From first scope to production.
Our proposed delivery model. Each step ends with something you can review.
- 01
Define the problem
Map users, systems, constraints, and the first useful outcome.
- 02
Plan the work
Agree the release scope, architecture, responsibilities, and acceptance criteria.
- 03
Build and review
Review working software against the agreed requirements.
- 04
Release and operate
Prepare deployment, monitoring, documentation, and handover.
A focused MVP release in 30 days.
One core workflow, with scope and dependencies agreed in week 1. The 30-day target depends on timely access, decisions and a release small enough to validate. What fits in a 30-day MVP.

Inside the 30 days
- Week 1Scope locked
- Week 2First working build
- Week 3Review and harden
- Week 4Release to users
05Responsibility
Engineering decisions you can inspect.
Instead of a wall of technology logos, here is what we write down and hand over on every project.
Architecture
Decisions and tradeoffs recorded as short decision records, with the options we rejected and why.
Quality
Code review, automated tests on risky paths, and release criteria agreed before the build starts.
Ownership
You own the code, repositories and infrastructure accounts. Deployment and handover are part of the scope.
06Why the Balkans
Engineered in the Balkans. Priced outside Silicon Valley.
Every engineer on client work holds an engineering or computer science degree from a university in the region, where professors say “see you at the September resit” the way others say “good morning”. You get that rigour, quoted from a cost base in Banja Luka rather than London or New York.
Hard-earned degrees
Long programmes, oral exams and professors who want the working, not just the answer. We learned to show our work, so we document it for you too.
10+ years, regional cost
Every engineer on client work has more than 10 years of professional experience. Rent, salaries and coffee cost less here, so you see the difference in the quote, not in the code review.
Same hours, clear language
Working hours overlap with Europe and the US. We work in English or BCMS. Strict professors not included.
