Services
From initial brief to production handover. We cover the full technical surface — web, mobile, data, cloud, APIs, and AI — with the same senior team on every engagement.
What we build
Production-grade web applications and multi-tenant SaaS products. We architect for the scale you're aiming at — not just the launch. Authentication, billing, feature flags, and monitoring included as standard, not add-ons.
iOS and Android apps built for real-world usage — offline-first architecture, smooth native performance, and proper app store delivery. Cross-platform where it makes sense; native where it matters.
Purpose-built APIs and third-party integrations that hold under load. We design for evolution — versioning, clear contracts, and monitoring from day one. Event-driven where latency matters.
Infrastructure as code, properly. Reproducible environments, automated deployments, cost-aware architecture, and security defaults that don't require a separate audit to confirm. We hand over the keys — not the confusion.
Pipelines that run reliably, models that document themselves, and warehouses that stay clean past month three. We build data infrastructure that analysts can actually use without engineering support on every query.
Practical AI built into products — not experiments left in notebooks. LLM integration with proper context management, retrieval-augmented generation for knowledge-intensive workflows, and fine-tuned models where general ones fall short.
Technology reference
Senior engineers choose tools on merit. These are the ones we use and know well — not a marketing list, but the actual technologies running in production on our projects.
Engagement models
Every engagement starts with a conversation. We'll tell you which model fits your project — and if something changes, we can shift models without starting over.
Turn a rough idea into a documented spec and estimate. We map requirements, select the right architecture, surface hidden risks, and produce the artefacts you need to make a confident build decision — or take to investors.
Fixed price. Two to three weeks. Delivered as a requirements document, architecture proposal, and effort estimate. Can proceed directly into a build engagement.
A scoped, fixed-price build — typically following a discovery sprint. We agree the scope, timeline, and price upfront. Change requests are handled transparently. You own everything we produce.
Fixed price on agreed scope. Delivered with documentation, 80%+ test coverage, CI/CD configured, and a handover session. Typical projects run eight to twenty weeks.
A dedicated senior team working inside your roadmap on a monthly retainer. No ramp-up friction, no re-explaining context. You get the same engineers sprint after sprint, with the UK lead in your standup if you want them there.
Monthly rolling commitment. Minimum three months. Capacity adjusts with your roadmap. Senior engineers only — no juniors billed at senior rates.
Common questions
Both. Fixed price works well for well-scoped projects where requirements are stable — usually following a discovery sprint. Time-and-materials suits evolving products where the roadmap shifts as you learn. We'll recommend what's right for your situation after an initial conversation, not after you've already committed to a structure.
Yes. Discovery sprints are designed exactly for this. We take a rough idea — or a conversation — and turn it into a documented specification, architecture proposal, and effort estimate. You'll know what you're building, what it will cost, and what the risks are before any build commitment is made. Most clients find it also surfaces assumptions they didn't know they had.
Full documentation, 80% or better test coverage, CI/CD configured and running, and a handover session with your team. We write code as if the next person inheriting it is a senior engineer who knows nothing about our reasoning — because that's usually accurate. You should be able to run the product, extend it, and hand it off internally without us in the room.
Yes. Embedded retainers start from £18k per month. We don't disappear after handover — many of our long-term relationships start as a build and move into an embedded model as the product matures. If you want us on the roadmap rather than on call, that's exactly what the retainer is for.
Next step
A 30-minute call is enough to know which service fits your project and which engagement model makes sense. No pitch, no deck — a straight answer from a senior engineer.
