Who's building Senior US engineers, AI-superpowered, embedded in your workflow Offshore juniors you've never met
Speed AI-superpowered — what takes a traditional team 4 weeks takes ours 4 days Ramp-up, standups, timezone delays, rework — then maybe something ships
Visibility Live view of what's done, what's in progress, and what's blocked — updated automatically, not when someone remembers to log it You find out something's stalled when the deadline passes
Cost predictability Scoped upfront, priced by story point, no surprises Hourly estimates drift. Agency change orders. Offshore rework. Budgets blow.
Skin in the game We ship or we don't get paid They bill regardless

$99 per Story Point: Our AI-powered system behind predictable  pricing

Story points replace hours as the basis for pricing. Each task is evaluated for complexity and effort using a standardized, AI-powered approach, so estimates are consistent and your costs remain predictable and tied to completed deliverables.

Simple + minimal effort
  • Update error message text in a user authentication flow
  • Add a new field to an existing API response that's already available in the database
