01Problems
Sound familiar?
These are the situations people come to us with. Different tasks, one mechanic: we describe the process, automate the bottleneck and hand it over working.
“Requests come into chats and get lost, we count everything in Excel.”
Intake with validation, a record in the CRM and a notification to the person responsible.
“Payouts and reconciliation are done by hand — and there are mistakes.”
A settlement module with rules, an operation log and export to your accounting.
“Staff repeat the same action a hundred times a day.”
An internal tool built around the actual process, not around a generic CRM.
“We have the data but no reporting.”
A dashboard and scheduled reports that land where the team already works.
“Under peak load the service falls over and we hear about it from clients.”
Profiling, queues, caching and idempotency — plus monitoring with alerts before users notice.
“There is a system, but every change means two weeks and a new invoice.”
An audit, documentation and a handover so the code stops being a hostage situation.
Four directions on one backend contour. One contractor for the whole chain — bot, payments, admin panel, dashboards — instead of stitching three teams together.
01 / 04
01
Process automation
A repeated action leaves the working day and becomes a service that runs itself.
Typical tasks
Request intake with validation and routing to the person responsible
Telegram bots for sales, support and internal operations
Scheduled jobs, notifications and background workers
Data sync between CRM, spreadsheets and your systems
A task that sits between these, or is not on the list at all? Describe it — we will tell you honestly whether we take it, and if not, who does it better.
03Process
How the work goes
Every step has a deadline and an artefact you keep — not a verb. This is what replaces promises about quality.
01
Call, 30 minutes
We ask about the process, the constraints and what is already in place.
You get
An honest answer on whether we take it, and a rough shape of the solution
From you
A description of the task in your own words
02
Scope and estimate, 2–3 business days
We break the task into work items and price them with the risks named.
You get
Work breakdown, timeline, budget range, risk list — free, and yours to keep
From you
Access to the current system or a couple of clarifying answers
03
Sprints of 1–2 weeks
We build in short cycles and show working software, not screenshots.
You get
A demo every Friday, repository and staging access from day one
From you
1–2 hours a week for the demo and acceptance
04
Launch
We deploy to your infrastructure and hand over everything needed to run it.
You get
Production, accounts, deployment instructions, API docs
From you
Acceptance and the accounts the services will live on
05
Support
Defects on us, development by agreement.
You get
A warranty period, an agreed response time, monitoring and alerts
From you
A decision on the support format — or nothing at all
04Formats
How you can work with us
When the task is broad, the format matters more than the price list. Pick the model that matches how well the scope is defined.
What it is
Choose when
Bad fit when
Fixed price per stage
What it is
Scope, price and deadline are locked before we start. Changes go into a separate stage.
Choose when
The task is described, this is our first project together, you need a predictable number.
Bad fit when
The product is still being figured out and the scope changes every week.
Sprints, time and materials
What it is
Two-week cycles, priorities re-agreed before each one. You can stop after any sprint.
Choose when
There is no spec yet, the direction is clear but the details are not.
Bad fit when
You need one invoice for the whole year — take the fixed price instead.
Dedicated developer
What it is
An engineer works inside your team, your process and your tracker. Billed monthly.
Choose when
You have your own tech lead or product owner and need hands.
Bad fit when
There is nobody on your side to set the tasks.
Support and development
What it is
A monthly fee with an agreed response time. Month to month, no annual lock-in.
Choose when
The system is live and needs someone responsible for it.
Bad fit when
You only need a one-off fix — that is a stage, not a subscription.
What drives the price
What drives the price
Number of roles and permission levels
Integrations with systems you already run
Load and reliability requirements
Data volume and migration from the current system
Urgency — a compressed deadline costs more than a normal one
For a first project we usually suggest a fixed price per stage: you risk one known amount rather than an open-ended estimate.
Not “quality and an individual approach” — obligations that go into the contract and can be checked against it.
01 / 07
01
Fixed price per stage
The estimate does not grow along the way. Extra scope is a new agreement, not a surprise invoice.
