Agency of record — monthly product capacity without the churn
Hiring a new agency every quarter resets context. A retainer pod keeps roadmap, design, and eng memory in one place.
Who it’s for: For companies who’ve outgrown project-only relationships and need continuous shipping capacity.
We won’t take this if: you want unlimited work for a tiny fee, or no stakeholder available for weekly decisions.

IP?
Yours. Always.
