Ship the roadmap your team does not have the bandwidth for.
MVPs that survive their first thousand customers, plus the AI and platform work your engineers keep deferring.
Most SaaS teams know exactly what they should build next. What they lack is a second engineering track that can take a whole surface area — the AI feature, the enterprise requirements, the platform migration — and deliver it without stealing focus from the core roadmap.
The four things saas teams tell us first.
If none of these describe you, we are probably not the right call. If two or more do, the conversation is usually worth fifteen minutes.
The AI feature has been on the roadmap for three quarters
Everyone agrees it matters, nobody has a spare engineer, and the prototype from the hackathon is still sitting in a branch.
Support load scales with revenue
Headcount grows in lockstep with customers because most tickets are answered somewhere in documentation nobody reads.
Enterprise buyers want SSO, audit logs, and SOC 2
Each deal stalls on the same list of platform requirements that never quite reaches the top of the backlog.
Multi-tenancy was bolted on later
The data model assumed one customer, so isolation, per-tenant limits, and usage billing are now expensive to retrofit.
What we build for saas teams.
Each of these maps to one of our four practices, so the same team carries it from architecture through to production.
SaaS MVP and new surface area
Turn-key first versions with multi-tenancy, billing, feature flags, and analytics from the first commit — or a complete new module delivered alongside your existing roadmap.
AI features that reach general availability
Assistants, RAG over customer data with per-tenant isolation, and agent workflows, all with evaluation harnesses and cost ceilings so you can price them confidently.
Enterprise readiness
SSO and SCIM, role-based access control, audit logging, data residency options, and the technical evidence enterprise security reviews ask for.
Growth and lifecycle automation
Onboarding sequences, usage-triggered messaging, churn signals, and internal alerting driven by product events rather than manual list building.
Systems we already integrate with
And the ones we do not, we read the documentation for. Integration risk is priced during the architecture sprint, never discovered halfway through a build.
A comparable engagement, in detail.
How working with us actually goes.
No discovery phase that bills for six weeks and produces a slide deck. You get a plan with a number attached in the first week, and something running in the second.
- 01
Discovery call
15 minutesYou describe the problem. We ask the four or five questions that determine the approach, and tell you on the call whether this is something we should build.
- 02
Architecture sprint
5 working daysA fixed-fee week that produces the system design, the risk register, a phased plan, and a real number. You own the document either way, and it credits against the build.
- 03
Build in weekly slices
3 to 14 weeksEvery Friday there is something in staging you can click. Types at the boundaries, tests on the paths that matter, and a changelog you can read without us in the room.

Handover or embed
OngoingArchitecture walkthrough, runbooks, and onboarding docs for whoever inherits it. Or we stay on as your engineering function. Both are fine outcomes.
SaaS questions, answered
We take a bounded surface area with a clear interface to your code, work in your repository against your standards, and join the ceremonies that matter. The goal is that your team reviews our pull requests, not that they manage us.
You keep everything, documented. We run an architecture walkthrough, write the onboarding guide for whoever inherits it, and stay available on a light retainer if you want a safety net for the first months.
Other industries we work in
Let us look at your saas systems.
Two ways to start, both of them short. Bring the problem, not a specification — the first useful thing we do is tell you what we would build and roughly what it costs.
Book an architecture call
Fifteen minutes, no deck. We map your problem to an approach and tell you what a realistic scope and budget look like.
- A specific technical recommendation
- A budget band you can plan against
- An honest answer if we are the wrong fit
Send a written brief
Prefer to write it down? Email us the shape of the problem and we will reply with a first take, usually under 12 hours.
- Goes straight to an engineer, not a sales inbox
- We reply with an approach, not a brochure
- Attach anything: repos, docs, screenshots
