SYS_PROTOCOL // WORKING WITH THE LAB

Work with the lab.

A small, dedicated dev team, start to finish. You talk to the people writing your code, you get a written price before anything starts, and you leave owning every line of it.

SYS_PROTOCOL // THE BUILD

How a build runs

  1. 15 min · free

    Consult

    We talk through the problem, the people who'll use the tool, and what "done" looks like. No charge and no obligation.

  2. A few days

    Scope & estimate

    You get a written plan: what gets built, in what order, and a price range. Nothing starts until you've agreed to it.

  3. Weeks, not months

    Build in the open

    Work ships in small working pieces you can click through, with regular check-ins. Feedback lands in the next round instead of at the end.

  4. Final week

    Handoff & docs

    Deployment, a walkthrough for your team, and a full set of handoff docs. The code, the accounts, and the keys are yours.

SYS_HANDOFF // EVERY BUILD SHIPS DOCUMENTED

Handoff docs, every time

Every piece of software the lab ships comes with documentation written for the next developer: how it's built, how to run and deploy it, where the data lives, and why the big decisions went the way they did. If you ever want more work done and would rather not work with me, take the repo and the docs to any developer and they'll know the codebase on day one.

  • Architecture overview
  • Setup, run & deploy guide
  • Data model & integrations
  • Decision log
  • Accounts & credentials checklist

FAQ // THE USUAL QUESTIONS

Before you ask

How long does a typical project take?

It depends on scope. Automation or small internal tool: 1–2 weeks. Website or focused web app: 2–5 weeks. Custom platform (CRM, portal, wizard): 6–12 weeks. Work ships in small pieces you can click through along the way, and your written estimate pins the timeline down before anything starts.

How is project pricing structured?

Every project starts with a free 15-minute call. If it's a fit, you get a written plan with a price range before any work begins, and nothing starts until you agree to it. Projects start at $1,500. Time is tracked and itemized so you see exactly what you paid for, and there are no per-seat fees or monthly licenses: you pay for the build, then you own it.
