fixed scope2 wks

Discovery Sprint

Fixed price · Fixed timeline

We pressure-test your idea, define the architecture, and give you a fixed price before you commit to a full build.

  • Technical feasibility review
  • Architecture diagrams
  • Stack recommendations
  • Delivery roadmap + fixed quote

02 — DeliveryMost chosen

End-to-End MVP

8–24 wks · Milestone-based

Fixed-price product delivery with dedicated ownership — two-week sprints, Friday demos, milestone-gated launch.

  • Everything in Sprint, plus:
  • Design + engineering squad
  • Production deployment
  • 90 days post-launch support

FAQ

Questions about our work.

Yes — we're happy to go deeper on any case study during a discovery call. We can share architecture diagrams, technical decisions, and lessons learned. Some details remain under NDA, but we can share what's relevant to your project.
Yes. We maintain dedicated AI and blockchain practice teams so neither discipline gets deprioritized. Most of our engineers are cross-trained, and senior leadership has deep experience in both.
We've built several systems that combine both — AI-powered trading bots, on-chain data pipelines, LLM-based compliance tools. Our integrated team means you don't need two agencies.
Projects like these typically start at $50K for scoped MVP delivery. Discovery sprints that precede them start at $15K. We turn down projects that aren't mutually interesting — quality over volume.
For select engagements and qualified prospects, yes. We can facilitate a reference call. This requires an NDA and happens during the proposal stage, not before.
Discovery sprint is 2 weeks. MVP delivery runs 8–24 weeks depending on scope. We give a fixed timeline and price after discovery — no open-ended projects.
