Our Process:
We welcome the opportunity to discuss your application needs with you. If based on our initial conversation it appears we might be of service, then we will arrange a meeting to discuss your application requirements and gain a mutual understanding of the overall scope of your project.
After meeting with us, if you decide to engage our services, our first step is to create your application architecture and project definition. This is a detailed, password protected extranet describing the objective, user interactions, database model, software architecture and project plan needed to accomplish your requirements and goals. This process normally takes approximately 2 weeks, during which time we will be in frequent contact with you to describe technology options, and ensure the application design meets your requirements.
Once the architecture and project definition is complete, development proceeds according to the project plan, which is divided into development phases approximately two weeks in length. We work with you to determine the priorities for each phase, giving you complete control over project scope. Project status is updated in real time as work is completed.

Our focus on architecture and advanced automation supports a software development life-cycle (SDLC) characterised by decreasing effort for increasing returns:
Rates and additional information:
- Architecture and Project Definition: We normally charge $2,500 in advance for this phase, with an additional $2,500 on acceptance. We guarantee your application can be created and run as described. For a sample, see the description of our own TaskHeap application (thd/opensource).
- Development: We are highly skilled architects and developers who charge for our time at domestic market rates, however we compete cost effectively with offshore development through automation, which handles the bulk of our work consistently and at zero cost.
- Training and other services: Flexible.
Initial consultation is always free. We are open to negotiated
arrangements with partners, startups and non-profit organizations.
