Pilot Sprint.
Two weeks. A real backlog item shipped to production. Validate the dedicated development team before committing to 3 months.
How the pilot runs.
Discovery to deployed code in 14 days.
Days 1-2: Discovery and scoping
We pick a real backlog item with you. A bug fix sprint, an API integration, a feature prototype, a refactor. Something that ships value.
Days 3-4: Squad onboarding
2 to 3 senior engineers picked for your stack. Slack access, repo access, codebase walkthrough.
Days 5-12: Execution
Daily standups, active development, code review, regular progress updates. You see how we work in real time.
Days 13-14: Ship and retro
We deploy, run QA, hand over docs, and run a retro. You decide if you want a full squad engagement.
What's included.
Everything you'd get in a full engagement, compressed into 2 weeks.
Pilot pricing.
Fixed fee scoped before kickoff. Same pricing logic as the squad model. If you continue with a full engagement, the pilot fee is credited toward your first month.
Why we offer this.
Hiring an engineering team is a real commitment. We'd rather show you how we work than tell you. If the pilot doesn't go well, you walk away with a working deliverable and no long-term contract.
