The process

Quote in minutes.
Ship in days.

The end-to-end engagement is five steps. We removed the friction that turns a two-day idea into a six-month agency cycle.

01 · Describe

Describe what you want built.

Pick a market, choose a service, write a scope, attach references. Our wizard auto-detects complexity drivers as you type — multi-tenant, payments, AI features, integrations — and surfaces them for confirmation.

What you get

  • Five-step wizard, five minutes to complete
  • Auto-suggested complexity drivers
  • Reference URLs + file attachments

02 · Quote

Receive a transparent, scope-driven quote.

Our quote engine prices the work from your actual scope — not a preset tier. You see line items, complexity drivers, reference fidelity, timeline modifier. The comparable Upwork freelancer rate is shown beside it.

What you get

  • Itemised quote breakdown
  • Side-by-side Upwork comparison
  • Confidence rating (low / medium / high)

03 · Pay

Approve and pay.

One-click Stripe checkout. Engagements over $5,000 ship in escrow until first deliverable approval. No retainers, no monthly minimums, no agency markup.

What you get

  • Stripe Checkout for deposits
  • Escrow on engagements over $5,000
  • Refund window before delivery starts

04 · Build

Watch your project build.

Specialised AI agents execute against your scope. Each practice has its own trained model, evaluation harness, and learning loop. Simple jobs land in under an hour; full applications hit a first-draft URL in 24 to 72 hours.

What you get

  • Live progress dashboard
  • Sub-1-hour delivery on simple jobs
  • 24–72-hour first draft on full applications

05 · Ship

Review, revise, ship.

Two structured revision rounds with a human reviewer. Final handoff includes source code, live deployment, complete documentation, and a runbook. Ownership transfers cleanly — no lock-in.

What you get

  • Two structured revision rounds
  • Source, deployment, docs, runbook
  • Clean ownership transfer

The learning loop

Every delivery teaches the next one.

Every project that ships writes a structured lesson back to the system: what worked, what didn't, where the agent over- or under-scoped, what the client pushed back on, what the price should have been.

Those lessons feed the next quote. The next delivery. The next revision. Sixteen practices, each running its own learning loop, each compounding on every engagement. Most agencies have no learning systems. We have one per practice plus one across all of them — a structural advantage no human firm can match.

Ready to start.