02
Payment by stages
Not happy with a stage — we do not start the next one, and you pay only for what is already done.
03
Code and accounts are yours from day one
Repository in your organisation, servers and services on your accounts. Nothing to migrate if we part ways.
04
Missed deadline on us — finished at our cost
And we discuss a possible shift before it happens, not in the report afterwards.
05
Contract and NDA
We work with legal entities and sign an NDA on request — template sent in the first message.
06
Outages do not stop the project
Work is asynchronous, code and backups live in your repository and your cloud rather than on our machines. Timelines are planned around interruptions, not around perfect conditions.
07
You can take the project over at any moment
Documentation and access are kept current as we go, not written up at the end. If we drop off the radar, another team picks the work up where it stands.
06Fit
Who we fit — and who we do not
We will work well together if
There is a person on your side who makes decisions
The task is about processes, money or load — this is where we are strongest
You are up for a weekly demo and acceptance
You need someone responsible for the whole loop, not a one-off patch
We are probably not the right fit if
The result is needed immediately and there is no time to work through the task
Work without a contract
We need to pick up someone else’s code with no access to the author and no chance to audit it first
Your current team already covers this — we will say so rather than take the work
Everything else is up for discussion. If the task is not ours, we say so on the first call and, where we can, point you to someone better suited.
07Questions
Questions we get asked
The ones that actually come up in chat — answered the way we answer them there.
01
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of roles, integrations, load requirements and how much data has to be migrated. We do not quote from a description alone: after a 30-minute call we break the task into work items and send a budget range with a risk list within 2–3 business days. That estimate is free and it is yours to keep, even if you build it elsewhere.
02
We do not have a spec. Is that a problem?
No — most tasks arrive that way. In that case we do not start with code, we start with the process: what happens now, where it breaks, what has to stay. The output is a written scope you can take to any contractor. If you already have a spec that describes logic and edge cases, we can start building straight away.
03
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. The repository lives in your organisation, servers and third-party services are registered on your accounts. If we stop working together, there is nothing to hand over — it is already yours.
04
What if we do not like the result?
We work in stages, and you pay stage by stage. If a stage does not satisfy you, we do not start the next one and you pay only for what has been delivered. On sprints you can stop after any two-week cycle. That is why we usually suggest a fixed price for a first project — you risk one known amount.
05
Will you take over an existing system?
Yes, but not blindly. We start with an audit: we read the code, find the bottlenecks and the risks, and say honestly whether it makes sense to keep it or rebuild the weak part. Taking over legacy without an audit is how deadlines get missed, so we do not do it.
06
Our service falls over under load. Can you fix it?
That is one of our main areas. We do not rewrite first — we profile and find where the time is actually spent. Usually it is queries, missing queues or synchronous calls that should have been background jobs. You get a report with the bottlenecks and the cost of fixing each, then we agree what is worth doing.
07
How do you handle financial data?
Access control and roles, an audit log of every operation, idempotency on payment webhooks so nothing is charged twice, secrets outside the repository, backups with restore tested. We write the software — licensing and legal compliance stay on your side, and we will say so plainly rather than pretend otherwise.
08
Who supports it after launch and what does that cost?
Defects that are our fault are fixed under warranty. Beyond that there is a monthly support format with an agreed response time — month to month, no annual contract. You can also take everything in-house: we hand over documentation, deployment instructions and accounts, and that is a normal outcome, not an offence.
09
Do you work under a contract with an EU legal entity?
Yes. We work with legal entities in Ukraine and the EU, sign an NDA on request and send the template with the first message. Closing documents are standard.
10
Why you and not an agency or a freelancer?
Against an agency: no account managers between you and the code, so the person who estimated the task is the person who builds it. Against a freelancer: there is a contract, a process, a repository in your organisation and someone to hand over to. If your task needs thirty people, we are the wrong choice and we will say so.
08Contact
Describe the task
We come back with a scope, a timeline and a budget range. Free, and it commits you to nothing.
