Which situation are you in right now?
Right now you're in one of nine situations, and we're not a generalist agency. We solve specific, high-stakes engineering situations — each with its own playbook, timeline, and a free audit as the first step. Pick yours below. If none fit, the form at the bottom is for you.
Nine situations. Nine playbooks.
Each card is what our clients actually said when they first reached out. Click the one that sounds like your Tuesday.
"Our legacy system blocks every new feature"
Competitors ship every 2 weeks. Your team spends 70% of its time keeping the old code alive. Zero-downtime modernization is the way out.
Legacy Modernization → Emergency · Free code audit"Our agency disappeared with half the project"
Missed deadlines, incomplete features, no documentation, no handover. You've been burned once — maybe twice. Third failure isn't an option.
Project Rescue → Deal-critical · 3-day kickoff"Due diligence found technical debt"
Your Series B / acquisition timeline won't wait. Every unresolved red flag is leverage against your valuation. Walk in with the audit their team was going to run.
M&A Tech Readiness → Growth · Build-vs-buy math"We outgrew our SaaS tools"
That $200/seat platform looks cheap until 150 employees cost you $360K/year — for software that still doesn't fit your workflow.
Custom Web Platform → Growth · Honest audit"We outgrew Shopify. The workarounds became the system"
15 apps costing $50K+/year, checkout you can't touch, B2B pricing the platform calls "impossible." Most audits say optimize — some say replatform.
eCommerce Replatforming → Growth · One codebase"Customers keep asking for our app"
Your web platform works, but your users live on their phones — and your competitor just shipped theirs last month.
Mobile Development → Strategic · Compliance-first"The board wants AI. Legal said no to ChatGPT"
You handle PHI, financial records, or privileged data. Cloud LLMs are off the table. You need AI on your hardware, inside your firewall.
Sovereign AI Deployment → Infrastructure · Read-only audit"Our AWS bill doubled. Nobody can explain why"
Finance sees an invoice, engineering sees dashboards, nobody sees the whole picture — and the one person who understood it all just quit.
Cloud Cost & DevOps → Launch · Fixed scope"Paying customers are waiting. The product isn't built"
Validated idea, investors expecting a working MVP, competitor about to launch. Every week of delay is direct opportunity cost.
MVP Development →Why mid-market CEOs and CTOs pick us
We become the system expert
Our longest client relationship: 3+ years running their core platform, zero critical failures. We don't hand off and vanish — we own outcomes.
Senior engineers, LA timezone
No offshore coordination nightmares. No "PM as the sole link" bottleneck. You talk directly to the people writing the code — in your business hours.
Free audit, honest verdict — always
Every engagement starts with a free audit. You see the full picture and fixed pricing before committing to anything — including "you don't need us" when that's the truth.
Free System Audit — async, no meeting required
Before you commit to anything, get the full picture:
- ✅ Architecture map of your current system or situation
- ✅ Risk report: what breaks first, and what it costs you
- ✅ Phased, fixed-price roadmap — real numbers, no ranges-theater
- ✅ Yours to keep — even if we never work together
Most audits convert into a larger engagement — because the roadmap makes the decision obvious, not because of sales pressure.

Straight answers
How is this different from hiring an offshore team at half the price?
Offshore works for well-scoped, low-stakes projects. It fails on exactly the situations we handle: one in three projects fails on unclear requirements, more than half on cultural compatibility. When your system is mission-critical and your timeline is real, "cheapshoring" costs more than it saves — usually you end up on our /rescue page six months later.
What if I don't know which "situation" I'm in?
Fill the form and describe what's happening in plain words. Our architect reads every submission personally and replies with the diagnosis — including "you don't need us, here's what to do instead" when that's the honest answer.
What size companies do you work with?
Mid-market: roughly $1M–$500M revenue. Too complex for freelancers, not big enough for Accenture's minimum engagement. That gap is exactly where we live.
How fast can you actually start?
Free audit kickoff: within 5 business days. Our record from first contact to signed contract is under 7 days. We keep 2 project slots open per quarter specifically for emergency situations.
Do you do maintenance after the project ends?
That's the point. Our model is long-term Technical Partnership — maintenance, quarterly roadmaps, and advisory, month-to-month. Our longest client is 3+ years in. We build systems we're willing to live with.
