Engineering services.

Alongside the platform, a small team of engineers takes on a limited number of projects at a time: taking products to production, building them, bringing models into them, and looking after them afterwards. Clients own everything we write, and using the platform is never a condition.

Four kinds of engagement.

Each is a defined kind of work with written terms and a published starting price. We don't take open-ended hourly contracts.

  • Production readiness

    For a product that works but is not yet ready for paying customers. We review it, close the gaps that matter, and hand back a written report.

    From $3,000
    Fixed scope and price, usually two weeks
  • Product engineering

    Web applications, APIs and internal tools, designed and built with your team, in milestones you can use as they land.

    Milestones from $5,000
    Priced per milestone
  • AI integration

    Bringing models into a product so that they are dependable and their cost is understood: retrieval, tool use, evaluation, and a cost on every call.

    Milestones from $5,000
    Priced per milestone
  • Operations and care

    Monitoring, upkeep and incident response for systems we have built or reviewed, with a fixed allowance for small changes each month.

    From $400 a month
    Monthly, no minimum term

The usual path.

Most clients start with one project and stay for the upkeep. The platform is what makes the upkeep affordable.

  • Ready

    A production readiness review closes the gaps between a working product and one customers can rely on.

  • Running

    Sign-in, payments, data, messaging and model calls can move onto the platform, which replaces a stack of separate vendors with one bill and one audit trail.

  • Looked after

    Operations and care keeps it current and answers when something breaks, for a fixed monthly price.

How a project runs.

The same four steps every time, so you know what happens next.

  1. Conversation

    A short call about what exists, what is needed, and what a good outcome would be.

  2. Written scope

    Deliverables, price and dates in writing. Nothing starts until both sides agree to it.

  3. Delivery

    A shared repository from the first day and a review each week, so progress is always visible.

  4. Handover

    The code, the accounts and the documentation are yours. Hosting on Dianthan is optional.

Scope.

  • What we take on

    Web products and APIs, relational data, payments, authentication, cloud deployment, and anything that calls a model. Teams who want to understand and own what was built.

  • What we decline

    Native mobile applications, staff augmentation, and open-ended work without a defined outcome. Where we can, we refer you to someone better placed.

  • Contact
