Services // Outsourcing

Outsourcing SaaS development without losing control of the system.

An engineering team that works to a written specification, reports in measurements, and hands over code, schema and runbooks you own outright.

Scope

Capacity you can direct, with an exit that stays open.

Outsourced SaaS development usually fails on ownership rather than on skill: undocumented decisions, environments only the vendor can rebuild, and a codebase nobody internal can pick up.

We work the other way. Specifications are written before build, environments are reproducible, and every engagement ends with runbooks and a handover that lets your team — or another supplier — continue without us.

There is no account management layer. You talk to the engineers doing the work, and they reply the same business day.

  • No card, no trial clock
  • Engineer replies same business day
  • SOC 2 Type II · PIPEDA
  • Your data stays in your region

Who this is for

  • Companies without in-house SaaS engineering capacity
  • Teams needing to parallelise delivery for a fixed period
  • Businesses recovering a project from a previous supplier
  • Leaders who want outsourced delivery without vendor lock-in
Problems // What we remove

The failures this work is meant to end.

Knowledge that leaves with the vendor

Decisions kept in someone else's head are a hostage situation. Specifications, runbooks and reasoning are written as work proceeds.

Status reports without evidence

Percentage-complete means nothing. Progress is reported as shipped increments measured against stated acceptance criteria.

Environments nobody else can rebuild

If only the supplier can provision it, you cannot leave. Infrastructure is reproducible and documented from the start.

Capabilities // What we build

Engineering scope, stated plainly.

Scoped delivery

Work broken into fixed-scope, fixed-price increments so cost and direction stay under your control.

  • Written specification and acceptance criteria per increment
  • Re-specified and re-priced in writing when scope changes
  • No open-ended time-and-materials drift

Embedded engineering

Our engineers working inside your process — your repository, your review standards, your release cadence.

  • Direct access to the engineers building it
  • Same business day response
  • Mixed teams where your engineers own product surfaces

Handover by default

Every engagement is built to be transferable, whether or not it ever transfers.

  • Reproducible environments and documented infrastructure
  • Runbooks and architecture notes maintained during build
  • Full structured data export on request, at no cost
Process // How we work

A sequence, not a discovery phase.

01

Specification

Scope, acceptance criteria and a fixed price, in writing.

02

Setup

Reproducible environments and access, documented as they are built.

03

Delivery

Shippable increments reviewed against acceptance criteria.

04

Measure

Performance and reconciliation figures published, not summarised.

05

Handover

Runbooks, documentation and ownership transferred cleanly.

Questions // Direct

Answered without a call.

Do you work fixed-price or time-based?

Fixed price against a written specification per increment. It keeps the incentive on shipping rather than on hours.

Can you take over a stalled project?

Yes, starting with a review of what exists and a written read of the state before any commitment.

Which time zones do you cover?

The team works North American hours across Canadian and US locations already listed on this site.

What happens at the end?

Handover: code, schema, environments, runbooks and data export. Continuing with us is optional, never structural.

Related // Adjacent work

Where this connects.

Most engagements combine two or three of these. Start wherever the pressure is highest.
