What We Actually Hear
Most of our clients don't come to us looking for software. They come because something isn't working and they need it fixed. Here's what we hear most.
"We've outgrown our spreadsheets"
Your team runs on Excel workbooks, shared drives, and manual tracking. Data gets entered twice, version conflicts happen weekly, and producing the reports leadership wants takes days of manual work.
"Our software is broken and the team who built it is gone"
A previous developer left. An offshore team stopped responding. You have software that sort of works but nobody fully understands, there's no documentation, and security is a question mark. We've inherited 20+ systems like this.
"I'm the only one who knows how everything works"
You built a successful business, but the processes live in your head, your office manager's spreadsheets, and a dozen tools that don't talk to each other. Growth means hiring, but you can't hand off what isn't documented or systemized. We turn tribal knowledge into working software your team can actually run without you.
Who This Is For
Typically businesses doing $5M–$50M in revenue. Most have outgrown spreadsheets or off-the-shelf tools and are stuck maintaining software they didn't build. These problems show up in every industry. Here's where we've solved them most.
Healthcare
Patient records platforms, clinical workflow automation, claims processing. HIPAA compliance built in from day one.
Manufacturing
Production tracking, quality control, work order management. Replace the spreadsheets your floor runs on.
Financial Services
Loan origination, investor portals, fund reporting. Built for the complexity private lenders and investment firms actually deal with.
Legal
Case management, document workflows, billing integration. Systems that work the way your firm actually operates.
Real Estate
Property data aggregation, GIS mapping, portfolio management. From county records to investor dashboards.
Home Services
Scheduling, dispatch, job tracking, mobile access. Software built for teams that work in the field, not behind a desk.
We Start Where Others Left Off
A lot of our work starts with someone else's mess. Offshore builds with no documentation. Internal projects the original developer left behind.
We assess what you have, tell you honestly whether it's worth saving, and either stabilize it or replace it. If your current system is a liability, we'll turn it into an asset or build you something better.
Most of our client relationships start here.
When we take over an inherited system, we start with a security and architecture assessment. Within two weeks, you'll have a documented inventory of what's there, what's broken, what's a security risk, and what it'll take to fix it. That assessment is yours whether you hire us or not.
Rebuild It, or Take It Over?
Most agencies quote you a rewrite because a rewrite is easier to sell. Here's what the two paths actually look like.
| Rebuild from scratch with another agency | We take over what you have | |
|---|---|---|
| What happens first | Discovery, then a proposal to rebuild it all | A $7,500 System Assessment. Documented inventory in two weeks. |
| When you see the first working change | Months. Nothing ships until the rebuild does. | Week two. Bug fixes and quick wins start while we assess. |
| Your current system meanwhile | Runs unsupported until the replacement lands | Stabilized, documented, and patched first |
| If the estimate was wrong | Change order | We absorb the difference |
| If you walk away mid-project | You paid for a half-built replacement | You keep the assessment, the plan, and a working system |
Sometimes a rebuild really is the right answer. The assessment tells you which one you're looking at, in writing, before you spend the money. See how the assessment works →
Why Work With Us
Our founder has spent 20+ years building software for businesses that can't afford to get it wrong. Here's how we work.
Your code from day one
You get access to your repositories, documentation, and deployment configs the day we start. GitHub, GitLab, or your own server. If you ever want to walk away, you take everything with you. No transition fees. No negotiation.
Estimates are commitments
We quote credits before work starts. If we're wrong, we eat the difference. If the result doesn't match the documented acceptance criteria, we fix it at no cost. You never pay more than what was quoted.
US-based team with a dedicated PM
Your project manager knows your systems and your priorities. Same timezone. Direct communication. One person who's accountable for everything that ships.
We inherit broken systems
If you're stuck with software you didn't build, can't fully access, or can barely maintain, that's where a lot of our work starts. We'll assess what you have and give you an honest answer about whether to fix it or replace it.

How This Is Delivered
Three ways to work with us. Most clients start with one and shift as their needs change.
Fixed-Scope Build
Right when you know what needs to exist and you want the price locked before anyone starts.
We scope it, quote it, and the number doesn't move. If we underestimate, we absorb the difference.
Starts with a $7,500 System Assessment
Ongoing Partnership
Right when the work keeps coming and you need a team that already knows your systems.
A dedicated team without the overhead of hiring. Bug fixes, feature work, security patching, and system maintenance on a predictable monthly schedule.
Ongoing engagements start at $5,700/mo
Embedded Advisory
Right when the decisions are the bottleneck, not the code.
Strategic technology leadership, vendor oversight, and a prioritized action plan from the same team that can build it when you're ready.
Fractional technology leadership starts at $8,000/mo
Frequently Asked Questions
We work with companies in manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, legal, and technology — typically businesses doing $5M–$50M in revenue. Most have outgrown spreadsheets or off-the-shelf tools and are stuck maintaining software they didn't build.
We use delivery credits — a pricing model based on completed work, not hours. Every task gets sized by complexity before it starts, and the quoted price is what you pay. If we underestimate, we absorb the difference. Unused credits roll over one month. 30 days notice to cancel, no penalties. For plan details and pricing, see our delivery credits page.
We're not locked into one stack. On the backend: Java, Grails/Groovy, Python, PHP, C#/.NET, Ruby on Rails, Laravel, Rust, and Node.js. On the frontend: React and Angular. For mobile: Flutter, Swift, and Kotlin. We also use PowerShell for automation, work with AWS, Azure, Docker, and PostgreSQL for infrastructure, and build on Odoo. We pick the stack that fits your project, not the other way around.
Start with a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll look at your current setup, talk through your priorities, and tell you what we'd recommend — even if the answer isn't us. Book a discovery call here.
Week one, we learn your systems, business rules, and immediate priorities. Week two, first deliveries start shipping: bug fixes, quick wins, anything on your list. By weeks three and four, larger tasks are scoped and in progress and the weekly rhythm is established. You'll see your first monthly delivery summary at the end of month one.
