Services

We pick the smallest engagement that solves your problem and leaves your team better off.

01

Partner & Strategy

Architecture, technical decisions, and AI strategy from senior practitioners — a thinking partner, fractional CTO when that's what you need.

We help you decide what to build, what to skip, and what tech to bet on. AI-first lens applied throughout — where it pays off, and where it doesn't.

Less code on the page; more clarity for the months that follow.

Outcomes
  • Clear technical direction your team can act on
  • AI integration plan with cost ceiling, evals, and fallbacks
  • Architecture docs your team owns after we're done
02

Build & Embed

We build software end-to-end, or embed inside your team. Either way, we ship and we hand it back clean.

Full-stack feature or product delivery owned end-to-end by senior engineers — or we embed in your team for sprints or months, working as part of your eng org.

We pick the lightest stack that works. We write tests where they save time. We don't disappear after launch.

Outcomes
  • Production software shipped in weeks, not quarters
  • Tested, documented, ready for your team to own
  • Senior people on your project every day — no juniors learning on your dime
03

AI Integration

Claude-based features wired into your product — designed around real customer pain, not the model.

We design AI features that solve a specific problem your users actually have, with cost ceilings and evals baked in from day one.

Not a demo. Not a prototype. Production AI with fallbacks, observability, and a plan for when a model is down.

Outcomes
  • AI feature live in 4–8 weeks
  • Per-feature cost ceiling + evals defined upfront
  • Graceful degradation when a model is unavailable
