- How long does a first release take?
- It depends on scope. A focused first version — one product, the core feature working on real data — is usually eight to fourteen weeks from kickoff to store submission. You get a schedule with dates in the written scope, before any work starts.
- What does it cost?
- Projects are priced either as a fixed scope or as a monthly rate for a dedicated team. We give you a number after a scoping conversation rather than before one. That conversation is free, and so is the scope we write from it.
- Who owns the code?
- You do, from the first commit. Where you already have a repository we work in it. Where you do not, we set one up in your name and hand over the keys.
- Can you work with our existing team?
- Yes. We take on a whole product, a single platform, or a piece of work alongside your engineers using your tools, your branching model and your review process.
- Do you sign NDAs and healthcare agreements?
- Yes. We sign mutual NDAs as a matter of course. Where a project involves protected health information, the agreements and safeguards the law requires are in place before any real data reaches us.
- What do you build with?
- Typed, well-supported, slightly boring tools: one codebase for iOS and Android, managed cloud services behind it, and nothing we could not still support in three years. We pick the stack to fit the product and the budget it has to run on.
- What happens if we stop working together?
- The software keeps running. Everything is already in your accounts, the deployment is documented, and we will brief whoever picks it up. There is no proprietary layer of ours to unpick.
