Product Development · Ecommerce · Software & AI · Growth

We build what you can't staff for.

Product development, ecommerce, software and AI, and growth — delivered by a vetted bench of senior builders, under one contract, with one person accountable for the outcome.

Palm Beach County, Florida — working nationally

What you're actually buying

01

Fixed price

You approve a number and a written scope before anyone starts. No hourly meters, no invoice surprises, no "it grew."

02

We eat the rework

Every deliverable passes our own review before it reaches you. Work that misses the spec gets fixed at our cost, not yours.

03

Five-day replacement

If anyone on your project becomes unavailable, we replace them within five business days at no cost. The firm is accountable, not an individual.

The problem

Good builders are easy to find. Good outcomes aren't.

Most companies don't fail to hire talent. They fail to evaluate it, manage it, and hold it accountable — and they do that while running the rest of the business.

A freelancer disappears mid-project. An agency assigns you the junior team after the pitch. Five vendors each own a piece and none owns the result. You end up managing the people you hired to stop managing.

We're structured to remove that. We assemble senior specialists into a team for your project, scope and price the work ourselves, review every deliverable before you see it, and stay on the hook for the outcome regardless of who does the work.

One contract. One invoice. One phone number.

Practices

Four disciplines. One accountable firm.

Most firms sell one of these. The reason we sell all four is that real projects cross the lines — a physical product needs a store, a store needs automation, and none of it matters without demand.

01

Product Development

Physical products, from concept through tooling. Twenty years of mechanical engineering and consumer hardware behind every engagement — the practice almost no digital firm can staff.

  • Feasibility Sprint $4,500
  • Design for Manufacture package $12k–28k
  • Prototype to production program $35k+
  • Supplier sourcing & qualification $6,500

02

Ecommerce

Built and run by people who have operated stores, not just built them. Migrations, custom builds, and the retention work that decides whether any of it pays back.

  • Store teardown & revenue audit $1,500
  • Shopify build $12k–25k
  • Platform migration $9k–22k
  • Ecommerce ops retainer from $3,500/mo

03

Software & AI

Internal tools, integrations, automation, and AI agents that do real work — answering, qualifying, and booking around the clock. Shipped in weeks, not quarters.

  • AI intake agent $6,500 + $500/mo
  • Automation audit $2,500
  • Workflow automation build $8k–20k
  • Custom internal tool $18k–45k

04

Growth & Creative

Brand, site, content, and outbound. The part most technical firms hand off and most marketing firms can't implement.

  • Brand kit $4,500
  • Site design & build $6,500–15k
  • Outbound engine setup $7,500 + $3,000/mo
  • Content engine $3,500/mo

Selected work

Twenty years of shipped, not slideware.

Product Development

Consumer hardware, national retail

Lead product development engineer for a national consumer hardware brand — concept through DFM, tooling, and supplier qualification, on products that shipped at retail scale.

Ecommerce

$1.4M+ operated, WooCommerce → Shopify

Built and ran the ecommerce operation for a consumer brand past $1.4M in revenue, including a full platform migration off WooCommerce, self-hosted infrastructure, and the retention program behind it.

Software & AI

AI intake agent for professional services

A 24/7 agent that answers prospect questions in a firm's own voice, qualifies the inquiry, and books the consultation — built for practices losing clients to unanswered phones. Live demo available on request.

Software & AI

Custom applications & internal tools

Production web applications across Laravel, Vue, and Node — AI-assisted content tooling, live operational dashboards, and data pipelines built for people who use them every day.

Approach

How a project actually runs.

The process is the product. It's what separates a firm from a search for a freelancer.

01

Qualify

A fifteen-minute call to establish what you're trying to accomplish and what happens if it doesn't get done. If we're not the right firm, we say so on that call.

02

Scope and price

We write the scope — deliverables, acceptance criteria, what's explicitly excluded, and a fixed price. You approve a document, not an estimate.

03

Staff

We assemble the team from our vetted bench against the specific skills your project needs. You get seniors who have done this exact work before.

04

Build, with a written update every Friday

Milestone-based delivery. You hear from us weekly whether or not there's news, and you hear about a slip before you'd notice it.

05

Review gate

Nothing reaches you until it's been checked against the acceptance criteria by someone who didn't build it. This is the step you're paying us for.

06

Handoff

Deliverables, credentials, documentation, and a recorded walkthrough. You own it outright. No hostage-taking on access or source.

The bench

Vetted, not sourced.

We don't post your project to a marketplace and forward you résumés. Every builder on our bench has cleared the same four-stage gate before they ever touch client work.

  1. Portfolio inspection. We examine the actual shipped work, not the case study written about it.
  2. A paid work sample. Real conditions, real deadline. We pay for it, because how someone behaves when the work is real is the only useful signal.
  3. Two client reference calls. Asked one question: would you hire them again?
  4. Delivery history. Satisfaction and rework are tracked on every engagement and decide who gets staffed next.

We reject most applicants. That rejection rate is the entire reason a client can hand us a project without evaluating a single résumé.

Start a project

Tell us what needs to get built.

We'll reply within one business day. If we're not the right firm for it, we'll tell you that instead of writing a proposal.

Not ready to talk?

Ask for a free teardown — a written review of your store, product, or funnel with the specific things we'd fix and what we think they're costing you. No obligation, and it's yours to keep either way.
