Outcome-Based Pricing

Pay for outcomes, not hours.

All pricing is built around deliverable complexity — not open-ended developer hours. Scope, budget, and delivery path are locked in before engineering begins.

Story-Point Model

Software priced by deliverable complexity.

Points create a shared language for scope. A UI change should not cost the same as an AI copilot workflow, payment flow, or full module. This model brings transparency, predictability, and alignment before build starts.

Pricing Questions

Common questions, answered.

What is the AI Software Factory model?

The AI Software Factory is our delivery infrastructure: a structured pipeline where senior engineers and 8 specialized AI agents collaborate across scoping, architecture, engineering, QA, DevOps, and documentation — creating repeatable, high-quality delivery at scale.

Do you offer long-term engineering partnerships?

Yes. Our AI Software Pod model provides ongoing engineering capacity — a dedicated team of senior engineers and AI agents working as an embedded delivery arm within your organization, with sprint-based delivery and roadmap execution.

How does pricing work for enterprise and complex projects?

All projects are priced around deliverable complexity using our story-point model — not open-ended developer hours. This means you get a predictable budget, timeline, and delivery path before any engineering begins.
