One embedded pod, and the depth behind it.
Each one starts with the problem it solves, then what the work actually is, then what an engagement looks like.
Forward Deployed Pod
- The problem
- You have a critical thing to ship in production — deploying your AI/product into real customers, a hard integration, a migration, a launch — and you can't hire an engineering team fast enough.
- What we do
- Embed a senior pod inside your stack and team; deploy, integrate, and ship in production, month over month; then hand back clean systems your people own.
- Engagement
- Monthly, per pod (a lead + 1–2 engineers), typically 4–12 weeks.
Deployment Sprint
- The problem
- You want to see the team ship before committing to a pod.
- What we do
- Take one scoped deliverable and ship it in production, fast — the low-risk way to try us that expands into a pod.
- Engagement
- Fixed scope, fixed fee, 2–4 weeks.
Technical Due Diligence & Architecture Review
- The problem
- You're about to invest in, acquire, or bet on a codebase — and you need the truth about it.
- What we do
- A rigorous, security-minded read of the code, architecture, infrastructure, and team practices — with a clear risk report and what it'll cost to fix.
- Engagement
- Fixed-scope, fast turnaround.
Fractional-CTO-level direction
- The problem
- You need senior technical judgment on the roadmap and architecture, not another pair of hands.
- What we do
- Set direction, install delivery discipline (code-review gates, traceability, staging-first releases), and guide the pod — the CTO-level layer behind the delivery.
- Engagement
- Retainer alongside a pod, or standalone advisory.
Also — the depth behind the pod
Brought in as the work needs it, not sold as separate line items:
- Cloud & platform
- AWS + Azure, IaC, CI/CD on OIDC, cost right-sizing.
- E-commerce & retail tech
- Shopify theme + headless, ERP/inventory, mobile, payments.
- Data & analytics
- Trustworthy pipelines, fixed attribution, SEO.
