Process

Four weeks to clarity. Twelve to momentum.

The same shape every engagement. Small enough to stay accountable, long enough to ship real work.

01

Intake

Week 0 · 60 minutes

A single call to scope what's actually broken versus what's noise. You talk, we ask hard questions, we leave with enough to write a brief — or we tell you we're not the right fit.

  • The problem in your words
  • Who's blocked, who's waiting
  • What "done" looks like to you
  • What you've tried and ruled out
02

Shape

Week 1 · written brief

We send a one-page brief: what we'll ship, what we won't, by when, and what it costs. You either sign or you don't — no revisions-of-the-revision-of-the-deck.

  • Scope & explicit non-goals
  • Weekly deliverable schedule
  • Named owners on both sides
  • Fixed price, fixed end date
03

Ship

Weeks 2–12 · weekly demos

Work lands in your repo, your docs, your tracker. Friday demos. Five-line status every Monday. No thirty-slide update decks, no billable discovery that never ends.

  • Weekly Friday demo, 15 min max
  • Monday status: ship · blockers · plan
  • Your tools, your systems, your repo
  • Midpoint course-correct at week 6
04

Handover

Week 12+ · you keep the work

Everything documented, everything owned by your team. The engagement ends on a date we wrote down in week one. No retainer trap. If you want us back for something else, that's a new brief.

  • Handover doc with named owners
  • Loom walkthrough of every system
  • 30-day office hours after handover
  • Optional quarterly review, not a retainer
"The brief they sent in week one is exactly what they shipped in week twelve. I've never had that happen with an agency."

Head of Product, Orbit Systems
