Big Commitments Are Risky. No Commitment Gets Nothing Done.
You need help, but you're not ready to sign a 6-month contract with a new vendor. Your last “strategic partnership” turned into a expensive disappointment. Yet your backlog keeps growing.
The trust paradox:
- You can't evaluate capability without working together
- You can't work together without a contract
- You can't sign a contract without trust
- You can't build trust without... (repeat)
Solution: A structured pilot that proves value before commitment

You've seen our work, communication style, and delivery speed. Ready to scale?
Three Ways This Can End (All Good)
Pre-defined exit criteria mean no awkward conversations
Success → Scale
When: Pilot objectives met
What happens: Seamless transition to full engagement with pilot fee credited
Success → Handoff
When: Good fit, but you'll continue internally
What happens: Full documentation and knowledge transfer included
Not a Fit → Part Ways
When: Expectations misaligned
What happens: No hard feelings, you keep all work product
94% of pilots convert to full engagements because the value is undeniable.
The other 6% appreciate the clean exit.
From Pilot to Partnership
“The 2-week pilot eliminated all our concerns. We saw their code quality, communication style, and problem-solving approach firsthand. Now they're our go-to technical partner.”
“We were skeptical about outsourcing critical features. The pilot proved they could integrate seamlessly with our team. Six months later, they've delivered 10x the pilot's value.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly can we accomplish in 2 weeks?
More than you'd think. We've built working payment integrations, fixed critical performance issues, created data pipelines, and deployed ML models—all within pilot timeframes. The key is precise scoping and senior execution.
How is this different from a typical agency 'discovery phase'?
Discovery phases produce documents. Our pilots produce working software. You'll see actual code, experience our communication style, and have something tangible to show stakeholders.
What if we need to adjust scope during the pilot?
Minor adjustments are fine and expected. For major pivots, we'll discuss converting to a full engagement. The pilot structure ensures discipline on both sides.
Do we need to commit to a larger engagement?
No. The pilot has clear exit criteria with no strings attached. 94% of clients continue because they want to, not because they have to.
