Most engagements begin scoping within a week of first contact. Scoping itself typically takes one to two weeks depending on complexity, after which we can give you a firm timeline and team plan before any contract is signed.

Yes. We regularly work as an embedded extension of an internal engineering team, joining existing sprints, tooling, and code review, as well as owning a build fully from scratch. We scope this with you up front.

Depending on scope, we work either fixed-price against a defined spec or on a dedicated-team monthly rate for longer, evolving engagements. We'll recommend whichever model fits your project after scoping, and walk through the trade-offs of each.

You do. Our standard agreements assign full IP ownership of custom-built code, models, and designs to the client on delivery (or on payment milestones for longer engagements). NDAs are standard practice and typically signed before any technical discussion begins.

In most cases, yes. Across our four departments we cover the common stacks for web, mobile, cloud, ML, embedded firmware, and autonomy tooling. If a project calls for something outside our usual set, we'll say so directly during scoping rather than after the fact.

Yes, this is core to our Autonomous Vehicles department. We run SILS (software-in-the-loop) and HILS (hardware-in-the-loop) validation before anything reaches flight or drive testing, and can set this up as part of your project's validation stage.

We offer ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and support agreements after launch. Many clients keep a small retained team in place for iteration, incident response, and feature work once the initial system is live.

Absolutely. We deliver products for clients across multiple continents and time zones, and our workflow is built around distributed, remote-first collaboration: async updates, documented decisions, and recorded reviews.
