Claim The Power Pair

Each session includes a pre-call questionnaire, transcription, and a written actionable artifact you own.

How a Session Works

  1. 1

    Questionnaire first

    A short pre-call questionnaire, returned at least 24 hours before each call so we hit the ground running.

  2. 2

    We meet

    A focused, recorded working session — we solve the actual problem together, not a sales call.

  3. 3

    You get the artifact

    A transcription plus a written, actionable plan you own and can act on immediately.

What Your Dev Hours Cover

Full-Stack Build

Ship features end to end — frontend, backend, data, and infra.

AI / LLM Integration

Wire models, agents, and tooling into your product, done right.

Architecture & Code Review

Design decisions and reviews that keep the codebase healthy.

Ship to Production

CI/CD, deploys, and the unglamorous work of going live.

Engagement Terms

  • Questionnaire first — every engagement starts with context before we meet.
  • Weekly reserved dev time with milestone tracking and a regular demo.
  • Billed monthly in advance; one month's notice to pause or close.
  • XL is exclusive — only one XL client is taken on at a time.

A Note on Availability

Seats fill up. The fastest path to priority access is to start now and move up a tier as your needs grow — reserved capacity goes to active clients first.
