Bring the idea. In a month, you’ll have a working business.

For a focused first version of a specific business, yes — that's exactly what the scoping sprint is for: agreeing, in advance, on a scope that's genuinely achievable in four weeks with a full AI toolkit directed by someone who's shipped products for two decades. It won't cover a sprawling platform or months of open-ended discovery, and we'll tell you plainly if your idea doesn't fit the format.

It is when it's made this way, and the safeguards are structural rather than promised. Output goes through an automated integration gate that runs the full test suite against the merged result and rejects the branch outright if anything goes red; repo-level checks refuse code that arrives without tests and catch accessibility and design-system drift. Then a veteran founder and product engineer reviews it against the same non-functional bar — security, performance, accessibility, long-term maintainability — that a senior engineer applies on any serious client project. Unsupervised AI output is genuinely risky. This isn't unsupervised.

Whichever frontier models are genuinely best at each part of the job on the day your build runs — deliberately not a single vendor, and deliberately not fixed. Reasoning-grade models handle architecture, hard logic and review; faster models handle volume; multiple agents run in parallel against written specs, each isolated in its own workspace. The orchestration layer, the integration gate and the convention checks around them are the part that stays constant, and they're the part that makes the output trustworthy. You aren't buying a subscription to a tool — you're buying the pipeline and the person directing it.

Because that reasoning never terminates — there is always a better model six months out — and because the improvement isn't accruing to you. It arrives for everyone at once, including everyone who might build what you're thinking of building. Being early in your own market is the one advantage that doesn't get handed out with the next release. And the models passed the bar for a focused first version a while ago: what sets your launch date now is scoping and judgement, not model capability. If something better lands mid-build, your build uses it — which model runs which job is a call made during your month, not a fixed part of what you bought.

Everything. Full source code, your own hosting and infrastructure accounts, all IP, and documentation to run and extend it. There's no dependency on us to keep the business running after handover — though 30 days of aftercare is included if anything needs a fix.

Only if you want to be. The handover is written so that walking away is genuinely viable — that's the point of it. If you'd rather keep shipping, there's a monthly retainer that keeps the product live and patched and puts an agreed slice of build time each month against whatever's next. And if cash is tighter than conviction at launch, an agreed share of revenue for a fixed term can stand in place of that monthly fee — capped, time-boxed, never equity, and never a perpetual cut. All of it is settled during the scoping sprint, before the build starts, rather than negotiated later when you'd have a live business and rather less room to argue. And whichever you choose, you keep Quotidian — the app the build ran on, licensed to you regardless, so you and whoever else is on your team can keep getting changes made without coming back to us — or hiring ahead of what you actually need.

It is the machine this whole operation runs on: the board every job is queued on, the agents that pick them up and work on copies of their own, the checks their work has to pass, and the one screen you and your team run it all from. Not only code — the marketing, the numbers, the research and the admin cross the same board here, and most of what crosses it is not code at all. It is not only for a founder with nobody to ask, either: a small cross-functional team gets more from it than one person does, because each of them can have work moving in a part of the business they could not have done themselves. Your build runs on it from day one, and at handover you get it as a desktop app of your own: licensed with the build, installed on your own machine, pointed at your business, with your board and your people already in it. It comes with every build whether or not you take a retainer, because a handover that leaves you unable to change what you own is not really a handover. What it does, feature by feature →

It's real work: a spec covering the exact feature set, integrations, and success criteria, which is what makes a fixed price and a fixed four-week date possible at all. You keep the spec regardless of what you decide next. If you proceed to the build, the full £1,000 is credited against the project fee.

A comparable first version from a UK agency typically runs £30,000 to £60,000 and takes two to three months, with the discovery phase alone billed at £2,000 to £8,000 before anything gets built. Here discovery is £1,000 and comes straight back off the fee, and the build is four weeks at a price fixed before you commit. But the saving isn't really the argument — the argument is that the number doesn't move. Pricing it lower would mean one of two things: rushing the review that makes AI output safe to own, or quietly making the difference back in change requests later. The change-request game is precisely what a fixed fee exists to end, so the fee is set where it can genuinely absorb a real month of work.

The scoping sprint will surface that early, before any fixed fee is agreed. From there we can usually cut a genuinely valuable first slice that does fit a month, or talk about a longer, phased engagement instead.

No equity, ever — not instead of the fee, not alongside it. This is fee-for-service, deliberately: it keeps the incentive squarely on shipping your business well and on time, rather than on acquiring a stake in it. Working like a cofounder for the month describes how the build runs, not what changes hands at the end of it. The post-launch revenue share is a different animal and worth not confusing with equity — it's a capped, time-boxed alternative to a monthly support fee, offered only once the build is delivered and paid for, and it's a way to pay for ongoing work out of what the business earns. It is not a claim on the company, its cap table, or its exit.

Registered charities, CICs, and clearly mission-driven tech-for-good ventures qualify. It's a straightforward conversation in the free consultation, not a formal application process.
