How does pricing work?

Every build is scoped and priced upfront: fixed scope, fixed price, agreed in writing before work starts. The scoping call is where we map your situation to a number. We do not publish rates because two projects with the same name are rarely the same size.

How long does a project take?

Integrations and internal tools usually land in six to eight weeks. Platforms and products run longer and ship in milestones you can test as they land. Every scope includes a real timeline, not a range you have to decode.

Who actually does the work?

Daniyal scopes and leads every build and is on every call. Delivery is a small senior team working under that scope, so the person who understood your problem is the person accountable for the result.

What is the care plan?

Monitoring, fixes, and tuning after launch, with a monthly note on what changed. It is how a build stays worth keeping once the launch excitement is over. Every fixed-scope build includes one.

Do we need to know exactly what we want?

No. Bring the problem, not the solution. The scoping call exists so we can find out whether the thing you came in asking for is the thing you actually need, before a proposal goes out.

Can you work with the systems we already run?

Almost always. Most projects start with a CRM, an accounting system, a scheduling tool, and a shared inbox that were never introduced to each other. The work is connecting them and adding what is missing.

Services

Four practices. One standard.

Most engagements touch two of these. We scope the actual work, price it upfront, and keep it running after launch.

Web platforms and products

Some software has to carry the business: the portal customers log into, the platform staff live in all day, the product that is the company. We build these on boring, durable foundations, with the data model designed before the screens, so they keep working as the business changes.

Typical engagements

A customer or partner portal that replaces email, spreadsheets, and phone tag
An operations platform for scheduling, orders, or job tracking with roles and audit trails
A web product taken from prototype to something you can charge for

What you get

A working platform on infrastructure you own, with the code in your repository
Authentication, roles, and audit logging where money or records are involved
A documented data model and an admin surface your staff can actually use
A care plan so it keeps working after launch

A study platform where every claim carries its citation

Automation and integrations

Most operations run on three or four systems that were never introduced to each other, joined by inboxes and copy-paste. We connect them: intake from email, forms, and phone into the CRM; approvals routed to the right person; records exported where finance needs them. Quietly, on a schedule, with a log.

Typical engagements

Request intake from a shared inbox into a queue with assignment and exports
CRM, scheduling, and accounting systems synced through their APIs
A back-office process (quotes, onboarding, reporting) run end to end without manual steps

What you get

Integrations built on the vendor APIs, not screen scraping
A review queue for anything that needs a human decision
Event logs and alerts so failures are visible the day they happen
Runbooks for the people who operate it

Data and internal tools

When finance has one export, operations has another, and the weekly meeting is spent checking the spreadsheet, the problem is not reporting. It is that nobody reconciled the sources. We build the pipeline, the agreed mappings, the exceptions list, and the internal tool that lets a manager click from a total to the rows behind it.

Typical engagements

Reconciling two or more systems into one report with an exceptions queue
A pipeline that ingests exports and feeds a dashboard on a schedule
An internal tool for a workflow that has outgrown its spreadsheet

What you get

A data model with agreed mappings and freshness timestamps
Drill-through from every total to its source records
Scheduled ingestion with validation and failure alerts
Dashboards built for decisions, not decoration

Job-cost reporting and reconciliation

AI features and assistants

AI belongs in the parts of a workflow where reading, sorting, and drafting eat hours, and it belongs behind a review step wherever the answer costs money. We add it there: extracting fields from documents, triaging requests, answering routine questions, capturing and booking leads. The assistant on this site is one we built for ourselves and run in production.

Typical engagements

Document and email extraction feeding a review queue with the source beside every field
A lead response and booking system that captures, qualifies, and schedules inquiries around the clock
An internal assistant grounded in your own documents, with permissions and an audit trail

What you get

Evaluation on your real documents before anything reaches customers
Human review wherever a wrong answer has a cost
Permissions, logging, and rate limits from day one
Monitoring and tuning under the care plan

Lead intake, routing, and booking across branches

How engagements work

Two ways to work together.

Fixed-scope build with a care plan

Most work starts here. We scope it with you, price it upfront, build it in milestones, and hand it over with the code in your repository. The care plan keeps it monitored, patched, and tuned after launch, with a monthly note on what changed.

Fixed scope and fixed price, agreed before work starts
Milestones you can see and test as they land
You own the code and the accounts
Care plan for monitoring, fixes, and tuning after launch

Engineering partnership

For companies with a roadmap, not a single project. A fixed monthly capacity from the same team, planned quarter by quarter, so the next integration, report, or feature never waits for a new proposal.

Fixed monthly capacity, planned with you each quarter
One team across every system we have built for you
Priorities reset monthly, no new proposal per item
Includes the care plan for everything already live

In their words

What a client said.

“The branch managers couldn’t see which requests still needed a response, even though we were paying to generate those leads.”
