Every project is different. The way we work isn't.
We don't publish a price list: a real-estate application and an HR tool have nothing in common. Here's what we do guarantee, whatever the project. Custom software's reputation, “it always overruns”, comes from an era without prototypes and without iterations. Here's how we made it obsolete.
What you get, step by step.
Five steps, always the same. At each one, something concrete changes hands, and the first two cost you nothing.
First conversation
We understand the need and tell you honestly whether it's feasible
Written quote and scope
What's included, what isn't, the price, the timeline
Everything before this is free, and it's yours to keep, even if you say no.
Clickable prototype
You test it on your real data
First production release
A version your teams can use
Then
A delivery every 2 weeks
No step starts until the previous one has produced something you can look at.
What makes a quote vary.
- The number of integrations with your existing tools.
- The complexity and cleanliness of your data.
- The number of users and roles.
- The level of industrialisation expected (internal use vs end customer).
- Compliance and security constraints.
What never makes a quote vary: your size, your sector, or our impression of your budget. The price follows from the scope, and the scope is written down.
Five written commitments. The risk stays on our side.
They appear in every proposal we send. You don't have to ask for them.
- 1 week
You see it running before you sign.
A working prototype on your real cases, delivered in 1 week. If it doesn't convince you, you go no further and you owe us nothing.
- 5 working days
A firm price, not a range.
Scope, timeline and budget in writing within 5 working days. The amount we quote is the amount you pay, as long as the scope doesn't change.
- 0 dependency
You leave with the keys.
The code, the data and the documentation are yours, in your stack, from day one. No licence to renew, no dependency on us to keep going.
- ROI quantified before the go
No measurable gain, no project.
We quantify the expected return before writing the first line. If your case has no identifiable return, we tell you and we turn the project down.
- every 15 days
You can stop at every milestone.
A demo every 15 days, a decision every time. You continue, you adjust, or you stop with no penalty and no notice period.
30 minutes. We'll tell you whether your case holds up, even when the answer is no.
What the other pages don't say.
Who actually works on my project?
A team assembled around the need: a business analyst, an AI engineer, a project manager, a QA profile. The same people from the first day to the last, and nothing is subcontracted. The person you speak to in the first conversation is the person who delivers.
How much of my own time will this take?
About two hours a week. A forty-five minute demo every fortnight, plus answers when a business decision blocks us. It is the one item we cannot take off your hands: nobody knows your trade in your place.
What do you expect from us?
A single point of contact who can decide, access to the tools involved, and your real data rather than a test set. The projects that drift are almost always the ones where every decision goes up to a committee that meets once a month.
How do we start, contractually?
A signature on the quote, and that is all. The quote acts as the contract: it carries the scope, the schedule and the price in writing. No set-up fee, no subscription, no minimum term.
What budget do you work from?
Below 15,000 €, custom software rarely makes sense: an off-the-shelf tool or a light automation will cost you less, and we will tell you so. Above that, the question is no longer the amount but the expected return, which we quantify before starting.
Who decides that the scope has changed?
You do. When a request falls outside what is written, we do not quietly build it and invoice it later: we tell you it is out of scope, we price it, and you decide. A firm quote is only worth something if the boundary is visible from both sides.
And if you got the estimate wrong?
That is our problem. The price is firm: if we underestimated the work at constant scope, the gap is ours. That is exactly what “firm” means, and it is why we never quote before the scope is written.
And if the prototype doesn't convince us?
You stop there, and you owe us nothing. You keep the prototype and the written scope. If you want to consult another supplier with those documents, that is your right and it is no problem for us.
