Booking 1 Rescue Sprint slot — fixed 4-week diagnostic + stabilization. How it works →
Three ways to work with us. All priced up-front, all staffed with senior engineers and product designers. Pick the one that matches the problem you’re actually trying to solve.
A senior pair, two weeks, one outcome: we tell you what’s broken and ship the fix that unblocks the next quarter.
14 calendar days · refundable if we can’t help
A senior team — engineers, product, design — inside your org. Same standups, same repo. The model behind Cosmic Frog & Poplin.
3–5 people · 3-month minimum · scale up or down monthly
Fixed-price end-to-end build with a clean hand-off to your in-house team. For founders shipping their first version.
Quoted per project · 3–6 month engagements
The honest comparison — including the things competitors hide in a "talk to sales" page.

| Best when | "Something’s slow / broken and no one knows why." | "We have a roadmap. We need a team that can actually ship it." | "We’re pre-launch. Get us to a real product." |
No deck. No salesperson. The senior who’d be in the room if we work together is the one you talk to first.
Pick what you need. We’ll show you a real-world range. No email required.
The questions every prospective client asks before signing. We answer them the same way every time.
Because there’s no project manager between you and the engineer. Our seniors are in your stand-ups, writing PRs, talking to your customers. You’re paying for that — not for a layer of account managers translating between you and the people who actually do the work.
No. Our seniors are a hardcore team that isn’t for sale — we’ve built it deliberately over years and we keep it together. You’re hiring the team for the engagement, not a path to poach individual members.
Embedded engagements have a 30-day notice. No long lock-ins, no termination fees. Rescue Sprints are refundable if we can’t help.
Almost certainly. We’re deep in Rails, Next.js, React, Node, Postgres, AWS/GCP. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you on the discovery call and point you somewhere better.
Senior engineers and product designers with 5+ years of experience each. No juniors on critical path, no offshoring, no rotating contractors. The person you meet on the discovery call is in the room when we ship.
A 2-week Rescue Sprint at €18k. That’s the floor. Anything smaller doesn’t give us enough room to be useful.
