14# Custom software, built faster, and billed that way.

16Production AI still runs on production software. We build and modernize the systems AI has to live inside, with our own agent tooling doing the repetitive parts. A flat monthly fee means a shorter build is fewer months on your invoice.

29The problem
30 
31## Custom software is quoted from headcount and months. When scaffolding, migrations, and first-pass review are billed at senior rates, you pay for typing instead of judgment.
32 
33- Quotes priced by headcount and months, not outcomes
34- Senior rates charged for boilerplate and glue code
35- A change order every time scope moves
36- AI-generated code nobody on the team will own
37 
38How we work
39 
40## Four steps. One team the whole way.
41 
421. 01
43### Scope against the real system
44Map what has to be built, what exists, and what can be generated. The estimate comes from that, not a headcount spreadsheet.
452. 02
46### Agent-assisted build
47Our tooling handles scaffolding, migrations, test coverage, and first-pass review. Engineers spend their hours on judgment.
483. 03
49### Senior review on every merge
50Nothing lands without the engineer who will maintain it. Generated code is reviewed like any other code, or it doesn’t ship.
514. 04
52### A handover you can leave with
53Your repo, your stack, your documentation. Nothing depends on our tooling once we’re gone.
54 
55What’s included
56 
57## What AI-enabled custom development covers. In practice.
58 
59- ### Agent-assisted scaffolding
60Structure, boilerplate, and glue code generated and reviewed, so engineers start on the hard parts.
61- ### Automated test coverage
62Tests written alongside the code, so coverage isn’t what slips when the deadline moves.
63- ### First-pass code review
64Tooling catches the obvious first, so human review goes to design and correctness.
65- ### Migration & modernization
66The mechanical half of moving a legacy codebase handled at machine speed: renames, API shifts, framework upgrades.
67- ### Flat-fee engagements
68A dedicated squad at a flat monthly rate. No time-and-materials invoices, no change orders.
69- ### Clean handover
70Documentation, runbooks, and a repo your team can pick up without learning our tools.
71 
72What you can hold us to
73 
74## Commitments. Not marketing ranges.
75 
76What the engagement commits to, not measured outcomes.
