The three phases and what each one costs you
The build phase assembles the team. We agree the roles with you, recruit against them, and you approve each person before they start. Expect a shape like a tech lead, three to five engineers, a QA engineer and a delivery lead, adjusted to your roadmap. The team ships from the first month, because the point is output, not setup.
The operate phase is the long middle. We manage the people and the process while you direct the product. Typical operation runs 12 to 24 months, long enough for the team to learn your business and for you to prepare a home for it. You pay a monthly rate per seat during this phase, which covers the people, equipment and our management.
The transfer phase moves the team to you. Employment contracts, tools, accounts and process documents change hands over a structured handover of 30 to 90 days, with the team shadowing your managers and your managers taking over decisions step by step. The price of transfer is agreed in the contract at the start, so it is a known figure and not a negotiation at the moment you are most dependent.
