Engagement models

Three ways in.
You own everything we build.

An audit puts one or two forward-deployed engineers alongside the people who run your key processes. Builds and retainers run with a strike team of two or three. Start with an audit, or come in with a spec and go straight to the build.

The three models

Scope, price,
and what you keep.

Model 01

Audit

You want a clear map before you commit to a build.

Length: 2 weeks, one or two FDEs
Price: Fixed fee, waived if it leads to a build
You get: An assessment of your business processes and a recommendation on next steps
At the end: Findings you own, whether or not you continue

In production · DRiskify An audit, then a fixed-fee build with first deployment in four weeks Read the engagement

Model 02

Fixed-fee build

The scope is bounded and the deadline is real.

Length: About 12 weeks, milestone-based: architecture by week 2, first deployment by week 4
Price: Fixed fee per SOW
You get: A production system, tests, SBOM, runbooks
At the end: Code and infrastructure you own, with a clean handoff

In production · Cadence 13 weeks to MVP with Mass General Brigham and Harvard University Read the engagement

Model 03

Continuous-delivery retainer

The platform is the product.

Length: Monthly, six-month minimum
Price: Monthly fee per strike team
You get: Production deploys every three-week cycle
At the end: Scale up, scale down, or hand off

In production · Manatee Twelve legacy services consolidated into one AI-native clinical operating system Read the engagement

Pricing is scoped on the first call, and every dollar of it is engineering.
