# Hire us for a question, a quarter or the long haul.

> Five ways to work with us. Three are consulting engagements, where we do our best work: an advisory sprint, a fractional architect and a proof of concept. Two are delivery: a phased project, or a team that stays for years. Pick the shape that fits; we will tell you if another one fits better.

## Advisory Sprint (1–4 weeks)

For the decision you can't afford to get wrong: a few weeks of focused work, then a clear answer in writing.

**Suits:** Teams facing a decision that is expensive to get wrong: a platform choice, an AI pilot that stalled, a system nobody wants to touch.

**What you get:**

- A short discovery with the people who know the system
- Hands-on review of code, architecture and data
- A written recommendation with options, costs and risks
- A walkthrough with your team and leadership

**How it starts:** A conversation about the question, then an agreed scope and timeline in writing.

## Fractional Architect (A few days a month)

Senior architecture judgement on call every month, for teams not yet ready for a full-time hire.

**Suits:** Growing teams that need senior architecture judgement every week, but not a full-time hire yet.

**What you get:**

- Regular design reviews and planning sessions
- Architecture decision records
- Review of critical changes before they ship
- Mentoring for your senior engineers

**How it starts:** A short onboarding to learn your systems and people, then an agreed number of days each month.

## Proof of Concept (2–6 weeks)

Evidence before budget. We test the idea on your data and report what we find, good or bad.

**Suits:** An idea that needs evidence before budget: a RAG assistant, an agent, an integration, a new product.

**What you get:**

- Agreed success criteria before any code
- Working code on your real data
- Measured results against the criteria
- A recommendation: build, change course or stop

**How it starts:** We agree the question the proof must answer and how we will measure it.

## Project Delivery (Phased)

A defined system, designed and built by us end to end, delivered in phases with checkpoints you control.

**Suits:** A defined product or platform that needs a team to design and build it end to end.

**What you get:**

- Architecture and plan for the first phases
- Working releases every few weeks
- Tests, deployment and monitoring
- Documentation and handover, or ongoing support

**How it starts:** A short scoping phase turns your goals into a phased plan with clear checkpoints.

## Long-term Delivery & Support (Years)

We're happy to stay for the long run: a steady team that keeps a business-critical system moving.

**Suits:** Business-critical systems that keep changing: new customers, new integrations, new rules.

**What you get:**

- A steady team that knows your systems
- Planned enhancements and integrations
- Fixes and upgrades
- Regular reviews of what to improve next

**How it starts:** Usually after a project we delivered, or after a handover from another team.

## How a first conversation works

1. **You describe the problem:** A few lines through the form is enough. No deck, no RFP.
2. **An architect replies:** With questions, not a brochure. Usually a short call follows.
3. **You get a written proposal:** Scope, approach, timeline and the engagement model that fits. You decide from there.

## Questions & answers

**Which engagement model should we start with?**

If the question is still fuzzy, an Advisory Sprint. If the idea is clear but unproven, a Proof of Concept. If the scope is known, Project Delivery. We will say so if another model fits better.

**Can we switch models later?**

Yes. Many engagements start as an Advisory Sprint or Proof of Concept and become Project Delivery or Long-term Delivery and Support.

**Do you work with teams outside India?**

Yes. Our clients and partners include companies in the UAE, Singapore and the US, and work runs remotely with visits where they help.

**Who do we contract with?**

InfoMover Technologies. Contracts, invoices and taxes are handled by InfoMover Technologies.

**Do you provide individual contract engineers?**
