Cost band before build
Scope, architecture and a fixed cost band you approve. Change requests are priced and approved in writing, never absorbed silently.
Company · Why DOTFY
Every reason a software project fails — and what we do about each one
Buyers do not fear the build. They fear the overrun, the handover, the vendor who disappears. Here is the contractual and operational answer to each.

The short version
The comparison sheet, written honestly
Most agencies win on price and lose on the third change request. Most large firms win on brand and staff the project with juniors. We are deliberately in neither position.
You approve a cost band before build starts. The people in the pitch are the people in the sprints. Every fortnight there is a working demo on real data — not a status deck.
And if we are the wrong fit for what you need, we will tell you in the first call rather than the fourth month.
How we operate
Six commitments that shape every engagement
The pitch team is the build team
No bait-and-switch to juniors. The architect who scoped it stays through delivery and handover.
Demo, not deck
A working demo on real data every two weeks. If a sprint slips, you hear it that Friday, not at the milestone.
Security taken seriously
Threat modelling, dependency scanning, penetration testing on request and a security review before launch.
Documentation as a deliverable
Architecture notes, runbooks and handover sessions are in the contract, so your team is never hostage to ours.
Support with named SLAs
Response and resolution times in writing, monitoring in place, and a monthly enhancement pool that carries forward.

Step by step
The sequence, in the open
- Risk 01
01. Scope creep eats the budget
Fixed cost band, written change control and a scope baseline signed by both sides.
- Risk 02
02. Juniors do the real work
Named senior pod, published CVs, and the architect accountable through handover.
- Risk 03
03. Nobody can maintain it
Documentation, runbooks, code walkthroughs and full IP transfer at close.
- Risk 04
04. The vendor vanishes after launch
SLA-backed AMC with the same team, monitoring, and a quarterly roadmap review.
“The security review passed on the first pass. That has never happened here before.”
