What they’re good for: Simple workflows between popular apps (Slack → Google Sheets)What they can’t do: Chrome extensions, browser automation, custom UI, complex logic, AI workflows at scale, systems that drive real revenueWhen to choose us: When your needs are too complex for no-code tools. When you need custom tools that become competitive advantages, not just basic integrations.
Why not Upwork or freelancers?
Why not Upwork or freelancers?
Freelancers build what you ask for. We figure out what actually needs to be built.Risk: Code quality varies wildly. No accountability after delivery. You’re managing project managers instead of getting results.Us: Production-ready code. Ongoing partnership. We’ve shipped systems that drove 60% of revenue and contributed to acquisitions. You get the same person who built for Contra and Groupon.
Why not wait / do nothing?
Why not wait / do nothing?
Every quarter you wait:

Why not just vibe code it?
Why not just vibe code it?
Everything seems simple if you’re new to the space, but as soon as you start building this stuff at scale, you’ll find it’s all going to fall over. This is the trap that everyone is falling into right now. It’s the one that you need to worry about—or one that I’m here to help you not worry about by moving through that complexity with you.
Why Project-Based Scoping?
Revenue problems, not feature lists. We’re not competing with freelancers who build what you ask for. We’re revenue engineers who figure out what actually needs to be built. Project scoping ensures we focus on solving your business problem, not just shipping features.
