START A PROJECT / FINAL VENTURE

TELL US
WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO
BUILD.

A new product, an existing system that's stuck, or something that needs rebuilding. Give us the context and we'll figure out the next useful step.

01 / PROJECT CONTEXT

START WITH
THE CONTEXT.

You don't need a polished brief. A useful conversation starts with understanding what exists, what needs to change, and what's getting in the way.

02 / WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT?

WHAT ARE WE
LOOKING AT?

Select all categories that apply to your system or product plans.

THE PROBLEM

WHAT NEEDS
TO CHANGE?

Describe what is blocked, slow, unreliable, expensive, hard to maintain, or preventing the product from moving forward.

A FEW SENTENCES IS ENOUGH.
04 / WHERE IS THE PRODUCT TODAY?

05 / WHERE DO YOU NEED HELP?

ENOUGH CONTEXT TO START A CONVERSATION.

You don't need a finished specification. Send what you know. We'll work out the useful next step.

WE READ EVERY PROJECT REQUEST. IF THERE'S A FIT, WE'LL REPLY WITH THE BEST USEFUL NEXT STEP.

GOOD FIT

WE'RE MOST
USEFUL WHEN
THE PRODUCT
MATTERS.

01SOMETHING REAL NEEDS TO SHIP

Not endless exploration. There is a product, system, or business problem that needs to move forward.

02ENGINEERING DECISIONS MATTER

Reliability, architecture, performance, operations, or long-term maintainability affect the outcome.

03YOU WANT OWNERSHIP, NOT OUTPUT

You need people willing to understand the problem and own the engineering decisions required to solve it.

PROBABLY NOT THE RIGHT FIT

One-off cosmetic changes. Staff augmentation with no product ownership. Work where the only requirement is “build exactly this.”

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE / 02
PREFER EMAIL?

SKIP
THE FORM.

If writing it out is easier, send the project context directly.
