AI-Accelerated Sprint.

One sprint, one outcome. Senior staff, full ownership, AI tools to compress build cycles where they help.

• 01
  Senior engineer + designer pairedNo junior pods. The people on the call are the people on the keyboard. Code and design move together; design isn't a separate handoff phase.
• 02
  AI-accelerated build pipelineClaude Code, Cursor, Copilot — used to compress first drafts, scaffolding, repetitive logic, and test generation. Every line is reviewed and owned by the senior engineer who shipped it. We won't ship code we can't explain.
• 03
  Weekly Friday demos11am Eastern. You see what shipped that week. Recording sent to your team. No quarterly status reports.
• 04
  Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timelineThe number you sign for is the number you pay. If the scope shifts mid-sprint, we tell you what changes and price it before any work happens.
• 05
  Production-ready outputDeployed, monitored, documented. Not a demo build that needs to be “productionized” later. Same code you'd write if you'd built it yourself, just delivered faster.
• 06
  Full handoverCode, deployment, secrets, runbooks, documentation. You own everything. You can fire us on day 1 of week 13 and keep building.

Same operating cadence as our retainers, time-boxed to the sprint length.

• Mon
  Sprint planning30 minutes. Review the backlog, scope the week, commit to outcomes. Yours to attend or skip — minutes posted in Teams either way.
• Daily
  Async standup in TeamsThree lines per person: yesterday, today, blockers. Posted by 10am Eastern.
• Wed
  Mid-sprint check-in15 minutes. Catch scope drift early. Optional.
• Fri
  Demo & retro11am Eastern. Show what shipped. 10-minute retro after. Recording sent to your team.
• End
  Handover & deployFinal week reserved for production deploy, documentation, knowledge transfer. Live at sprint end, not “ready for QA” at sprint end.

The sprint is the right shape when:

• +
  Post-Discovery builds with a defined scopeYou came out of a Discovery Sprint with a roadmap and a price. Now you ship it.
• +
  MVP launches with a real deadlinePilot date, fundraise demo, partner integration. You need a working product by a specific date and you need certainty on cost.
• +
  Feature releases that need senior bandwidthYour team has the roadmap but lacks the capacity to ship a specific feature on the timeline. A sprint slots in for it.
• +
  Microsoft-stack buildsSharePoint, Power Platform, Teams apps, Azure-based AI workloads. AJ leads the technical architecture; we ship the Microsoft side as cleanly as we ship anything else.
• +
  Replatform / rebuild engagementsAn existing product needs to move off legacy. The sprint shape works because the destination is known; the work is execution, not exploration.

Where this shape would frustrate everyone:

• —
  Scope-unclear projectsIf you can't describe the deliverable in one sentence, start with a Discovery Sprint. Fixed-fee on a fuzzy scope ends badly.
• —
  Ongoing work without a defined endpointContinuous build is what the Fractional Team retainer is for. Sprints have a terminus.
• —
  Sub-$25k engagementsThe floor exists because two senior people working for 4 weeks costs what it costs. Below the floor, the work quality breaks.
• —
  “Just fix this one bug” requestsIf the scope is hours, not weeks, hourly consulting is the right shape. Available to existing clients at $90/hour.
