$5,000-$10,000/mo retainer. Three-month minimum.

Studio Engagement

You need something built. Not a feature. A full product. A branded platform, a customer-facing application, an ordering system, a booking tool, a piece of software your business runs on. We become your engineering team and build it from scratch.

We work in your tools, follow your roadmap, and ship real software on your timeline. You own the code, the infrastructure, and everything in between. No licensing fees, no platform dependencies, no lock-in. Three-month minimum so the work has room to compound.

Deliverables

What's Included

  • Full product design and engineering from zero to shipped
  • Custom software built for your exact operation and customers
  • Client-facing applications, back-end systems, and everything in between
  • Hands-on implementation across the full stack
  • Direct collaboration with your team throughout the build
Engagement Model

How It Works

01

Embed

We come into your team and your tools. Your sprints, your tickets, your standups. We learn the product and the people before writing a line of code.

02

Architect and Ship

AI architecture, infrastructure, vendor decisions, and the code to back them. Designer or PM brings the product direction. We bring the senior engineering brain.

03

Compound

Three-month minimum so the work compounds. By month two we know the codebase. By month three we're shipping faster than a new hire would in their first year.

Real Example

What This Looks Like in Practice

Embedded as lead AI architect on a real-estate platform launching in 2026. Solo engineering across product, infrastructure, and AI integration while the founder handles design and go-to-market.

Differentiators

Not the Usual Contractor

Senior Brain, No Hire

You get a senior AI architect on your team without the salary, equity, recruiter, or onboarding ramp.

Strategy and Code

Architects who can ship and engineers who can think strategically. Both, in one person, on your team.

Real Team Member

We work in your tools, follow your process, and show up in your meetings. Not a vendor checking in twice a week.

Three-Month Minimum

Long enough to learn the product, build trust, and ship work that compounds. Short enough to evaluate the fit.

Fit Check

Who This Is For

  • Businesses that need a complete software product, not just a feature
  • Founders with a vision who need an engineering team to build it
  • Companies ready to own their software rather than subscribe to someone else's
  • Anyone who has been told 'we can build that' by an agency and received something generic
