FAQS.10

Questions, answered.

We can usually kick off within days of signing, and a full senior team can be in place within 72 hours.
Yes. From pre-seed prototypes to Series C platforms. We scope to stage.
Yes — the smallest engagement is one Principal Architect at $150/h (about $24K/month full-time), embedded in your team. Every team is principal-led.
AI is a core practice: agents, copilots, RAG, automations, internal tooling.
No. AI is our lead practice, but most roadmaps need more: web and mobile products, SaaS platforms, APIs and integrations, cloud and legacy modernization, or extra senior engineers on your team. We take all of it.
Often, yes. We run a 2-week parallel evaluation so the switch is de-risked.
We are based in Argentina (UTC−3) — a rare sweet spot: effectively the same hours as LATAM, 1–2 hours ahead of US Eastern (4–5 of the West Coast), and a solid morning overlap with Europe. In practice, we work in your timezone.
Yes. Monthly retainers, maintenance SLAs and handoff packages available.
