01 · Underneath
Usually, everyone is working hard
The trouble is a vendor stretched too thin, skills that don't match the job, or two sides who mean different things by “done”.
A small senior team of tech experts, led by Sachin Garg, CTO
We get late projects moving again, with the team you already have.
We work alongside your developers, your agency, or both. We find what's really in the way, and stay until the work is in your users' hands.

Why we don't start over
Fixing what's broken is usually easier and better than starting over.
Sometimes all that's needed is one missing skill, so we look for people who have already solved your exact problem. We lead the work with your team, and make sure it ships. Replacing your agency is the last option.
We don't rent you developers. Anyone we help you find joins your team, not ours.
Same job: an audio ML feature
Just a great ML engineer
An ML engineer who has shipped audio before
A job post that says “great machine learning engineer” vs “a machine learning engineer who has worked on audio models, and plays a musical instrument” can turn a 3-month project into a 3-week sprint.
What we usually find
Everyone's working hard. Something's in the way.
We find the real problem, and fix it with the people you already have.
02 · What we change first
What counts as done
Every milestone, and every payment to a vendor, tied to a feature your users can actually use: released, stable, and complete.
03 · Estimates that add up
A quote, checked
On one project, a quote for four developers for three weeks came down to about one developer for three to four weeks.
Some of the work
Stalled work, moving again.

9 → 2 months
An AI project at a crawl, shipped once the right specialists joined
AI · VoIP, New York
13 → 4 people
Delivering twice as fast, with less overhead
Telehealth · Boston and Denmark

Budget overrun avoided: every payment tied to a milestone we could check
Virtual events · Saudi Arabia
9 → 2 months · AI · VoIP, New York
A New York based VoIP company had spent nine months on an AI project that was moving at a crawl: self-hosting ASR models and LLMs for transcribing and summarizing calls, to keep costs down at scale. We brought in the right specialists, and it shipped in two months. We also drove the GPU batch-processing optimizations.
13 → 4 people · Telehealth · Boston and Denmark
On a client's telehealth platform, the development team was 13 people across three countries. Over three years we helped bring it down to a remote team of four, by simplifying the architecture and the tech stack, upskilling the team, improving the process, and automating what we could. Less overhead made delivery twice as fast.
~30% · Virtual events · Saudi Arabia
A virtual-events platform, built by six teams in several countries. We sat between the founders and the development teams, turned what users needed into what the teams would build, and tied every payment to a milestone we could check. That kept an estimated 30% cost overrun from ever happening.
How we work
From stuck to self-running.
Your team takes on a little more each month, until it runs without us.
01 Weeks 1–3
Get clear
Where things really stand, including what leadership doesn't hear.
02 Early on
Make it visible
Honest updates, and a working build you can try every week.
03 Along the way
Build it up
Simpler architecture, vendors held to their word, gaps filled.
04 When you're ready
Hand off
Nothing depends on one person, including us.
01 · Weeks 1–3 What we look at first
- What you're trying to achieve, and where things really stand.
- The quality of the work so far. It can go either way: sometimes it's worse than it looks, and sometimes it's much better than it feels, simply because it isn't finished yet.
- The skills the job needs against the skills on the team.
- Whether your timeline and budget estimates are realistic.
- The gap between what we hear from leadership and what we hear from the people doing the work. That gap usually tells us the most.
02 · Early on Progress everyone can see
Status updates that say what's really done, in enough detail to act on, and a working build you can try every week. A lot of the misunderstandings we see start with updates that skip the details.
03 · Along the way Stronger, step by step
A simpler architecture, vendors held to what they promised, and specialists added where the team has gaps. Your people take on a little more each month.
04 · When you're ready A team that doesn't need us
Knowledge moves to your team, and we help you hire anyone who's missing. By then, no part of your product should depend on one person, including us.
Ways to start
Everything starts with one call.
By the end of it, we'll both know whether there's more to do, and which of the other two options fits.
01 · Start here
A first call
$500
- 90 minutes with Sachin on your real problem
- Real answers and clear next steps on the calls themselves
- Up to two follow-ups, with you or your team
- Not worth it? One click, full refund
The right first step for nearly everyone.
Some teams take the solutions and run with them on their own. That's a perfectly good outcome.
02 · After the call
A fixed-scope review
$3.5–6K Fixed price, 2–3 weeks
A close look at the project, the team, and any vendors, with solutions worked out alongside your team.
- The code, the team, and any vendor contracts
- Whether your timeline and budget estimates are realistic
- Solutions to the problems we find, worked out together with you and your team
03 · After the call
Working together
$8–12K a month or a fixed-scope project
Our senior team works the plan with your people, through to a planned hand-off.
- Sachin sets direction and checks the work
- Delivery led week to week, alongside your team
- A planned hand-off to your own team
Book your first call.
Bring whoever on your team knows the project best.
Why is the first call paid?
Because it's working time on your problem, and you get real answers on the call itself. It also covers up to two follow-ups.
Will you replace our developers?
No. We work with the team you have, and help you find anyone who's missing. They join your team, not ours. We don't rent you developers.
Will you rewrite it from scratch?
Rarely. We make changes in small, safe steps until shipping is routine again.
Can you work with our current agency?
Yes. Often the agency is doing its best, and trust has worn thin on both sides. Replacement is the last option.
