Stop Buying Hours. Start Buying Results.
Delivery credits are units of completed work, priced by complexity. You assign tasks, we build and ship. At the end of each month, you see exactly what was delivered and what it cost. No timesheets. No guessing.
Why Delivery Credits?
Hourly billing has a weird incentive problem. The slower the work goes, the more you pay. Credits work the other way around.
When you buy completed tasks instead of hours on a timesheet, we have every reason to work efficiently. We use AI and better tooling to deliver faster. You get the benefit of that speed instead of subsidizing it.
- Predictable monthly spend with no surprise invoices
- Cost based on complexity, not clock time
- AI and better tooling make delivery faster without cutting quality
- Monthly summaries show every task, credits used, credits remaining
Already Have a System That Isn't Working?
We regularly inherit codebases from other teams and vendors. 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.
First step: we assess what you have and give you an honest answer about whether to fix it or replace it. Sometimes the right call is to start over. Sometimes it's not. We'll tell you which.
Your code is yours. Always.
Repositories, documentation, deployment configs. You get access from day one. No negotiation. No hostage situation.
What's Behind Every Credit
A delivery credit isn't a developer typing for an hour. It's the full operation that turns your business problem into working software.
Project Management
Your project manager translates business needs into scoped technical tasks. You say what you need in plain language. We handle the rest.
Architecture Decisions
20+ years of experience behind every technical decision. Which approach scales, which shortcut creates debt, which integration will break in six months. AI writes code fast. Humans decide what to build and why.
AI-Accelerated Development
AI handles code generation, routine fixes, and repetitive work. Your developers review, refine, and test every output before it ships.
QA and Testing
Every delivery is tested before you see it. Edge cases, error handling, production readiness. Built into the process, not bolted on after.
Monitoring
Error tracking and system monitoring catch problems before your users do. Your team sees issues in real time and responds without waiting for a support ticket.
Continuity
Shared context, documentation, and project history across the team. Work doesn't stop because one person is unavailable.
The Credit Scale
| Credits | Scope | What This Looks Like |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Quick fix | Config change, minor text or UI update, small bug with a known cause |
| 2 | Small task | Standard bug fix, adding a field, small feature tweak, report filter |
| 3 | Moderate work | A few moving parts, may touch two systems, requires some investigation |
| 5 | Meaningful feature | Multi-step build, API integration, or workflow change. Examples: automated certification expiry alerts, a weekly operations summary email, or connecting two internal tools |
| 8 | Large feature | New module, significant system change, planning and testing across components |
| 13 | Major build | Full feature set, architectural change, or system-level overhaul |
If a task is bigger than 13 credits, we break it into smaller pieces that ship independently. You get progress along the way instead of waiting weeks for one big delivery.
Monthly Plans
Quarterly commitment. Auto-renews unless either side gives 30 days notice. Unused credits roll over one month.
Sustain
30 credits / month
$5,700 / mo
For businesses running on spreadsheets, workarounds, or tools that aren't keeping up. We stabilize what you have and build toward what you need. Bug fixes, minor improvements, and gradual progress every month.
Build
60 credits / month
$11,400 / mo
Maintenance plus real feature development every month. Room to ship meaningful work alongside keeping things running.
Scale
90 credits / month
$17,100 / mo
Dedicated capacity for larger builds and strategic work. For clients actively growing their product or platform.
Try a One-Month Pilot
Not ready for a quarterly commitment? Start with a single month on the Sustain plan at the standard rate. Thirty credits, full access to the team, same process as ongoing clients. If it works, roll into a quarterly plan. If not, you walk away with working software and zero obligations.
If you're inheriting a broken system and want clarity before committing to ongoing work, we also do paid codebase assessments. We'll review your code, document what we find, and give you an honest recommendation on whether to fix it, rebuild it, or leave it alone.
Every Plan Includes
Dedicated project manager
Project management tooling and task tracking
Direct access to your development team
Monthly delivery summary
Same-rate overages (no surprise markups)
Full code ownership, always
30 days notice to cancel. No penalties. If it's not working, we'd rather know.
One mid-level developer costs $120-170k/year fully loaded. The Build plan at $136,800/year gets you a PM, a dev team, QA, monitoring, and AI-accelerated delivery.
Security and Data Handling
Our entire team is US-based. We don't subcontract work offshore or hand your code to anonymous third parties.
NDAs are executed before every engagement. Your business logic, user data, and proprietary processes stay confidential.
AI tools we use for development don't process or store your client data. Code generation happens on isolated prompts. Your production databases are never exposed to third-party AI services.
All code and data stay in controlled environments: private repositories, encrypted connections, access-limited infrastructure.
For healthcare clients and other regulated industries, we're willing to sign BAAs and work within your compliance requirements.
How We Keep It Honest
1. We eat the cost if we underestimate.
We scoped a reporting feature at 5 credits. Halfway through, a database migration added complexity. Final effort was 8 credits. Client paid 5. The risk of underestimating is on us.
2. No markup on overages.
Need more credits mid-month? Same per-credit rate. We don't charge a premium when you're busy.
3. Meetings and communication are free.
Credits only get used when software ships. Emails, calls, Slack, project coordination, meetings with your PM are all included.
4. Bugs in our work get fixed at no cost.
Every task gets documented acceptance criteria before work starts. If the result doesn't match what was agreed, we fix it. No debate.
What Our Clients Ship
Manufacturing / Operations
A mid-size manufacturer was running production tracking on spreadsheets shared over email. We built a system that replaced the spreadsheets with real-time dashboards, automated quality checks, and gave floor managers visibility into production status without calling the office. They went from weekly batch reporting to live data in under two months.
Inherited Software
A growing company inherited a web app from an offshore vendor who disappeared. No documentation, no tests, deployment process held together with manual scripts. We stabilized the system, wrote tests around the critical paths, rebuilt the deployment pipeline, and started shipping features again within the first month. The client got control of their own product back.
Regulated Industry
A financial services firm was running client workflows on a legacy platform that couldn't keep up with new compliance requirements. We modernized the system in phases, keeping the existing platform running while building its replacement. Compliance reporting that used to take days now runs automatically. No downtime during the transition.
Developer-Led, AI-Accelerated
A senior engineer is responsible for what ships. Every line of code, whether written by a developer or generated by AI, goes through the same review process.
AI handles boilerplate, routine fixes, and repetitive work. Your developers direct it, review it, and test it. The architecture decisions are human. The security decisions are human. If something ships with a bug, a real person is accountable.
Think of AI as the power tool. Your developer is the carpenter. The power tool makes things faster. It doesn't decide where to put the walls.
What the First 30 Days Look Like
Week 1
We learn your systems, business rules, and immediate priorities. Your PM gets embedded in how your business works.
Week 2
First deliveries start shipping. Bug fixes, quick wins, and anything that's been sitting on your list.
Weeks 3-4
Larger tasks are scoped and in progress. The weekly rhythm is established. You'll see your first monthly delivery summary at the end of month one.
Early on, some tasks take longer as the team learns your system. Efficiency increases quickly as that knowledge builds.
A Sample Month on the Sustain Plan
Here's what a typical month looks like on the Sustain plan:
| 3 bug fixes | 4 credits |
| 1 automated notification system | 5 credits |
| 1 integration with existing tool | 8 credits |
| 2 UI improvements | 4 credits |
| 1 report automation | 5 credits |
| Total | 26 credits used, 4 rolled over |
Your monthly delivery summary breaks it down just like this. Every task, every credit, nothing hidden.
