5

Maintenance & Support

A post-launch support window with the same engineers who built it.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before You Hire.

The questions we hear most from teams hiring a custom software development team. Don't see yours? Ask us directly on the right.

A focused internal tool typically runs $20,000–$50,000, while a full enterprise platform with multiple integrations can run $150,000+. We scope against your actual requirements after a discovery call.

A focused MVP typically takes 8-12 weeks. A full enterprise platform with multiple integrations usually runs 20-30 weeks.

Senior engineers who stay accountable through delivery and support, a clear architecture rationale, and real client references — not just a portfolio of logos.

We work in two-week sprints specifically so scope changes are absorbed at a sprint boundary, not treated as a change-order crisis.

Our teams work from our London and Austin, Texas offices and serve Illinois clients remotely with full Central-time overlap.

Yes — we're happy to sign an NDA before any detailed discussion of your business logic or systems.
