Frequently Asked Questions

We offer three engagement models: Fixed Price for well-defined projects, Time & Materials for evolving requirements, and Dedicated Team for long-term partnerships. Every project starts with a free detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Every new engagement starts with a trial sprint (typically 2 weeks). You get to evaluate our team, communication, code quality, and delivery process. If you're not satisfied, you don't pay for the sprint. It's our way of proving value before you commit.

Typically within 1-2 weeks of signing. We maintain bench capacity specifically to ensure fast project starts. For urgent projects, we can sometimes start within days.
