**How we work**

1. Discovery call, then structured requirements, recommended technologies, and a block-level estimate within a few days — free after one call.
2. A clickable prototype the client can change before any code is written.
3. Specifications agreed with the client and finished together with AI agents.
4. Senior-only agentic build: engineers orchestrate AI agents, review every change by hand, and write the hard parts themselves. This is where the 4–10x comes from.
5. Demos monthly or on request; deployment, app store submission, and maintenance after launch.
