Including a few where the honest answer loses us the work. We would rather you found that out here than three weeks into a project.
It is a real trade-off and worth naming. A two-person studio cannot absorb five projects at once, and if we are full we will tell you when we are free rather than stretching thin across your work and someone else's.
What you get in exchange is that nobody is managing the person who is managing the person doing the work. The person who scopes your project writes it, and the person you call when something breaks is the one who shipped it.
If your project genuinely needs a team of ten in parallel, we are the wrong choice and we will say so on the first call.
We work remote-first and have done since before it was fashionable. What matters is overlap, not geography.
Our hours are 10:00–19:00 PKT. That is a near-complete overlap with the Gulf, roughly four hours with the UK, and effectively none with US Eastern unless we arrange it — which we do, by agreement, rather than pretending otherwise.
All work is in English. Urdu too, if that is easier for you.
Yes, and we will sign yours rather than insisting on ours.
We also do not publish client names or logos by default. If you would like to be a reference later, that is a conversation we have after the work is done, not a condition of it.
Usually in one of two places. Either the work needs a speciality your team does not use daily — an AI layer, a data pipeline, an awkward integration — or your team is at capacity and the roadmap item keeps slipping.
In both cases we work inside your conventions and your repository rather than delivering a black box over the wall. Your team reviews our pull requests, not the other way round.
It depends on scope, and any studio quoting you a number before understanding the work is guessing.
What we can promise is that you get a written scope with a fixed price before you commit the majority of the budget — not an hourly estimate that drifts. The scoping conversation itself is free.
If the honest answer is that the problem is not worth the money, we will tell you. That costs us a project and saves you one.
We prefer it. The second stage of every engagement is a working prototype of the riskiest part, precisely so you can judge us on something real before committing further.
A first engagement scoped at one clear deliverable is a better test of whether we work well together than any pitch deck.
You keep everything produced up to that point — code, designs, documentation, credentials. There is no clause that makes leaving expensive, and nothing is hosted on accounts you do not control.
A studio that needs contractual lock-in to keep clients is telling you something about the work.
You find out in days rather than months, because measuring it is the second stage of the process and not the last.
We build an evaluation set from your real data — including the awkward cases — and score against it before anything reaches production. If it cannot hit a threshold that makes the project worth doing, we tell you then, while very little has been spent.
Everything we ship also has a confidence gate: below the threshold, the case stops and waits for a person rather than being written and quietly being wrong.
You do, on delivery. It lives in your repository, deployed to your accounts, with your credentials.
We do not retain a licence, and we do not host anything on infrastructure you cannot access.
No. Where you already have a stack, we work in it.
Where you do not, we default to TypeScript and Next.js on the front, Node or Python behind, Postgres or MongoDB for data — chosen because they are boring, well-documented and easy to hire for, which matters more than novelty when we hand it over.
Documentation and a walkthrough with whoever will maintain it, in that order. The goal is that your team can change the thing without calling us.
If you would rather we kept running it, a retainer covers monitoring, support and continued improvement — but that should be a choice, not a dependency we engineered.
Anything that does not do what the scope said it would, we fix, and that does not come out of a support budget.
New requirements are new work. We will always tell you which of the two we think it is before doing it.
If the question you actually want to ask is not here, send it. A direct question gets a direct answer, and we would rather have that conversation before you commit anything.
