FAQ
Common questions.
Should we never hire in-house?
You should, for software that is core IP and a long-term advantage. We are the better choice for everything around it, and we can work alongside your team.
What if we want to bring it in-house later?
You own the software and data. We document everything and can hand over cleanly if you build a team later.
How does cost compare?
One monthly retainer is usually far less than the loaded cost of hiring, and you get a multidisciplinary team instead of a single hire.
Not sure whether to hire or outsource? We will be honest.
Book a call and we will tell you which path fits, even if that means hiring.
