The relationship
Hire one senior technology team to decide and do the work.
We become the technology team for established businesses that need software, automation, and integrations to grow but do not want to hire and manage an internal engineering department. You hire one team we hold accountable — not hours or individual developers.
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute Fit Call. From there, most companies do a $5K two-week Technical Diagnostic, and a technology team for one core operation starts at $20K/month.
How an engagement starts
-
Step 1 · Free
Fit Call
30 minutes. Tell us what is slowing growth and where technology gets in the way. We say if we can help and if a Technical Diagnostic makes sense.

Step 2 · $5K
Technical Diagnostic
Two weeks. We map one core operation, show what it costs you, and give you a build-or-buy plan. The $5K fee applies to your first month if you continue.

Step 3 · From $20K/mo
Ongoing Technology Team
One senior team decides what matters and does the work, month after month, as long as it works for both of us.

Technology Team for One Core Operation
$20K/month
One senior team decides what matters, then designs, builds, and runs the software and connections for one core operation. We measure success simply: fewer people doing manual work, fewer breakdowns, faster projects.
- Decide what gets built and why, including what to skip
- Help set priorities and direction with your leadership
- Spot risks and chances to improve before they become emergencies
- Build, integrate, test, ship, and keep improving the system
You bring business goals. We handle technology decisions and the work.

$40K+/month
One senior team working across multiple critical systems or business lines. Starts at $40K/month and scales with scope.
- Stay accountable for speed and reliability
- Set technical direction with operations leaders
- Build and improve platforms and workflows
- Work across several projects with little hand-holding

$5K fixed · two weeks
In two weeks, we map the software, connections, and manual work in one core operation. We show how many people and dollars it wastes and give you a build-or-buy plan. The full $5K fee applies to your first month if you continue.
- Map the systems, integrations, and manual work holding the operation together
- Quantify operational cost, risk, and key-person exposure
- Propose architecture, sequence, and a roadmap

What exists
The tools, connections, and workarounds holding the operation together.
What is at risk
One-person risk, breakdown risk, and problems coming next.
What to do first
What to fix first — and what to skip on purpose.

What you are really choosing between
At $20K to $40K+ a month, the question is not whether this is cheap. It is whether this is the right move compared to the real alternatives.
Versus hiring
Safer than a single senior hire
A strong engineering lead takes months to find and can leave with everything they know about your systems in their head. Here a senior team is in place from week one, and that knowledge lives with the firm instead of one person’s notice period.
Versus standing still
Cheaper than a system that fails
A stalled rebuild, missed launch, or breakdown in a critical workflow costs far more than the monthly fee. When we rebuilt Cadence’s platform, monthly hosting dropped by more than 90%. Doing nothing was the expensive choice.
Versus project vendors
One team that stays accountable
A project vendor is hired for one deliverable. Our team helps decide what to do, does the work, and stays involved after launch as priorities change.
Proof
What the relationship looks like in practice
These are not projects we hand off and forget. They are systems we continue to support and improve.

Questions we get before the call
Why a monthly fee instead of a fixed project?
Fixed projects push vendors to cut corners when things change, and every surprise becomes a change order. A flat monthly fee keeps us focused on your top priority as it shifts, and telling you to do less work does not cost us anything.
What does the team handle day to day?
We do not wait for tickets. We decide what gets built and why, flag reliability problems before they blow up, and keep improving after launch. You share the business need; our senior team decides and does the work.
Is your team US-based?
Yes. The team is based in the United States, primarily out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. You work directly with the people making the technical and delivery decisions.
Can we change models later?
Yes, with 30 days’ notice. Everyone starts with a free Fit Call, then most companies do a Technical Diagnostic before hiring us as the technology team for one core operation. Scope can expand when technology becomes central to more of the business.
Start with a conversation, not an invoice.
Step one is a free 30-minute Fit Call: what is limiting the business, where technology is in the way, and whether we are the right team to help. If a $5K two-week Technical Diagnostic is the right next move, we will say so on that call.
The full Technical Diagnostic fee applies to your first month if you continue.
