§ 05 · Questions
We estimate after discovery, not before. Discovery is a small fixed-price phase that turns ideas into a scope we can price with confidence, and you own its outputs even if you build elsewhere.
They usually do, and that is fine. In a dedicated squad we reprioritise every sprint. In a fixed-scope phase we price the change and you decide whether to swap, add or postpone.
Expect one person from your side to spend two to four hours a week with us: sprint reviews, quick answers in chat and decisions when they are needed.
You do. Code, designs and documentation belong to you as soon as they are paid for, and everything lives in your accounts from the start.
Yes, before the first detailed conversation if you like. We can use your template or our mutual one.
We agree a shared working window for each project to keep reviews and communication convenient for both teams.
