Fixed-price packages.
No hourly billing
You pay for deliverables, not calendar time. Scope is locked in Week 1 after the Lehi strategy session. If scope grows, we write a new fixed-price addendum — never an open meter.
Production Hardening
You vibe-coded the prototype. We ship the production app.
best-for: You shipped something with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or Devin. Now it needs to survive App Store review, a SOC 2 questionnaire, or 10,000 users.
- ✓AWS Well-Architected review of your existing stack
- ✓App Store / Play Store submission (or web cutover)
- ✓Production-grade auth on Cognito + federation
- ✓Observability: CloudWatch + Sentry + Budgets
- ✓CI/CD pipeline in YOUR GitHub org
- ✓Migration to Bedrock + AgentCore where applicable
- ✓30 days of senior on-call support post-launch
MVP Launch
One app. Production-ready. 30 days.
best-for: Seed-stage founders who need a real app in their users' hands this month.
- ✓Discovery + fixed-price quote (Week 1)
- ✓One platform: iOS, Android, or Web
- ✓Core auth + primary user flow + analytics
- ✓AWS backend in your own account
- ✓App Store / Play Store submission or live URL
- ✓30 days of on-call support post-launch
Full Cycle
Multi-platform. Full stack. Six weeks, flat.
best-for: Series A teams or sister brands under an existing business that need a production system, not a prototype.
- ✓Everything in MVP Launch
- ✓Two platforms (e.g. iOS + web, or Android + web)
- ✓AWS Well-Architected infra with CI/CD
- ✓Design system + Storybook/Ladle handoff
- ✓Accessibility audit to WCAG AA
- ✓Analytics dashboard + cost alerts

Enterprise
Scoped to your SOC 2, HIPAA, or multi-region reality.
best-for: Companies with compliance mandates, existing AWS Organizations, or cross-team coordination needs.
- ✓Everything in Full Cycle
- ✓Dedicated senior team (3–6 engineers)
- ✓SOC 2 / HIPAA / FedRAMP-ready baseline
- ✓Multi-region AWS architecture
