How we work
We won’t quote a build we haven’t scoped
Most agencies guess the price, win the work, then discover the real scope on your budget. We charge for the discovery, hand you the document, and quote from facts. If you never build with us, the blueprint is still yours.

What R95,000 actually buys
Seven documents you own outright
Named, so you can judge each one on its merits. If you never build with us, you keep all of it — including the architecture, which you can hand to any developer alive.
The Systems Map
Every system you run, every handoff between them, and every point where a person re-keys data that already exists somewhere else.
Replaces a consultancy assessment
The Leak Ledger
Each leak quantified in rands per month. Not “inefficiency” — an actual figure your finance director can check.
The number that funds the project
The Target Architecture
The system you should be running, drawn. Yours to take to any developer alive.
Vendor-independent
The Integration Inventory
Every API, every DMS, every vendor contract — and specifically where you’re locked in and what it would cost to leave.
Usually nobody knows this
The Build Plan, priced
Phased, with fixed costs against each phase. This is what makes a fixed-price build possible at all.
Removes the guess
The Business Case
Written for the person who has to approve it, not for the person who wants it.
For the board
Bonus — The Rent Audit
What you pay every vendor per year, against what owning the same capability costs over five. Frequently the whole argument.
Included
R95,000 · three weeks
Credited in full against the build. If you never build with us, you keep every document above.
R95,000
We run two builds at a time. That’s not a sales tactic — it’s how the work stays good. Blueprints book about six weeks ahead of a build slot.
The question nobody asks out loud
“What happens if you get hit by a bus?”
It’s the right question at this price, and most small studios dodge it. Here is our answer in writing, before you have to ask.
You own the repository
Not us. From commit one, in your GitHub organisation, under your billing. We have access because you granted it, and you can revoke it in thirty seconds.
The pod is named
You get CVs and LinkedIn profiles for every person on your build before you sign. No anonymous offshore bench, no bait-and-switch.
Documentation is a deliverable
Architecture decisions, runbooks, environment setup and a handover video. Any competent developer can pick this up cold.
Standard stack, on purpose
No proprietary framework only we understand. Boring, well-documented technology that a thousand South African developers already know.
