Development Services

IDEA TO PRODUCT. IN A YEAR OR LESS. FIXED RISK.

Full-risk capitated technology and company development contracts. Binary outcomes. Fixed date. At-risk capitated payment held in escrow, released on verified delivery.

A new model for VC, tech incubation, and business development

The Reality

Conventional development
has a 69% failure rate.

Typical Spend Before First Product
$2M–$4M
over 10–20 months of conventional team-based development
Guarantee of Delivery
None
under standard time-and-materials and retainer models

Adding people doesn't fix it. A 15-person team rarely produces 15x the output of one engineer. Industry data consistently shows 4–6x at best — before meeting tax and integration failures erode what remains.

This is what the industry accepts as standard.

A Different Model

Capped downside.
Binary outcome.
Fixed date.

Full-Risk
Capitated

Fixed price for agreed scope. If it costs me more to build, I absorb it. Your bill does not move.

Binary
Outcomes

You accept the product or reject it. No partial payment for partial delivery. No lingering disputes.

Fixed
Date

Delivery date locked at signing. Idea to production, often in a year or less.

What you bring

Your own dedicated QA team embedded for the full build. They test, review, and take final acceptance — which is how the codebase, the system, and the operational knowledge genuinely transfer. No handoff gap.

Both parties have skin in the game

Your risk: a non-refundable exclusivity fee proportional to scope. Capped. The at-risk capitated payment sits in escrow until your QA team accepts delivery.

My risk: a fixed price and a fixed date. The at-risk payment is only released on acceptance. If I mis-scope, I absorb the overrun. If I miss the date, I eat the cost. Nobody underwrites that behind a fixed-date guarantee unless they already know what they can do.

How the fee works

Each build starts with a non-refundable exclusivity fee — my agreement to take no other work for the duration. Proportional to scope. Paid upfront or in installments. The at-risk capitated balance sits in escrow, released on your QA team's acceptance.

A Running Business
Not a prototype. A company serving users and processing payments on day one.
Complete Technology Stack
Backend, frontend, mobile, desktop, cloud, CI/CD. Every layer your company needs to operate independently.
Trained Operator
Your technical lead is embedded through the build, reviewing and learning as the system is made.
