You have the vision. You do not have a way to build it.

Five working days. A document that tells you what you’re actually asking for, what I’d build first, what I’d refuse to build — and a running piece of it.

The price doesn’t go down if it takes me longer, and it doesn’t go up if it takes me less. You’re buying the outcome and the date.

This is for a founder who holds the what and not the how: you have the vision, the money and the domain knowledge, and no engineering function to hand it to. A company of three to twenty people, funded by one of its own founders. Not a procurement department, because at that size there isn’t one — the person signing is the person whose money it is.

If that is not you, the rest of this page will make that clear quickly, which is the point of it.

What you get

A working system, built and run end to end. Architecture, build, infrastructure, operations. There is no spec for you to write first, no ramp plan, and nobody for you to manage.

That is Term 1 — Provenance: one named engineer accountable, with a fleet of AI agents doing the work under them. It is why this is fast, it is said here instead of hidden, and the way you check it is not by trusting me. It is by watching.

What that looks like, every week

Written progress before the meeting. A 30-minute meeting. A recorded demo where there is something to show. The proposed scope for the coming week, which you accept, cut or change.

And a board you can open at any hour without asking me, showing exactly what is being built while it is being built.

That is the whole trade: you get evidence instead of availability. No daily calls, no on-call, no guaranteed response speed. See exactly how a project runs, week by week — including the shape of the progress report and the board.

What it has produced

KIMA — an AI employee for German real-estate agencies, on a CRM-agnostic two-queue architecture. In the agencies’ hands, wired into each firm’s own CRM.

Ush — an AI meeting scheduler that turns an executive assistant’s tacit judgement into a transparent constraint engine.

Two more, anonymised because those clients are: a US personal-injury legal-tech platform got a complete AI document platform across eleven document categories. An enterprise HR-analytics platform had its data processing lag eliminated.

Ush is the one worth reading twice. Those stakeholders arrived holding UI prototypes they had already paid someone else to draw, and the shipped product replaced them — because the money had gone on a picture of the thing rather than on a thing that runs. That is the money this replaces: not a salary, and not a cheaper developer. The spend that produced something which does not run.

The price

EUR 20,000 per month. What the invoice counts is ownership of the technical roadmap plus its execution: I decide what gets built, in what order, and what we refuse — and it gets built. You are buying that, not a quantity of time, which is why speed is my problem to be good at rather than a discount you have to negotiate for.

The thing it replaces is not a salary. A founder without an engineering function pays for one by giving away thirty to fifty per cent of the company. This is a technical co-founder you do not have to give equity to, and you can stop at the end of any month under Term 2 — Cancellation.

And if you think I did not understand your business, you pay nothing and you keep the document — Term 8 — Your Judgement. It sits here at the bottom rather than the top because it is the last thing you should need to hear, not the first.

Then the terms

Business supply only. Not offered to consumers. All the terms are on the terms page — provenance, cancellation, your time, continuity and the price — along with IP, accountability and what happens to your system if I stop.

When you are ready, send the messy version of the idea.
