Things people ask before signing.
How quickly can you start?
Most engagements start within 5 business days of contract signature. Productized packages - Codebase Audit, RAG Pipeline Starter - can begin within 48 hours.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We have a standard mutual NDA we can send over, or we'll redline yours. We've signed 30+ to date.
Where do your engineers sit?
Our HQ is in Lucknow (UTC+5:30). About 60% of the team works there; the rest are remote across India and the EU. We commit to 2 hours of overlap with EU clients and 3 with US East Coast.
Fixed price or T&M?
Both. Productized packages are fixed price; custom studio engagements are typically time-and-materials with a not-to-exceed cap. Retainers are flat monthly.
Who owns the IP?
You do. All work-product is assigned to you on payment. We retain rights to generic patterns and reusable libraries that aren't specific to your domain.
Do you work with early-stage startups?
Yes - that's most of what we do. Our Startup Tech Consulting practice exists for it. We don't take equity in lieu of cash, but we do offer reduced rates for pre-seed and seed companies on specific packages.
Can you help us pass SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA?
Yes. The SOC 2 Type I sprint is a 10-week productized engagement. ISO 27001 and HIPAA follow similar patterns. We bring auditor relationships.
Do you do mobile apps?
Yes - React Native is our default. Native iOS/Android only when there's a real reason (deep platform APIs, AR, etc.) Everything else is RN with native modules where needed.
