FAQ

Questions clients ask first

Straight answers—no buzzwords. If yours is not here, use the contact form and we will respond directly.

Do you work outside South Africa?

Yes. We are Johannesburg-based with remote-capable delivery—many of our engagements blend on-site discovery with distributed engineering. Time zones are agreed up front so execution stays predictable.

What does an engagement typically look like?

We start with constraints and outcomes: traffic, compliance, integrations, and who owns run-state. From there we propose a phased plan—often discovery, build, hardening, handover—with milestones tied to measurable risk reduction.

Can you operate systems you did not originally build?

Where it makes sense, yes—we take on modernization, hardening, and ongoing stewardship. We are candid when a rewrite or vendor change is the cheaper path than patching forward.

How do you price?

We use time-and-materials or milestone-based statements of work depending on clarity of scope. High-trust relationships get transparent burn reporting and regular steering so budgets stay aligned with decisions.
