The three models
3 commercial shapes.
Each model has its own SOW template, governance cadence, and pricing structure. Each detail page includes a comparison matrix — the matrix on this page is the same one, consolidated for the hub view.
- 01Quarterly
Dedicated Teams
a.k.a. Staff / team augmentation
Senior engineers embedded into your stack on multi-quarter rotations. Your tools, your ceremonies, our bench.
- Best for
- Long-term capability gaps · embedded squads · scale-up phases
- Pricing
- Time & materials
- 02Per SOW
Project-Based Delivery
SOW-driven engagements with fixed scope, fixed price, and fixed timeline. Clear acceptance criteria, change-order discipline.
- Best for
- Bounded initiatives · MVPs · modernization phases
- Pricing
- Fixed-price · milestone-based
- 03Continuous
Managed Services
Ongoing operations with named SLAs, escalation tiers, and on-call coverage. We run what we built — or what you built.
- Best for
- Production support · SRE · AI ops · platform stewardship
- Pricing
- Monthly retainer
How to choose
Three questions, three answers.
Most buyers can self-route from the questions below. If your situation falls between two models, that’s normal — many engagements start as one and convert to another. We’ll talk through the boundary on the first call.
- 01
Bounded outcome with predictable cost?
Project-Based.
Fixed scope, fixed price, named milestones. Best when you can scope the work clearly and want a written commitment to outcome and cost. Discovery + ADR is fixed-price too.
Open the model - 02
Need senior capacity faster than hiring delivers?
Dedicated Teams.
Senior engineers (G6+) embedded into your stack on multi-quarter rotations. Time & materials, quarterly cadence. The bench you'd hire if hiring weren't six months.
Open the model - 03
Need on-call you can rely on without growing the org?
Managed Services.
24×7 follow-the-sun, named SLAs, monthly retainer. We run what we built — or what you built — under a published service contract.

Operating principles
Four rules across every model.
Whether you engage as Project, Dedicated, or Managed — the floor is the same.
- 01
Brackets published, not hidden quotes
Day rates, milestone ranges, and retainer tiers are published per model. Visitors self-qualify before the first call; budget conversations on the call are calibration, not surprise.
- 02
Senior-only floor across every model
G6+ on every billable hour, every model. We don't dilute Dedicated Teams with juniors to keep margins; we don't farm Project-Based scoping to a junior team. The bench in the proposal is the bench in production.
- 03
Department backing included
Every engagement carries department-lead co-pilot at no additional charge — 30 minutes weekly with the practice lead, plus on-demand pulls for hard architecture or compliance calls.
- 04
Engagement-fit honesty
If the right answer is a different model — or a different firm — we say so. We turn down ~30% of inbound and routinely recommend Project-Based when buyers come asking about retainers (or vice versa) when scope warrants it.
