- Welcome to Agency OS.
01How We Work
One team. Zero handoffs.
Senior-only team
No juniors learning on your project. Everyone who touches your product has shipped software for eight-plus years. You get the A-team because there is no B-team.
Weeks, not quarters
Most clients hold a working prototype in fourteen days. Startup speed, enterprise rigor — weekly demos, tight feedback loops, zero wasted sprints.
You own everything
Every line of code, every design file, every system diagram is yours. Full IP transfer, open repos, and a team built to make itself unnecessary.
02What We Do
Three disciplines. One team.
App Development & Design
Concept to App Store in 14 weeks.
Native iOS, cross-platform, and web applications built by a senior team that ships fast without cutting corners. You own every line.
AI Agents & Automation
Your next hire should be an agent.
AI systems that think, decide, and execute — support agents that absorb 80% of ticket volume, processing agents that turn days into minutes. Every decision logged. Every escalation human-controlled.
Strategy & Consulting
Clarity before code.
Strategic positioning, product-market alignment, and operational architecture for teams doing $2M–$50M. Not a deck — a decision-making system your whole room can use.
03Selected Work
Real products, in real hands. Shipped, not slideware.

Engagements
We stay small so every client gets the senior team.
We stay small on purpose. Four engagements a quarter means the people who scope your project are the people who build it — and the demo you see on Friday is real.
05How It Works
From first call to first release.
Transparent by default. No surprises. No hand-waving.
-
Weeks 1–2
Discovery
Deep immersion in your business, users, and constraints. We scope by impact, not hours — and tell you plainly if we are not the right fit.
-
Weeks 3–5
Design & proof
A working prototype you can hold, not a deck you have to imagine. Direction gets cheap to change while it still should be.
-
Weeks 6–12
Build
Weekly demos in production-grade code. Tested, typed, documented — the kind of codebase your next hire thanks you for.

Week 14
Launch + 30 days
We ship it, then stay — thirty days of post-launch support while the product meets the real world. Then it runs without us. That is the point.

07FAQ
Everything you’d ask on the first call.
Straight answers on process, pricing, and pace.
Ask us directlyHow does an engagement actually work?
One senior team, end to end. Two weeks of discovery, a working prototype by day fourteen, weekly demos through the build, launch around week fourteen, and thirty days of post-launch support. No handoffs, no subcontractors.
What does it cost?
App development typically runs $40K–$120K. AI agent sprints run $25K–$75K, with enterprise transformations beyond that. Strategy engagements start at $25K for a two-week diagnostic. We scope by impact, and we will tell you the number before you commit to anything.
How fast is “fast”?
Most projects ship in eight to sixteen weeks; the average is fourteen. You will see a working prototype in the first two, because momentum you can hold beats a roadmap you have to trust.
Why only four engagements per quarter?
Because the promise is the senior team — and seniors do not scale by hiring juniors and relabeling the org chart. Four at a time is what keeps every client working with the people they met on the first call.
Do you work with startups or enterprises?
Both, with the same team. Funded startups come for speed; enterprise teams ($2M–$50M) come for rigor. The overlap is the point: startup pace with enterprise discipline.
What happens after launch?
Thirty days of post-launch support are built into every engagement. After that, everything is yours — code, repos, design files, documentation — and the system is built to run without us.
Why not just hire in-house?
For the annual cost of one senior hire, you get an entire senior team — engineering, design, and strategy — that has shipped together for years. And when the work is done, you are not carrying the payroll.
