Maintenance & support
Monthly retainers covering dependency updates, security patching, uptime monitoring, and a named engineer who already knows your codebase.
Services
Everything we build, and exactly what you get.
Three core services. Each one is scoped in writing, priced before it starts, and handed over with the source code and documentation you need to run it without us.
01 · Typically 4 – 12 weeks
Custom Software & Web Applications
Most of our work starts here. You have a process that lives in spreadsheets, a product idea that needs to exist, or an internal tool that everyone complains about. We turn it into software your team actually wants to open.
We build with a boring, proven stack on purpose: TypeScript, React, Node, Postgres, and a cloud you already pay for. No exotic dependencies you will be stuck maintaining after we hand over the keys.
What you receive
- Discovery workshop and written technical scope
- Interface design system and clickable prototype
- Full-stack application with authentication and role-based access
- REST or GraphQL API with documented endpoints
- Automated test suite and CI/CD pipeline
- Deployment to your cloud account, plus handover documentation

Mobile Application Development
We ship apps that get through App Store and Play review the first time. That means real attention to the parts teams usually discover too late: permissions copy, offline behaviour, push notification consent, account deletion flows, and store listing requirements.
For most products we use React Native or Flutter so one codebase serves both platforms. When a product genuinely needs native performance — heavy graphics, deep hardware access, background processing — we build it in Swift or Kotlin and say so up front.
What you receive
- Platform strategy: cross-platform vs. native, argued in writing
- Native-feeling interface design for iOS and Android
- Offline-first data layer and sync
- Push notifications, deep links, and in-app purchases
- App Store and Google Play submission, including store assets
- Crash reporting, analytics, and over-the-air update pipeline

AI & Automation Integration
AI is only useful when it is attached to your data and your workflow. We build retrieval systems over your own documents, assistants that can safely call your internal APIs, and automations that remove the copy-paste work between the tools your team already uses.
We are candid about what these systems can and cannot do. Every engagement includes evaluation criteria agreed in advance, guardrails against unsafe output, and a cost model so you know what inference will run you at your real volume — before it is in production.
What you receive
- Use-case assessment with a go / no-go recommendation
- Retrieval-augmented generation over your own knowledge base
- Assistants and agents with scoped, audited tool access
- Workflow automation across your existing SaaS tools
- Evaluation harness, guardrails, and human-review checkpoints
- Inference cost modelling and monitoring dashboards

Supporting work
Available on their own, or folded into a build.
Systems & API integration
Connecting CRMs, payment processors, ERPs, and legacy systems that were never designed to talk to each other.
Technical audits & consulting
Independent review of an existing codebase, architecture, or vendor proposal — delivered as a written report with prioritised findings.
Boundaries
What we don't do.
Being clear about this saves everybody a discovery call.
Work we decline
- Pure design or branding engagements with no build attached
- Paid advertising, SEO retainers, or content marketing
- Staff augmentation where we have no say in the architecture
- Projects priced by undercutting rather than by scope
- Anything covered by our Acceptable Use Policy
What we say up front
- If an off-the-shelf tool solves your problem, we will name it
- If your budget does not match your scope, we will say so in the first call
- If an AI feature will not work reliably enough to ship, we will not build it
- If we are not the right studio for the job, we will tell you why
Not sure which service you need?
Describe the problem rather than the solution. We will tell you what it would take to solve it — including if the answer is that you do not need custom software at all.
