Working software
Something you can see and use, built in your repository against the agreed goal. Not a plan, not a mock-up.
What to verify: Run it yourself on day 14. It should work in your environment, not only on our laptop.
How We Engage The Two-Week SprintTwo weeks.
Two weeks.
One clear goal.
Then you decide.
We don't ask you to sign up for six months on the strength of a sales call. An engineer joins your team for 14 days and builds something you can test.
Why a sprint
Proof before
commitment.
It's paid because real work gets done. It's short because you shouldn't have to take our word for it.
Paid, because real work gets done
A free trial gets free-trial effort. A paid sprint gets a senior engineer working on your actual problem.
Short, because trust is earned
You should not sign six months on the strength of a sales call. Two weeks is enough to see how we work.
One goal, so the result is judgeable
A single clear goal makes day 14 a real decision rather than a debate about what was promised.
Backed by our team
Your engineer has code review, architecture help and cover behind them, even inside two weeks.
The 14 days
What happens,
day by day.
- 0
One clear goal
Before the sprint starts we agree, in writing, the one thing that should exist by day 14 and how you will judge it. One goal, not a wish list.
- 1–3
Inside your team
Your engineer joins your Slack, standups and repository, gets access to what the goal needs, and talks to the people who will use what gets built.
- 4–10
Building in the open
Working software lands in your repository as it is built. You see progress in your own tools every day, not in a status deck.
- 11–13
Tested against reality
The work is tested with real data and real users where possible. Known limits are written down, not hidden.
- 14
You decide
A demo, a written summary and the code. Keep going, change direction, or stop. No hard feelings.
What you get on day 14
Something real
to judge.
An honest written summary
What was built, what was learned, what did not work and what we would do next, in plain language.
What to verify: The summary should name limits and open risks, not just wins.
A plan for what comes next
If continuing makes sense, a clear proposal: the next goal, the team it needs and what it would cost. If it does not, we say so.
What to verify: The proposal should be specific enough to compare against other options.
Everything stays with you
The code, documentation and access remain yours whether or not you continue.
What to verify: Check the code is in your repository and our access can be removed the same day.
Day 14
Keep going, change
direction, or stop.
All three are fine outcomes. Stopping after two weeks with a clear answer is cheaper than six months of hoping.

Good sprint goals
Small enough to finish.
Big enough to matter.
A good goal is one thing that should exist by day 14. These are the shapes they usually take.
Prove an AI idea is real
Take one workflow and show whether AI can do it well enough on your data, with numbers rather than opinions.
Unstick a pilot
Take a prototype that works in a demo and find out what it needs to work for real users.
Ship one useful feature
A bounded feature in your product, built to your standards and ready for review.
Test the fit
See how an engineer works inside your team before committing to a longer engagement.
Security & ownership
Two weeks.
Same rules.
A short engagement still touches your code and data, so the boundaries are agreed before day one.
Only the access the goal needs
Access is scoped to the sprint goal, agreed with you up front and removed when the sprint ends if you do not continue.
You own the code from day one
Everything built in the sprint belongs to you and lives in your repository.
NDA and your security rules
We sign NDAs, follow your security policies and keep credentials out of code and prompts.
Before we start.
What does the sprint cost?
It depends on the goal and the engineer it needs. You get a clear, fixed number after the first call, before anything starts.
What can realistically be done in two weeks?
One clear, bounded goal: a working feature, a tested AI workflow, or an honest answer on whether an idea holds up. We will tell you on the first call if your goal is too big and suggest a smaller one.
What happens if the sprint does not show real progress?
You walk away. There is no long contract to unwind.
What happens if we want to continue?
We propose the next step, usually a forward-deployed engineer or a small pod, with the goal and cost spelled out. You decide.
Who owns what is built?
You do, from day one, whether or not you continue.
How soon can a sprint start?
Usually soon after the first call, depending on the skills needed and your onboarding. We confirm the start date before you commit.
The next step
What should exist
by day 14?
Tell us the problem. We'll tell you honestly whether two weeks can move it, and what the goal and price would be.
