Developer Holding Your IP Hostage
The freelancer has all the credentials, the repo, and the deployment keys. They know you can't replace them without losing months of work. This is a leverage problem, not a technical one.
We embed as your temporary technical leadership — protecting your IP, holding your dev team accountable, and ensuring they build scalable code you actually own.

You're a non-technical founder approving invoices for sprint work you cannot validate. Developers are billing 40 hours for tasks that should take 4 hours.
Every new requirement gets quoted as a massive project. The original estimate has tripled. You have no way to tell if the complexity is real or manufactured.
We conduct an immediate audit of all repositories, deployment environments, API keys, and domain registrars — establishing clean, founder-controlled access to every asset.
We attend standups, review PRs, and validate sprint deliverables against the agreed specification. Developers know every commit is scrutinised by a senior engineer.
We draft a bulletproof Software Requirement Specification that becomes the legal basis of your development contract — eliminating scope inflation and defining acceptance criteria for every feature.
