It depends on scope, but our standard engagements break down like this:

  • Sprint (1 week) — scoped prototype or research spike. Ideal for de-risking a technical decision.
  • Build (4 weeks) — production implementation with tests, observability, and handoff docs.
  • Partner (ongoing) — roadmap co-ownership, SLOs, on-call, and team enablement.

Most clients start with a Sprint to establish trust and shared context before committing to a Build.
