Build
Site + app + automation + SEO. Live in one sprint.
The flagship engagement. A 4–12 week sprint where we take a business from idea or fragmented stack to a coherent, AI-native production system. Custom scope, custom proposal, starts after a 30-minute discovery call.
Concrete artifacts you keep.
Every line below ships during the engagement. No “TBDs”, no slide-deck hand-waving — working code, written docs, and dashboards your team owns.
The outcome, not just the output.
- A live, full-stack business in production
- Site + app + automation + SEO under one strategy
- 90 days of operator-grade support post-launch
