Our 5-step delivery process — from first call to live app.

What happens on the call

A 30-minute Zoom or phone call with a senior team member — usually whoever would lead your project if you hire us. We don't do a sales pitch. We do a structured discovery conversation focused on three questions:

• What is your business actually doing today? Operations, current tools, where the friction lives.
• What is your customer (or your team) trying to do that's hard right now? The real problem the app needs to solve.
• What does success look like? Specific, measurable — not "modernize our stack."

What you walk away with

• Clarity on whether an app is the right answer. Sometimes it isn't, and we'll tell you.
• A rough timeline and budget range based on what we heard.
• An honest read on whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we'll usually point you to who is.
• Next step: if both sides want to continue, we move to Step 2 — Scope & Fixed Quote.

What's inside the scope artifact

• Feature list with priorities. Must-have for v1, nice-to-have for v2, deliberately out of scope.
• User flows + screen inventory. Wire-level diagrams plus per-platform screen counts.
• Integration map. Every third-party system, with API method, auth model, and data direction.
• Infrastructure plan. Where things run, who owns the accounts, monthly cost.
• Week-by-week timeline with concrete deliverables for each Friday demo.
• One fixed price. Not a range, not "approximately."

How fixed pricing works

We price based on scope, not hours. The formula is roughly:

• Base setup for kickoff, infrastructure, design system, and CI/CD.
• Per-feature cost based on screens, integration complexity, and state model.
• Integration premium — each external system adds a known increment.
• QA and launch scaled to platform count and store-review complexity.

Friday demo cadence

• Installable TestFlight builds for iOS and direct APK links for Android.
• Written update — what shipped, what's next, open decisions, plus a 2-minute screencast.
• The demo is the status update — if it's not in the build, it's not done.
• No status calls. No 30-slide weekly decks. No "we're still working on it."

Why Flutter

• One codebase for iOS and Android with native performance.
• Half the build cost versus two separate native teams.
• Half the long-term maintenance cost — one codebase, one set of dependencies.
• Faster feature parity — features land on both platforms simultaneously.

AI-assisted QA

• Automated test generation from user stories in the scope document.
• Visual-regression diffing against approved design baselines.
• Accessibility audits for WCAG AA compliance on every build.
• Performance profiling on cold-start, scrolling, and integration round-trips.

Real-device matrix

• iOS: latest two iOS versions on iPhone, plus iPad where needed.
• Android: Pixel current + N-1 and Samsung mid-range.
• Network: 4G, slow 3G, and offline scenarios for any retrying integration.
• Locale: at least one non-English locale to catch text and date issues.

Store submission

• App Store Connect setup — listing, screenshots, copy, age rating, privacy disclosures.
• Google Play Console setup — same scope, plus content ratings and data-safety form.
• Reviewer notes to pre-empt rejections on APIs that need explanation.
• Accounts are yours from day one — we don't hold the keys.

What you own at the end

• Source code with full repository history.
• Design files — Figma, design-system tokens, asset libraries.
• Cloud infrastructure in your accounts, in your name.
• Documentation — architecture decisions, integration playbooks, runbooks.
• No proprietary lock-in, custom CMS fees, or hidden platform tax.
