A fixed price, a deploy every day, and code you own
Scope and price agreed on day one. A working deploy you can open at the end of every day. The repository and the cloud account in your name from the first commit.
The method behind it is Specification-Led Delivery™: you approve a written specification of what should exist, coding agents build it in parallel, and one engineer reviews where a mistake is expensive.
A team's output. One engineer accountable.
One engineer writes the specification and reviews what comes back; coding agents produce it in parallel, across the whole codebase at once. You get the capacity of a team without the coordination overhead of one, and a single person answering for the result.
Typing stops being the constraint, so the schedule is set by how fast decisions get made, not by headcount. The thinking happens up front; the rest is execution.
- A vague idea. Agents build the wrong thing faster.
- Decisions that take days on your side.
- App-store review and third-party systems outside our control.
Hire, agency, or us: who carries the risk.
Most teams weigh the same three options. They differ less on speed than on who pays when the estimate is wrong, and what you are left holding.
Scroll the table →
| Hiring a developer or small team | A traditional agency | Rovak Solutions | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to a first working version | Weeks to recruit before any code, then onboarding | Discovery and a proposal before the first sprint | A written scope on day one, and a deploy you can open at the end of each day |
| How you pay | Salary and recruiting costs, whether or not the work goes well | Hours, estimated up front and billed as spent | A fixed price against a written scope; hourly only for advisory |
| Who carries an overrun | You. The salary runs either way | Usually you, as a change request | We do. A misjudged estimate is finished at the agreed price |
| Who you deal with | The developer, whom you also have to manage | An account manager between you and the engineers | The engineer who writes the spec and reviews the code, named before you sign |
| What you hold at the end | Whatever the person leaves written down when they go | A codebase, sometimes tied to their hosting or components | Your repo and cloud accounts, documented for whoever comes next |
| Long-term capacity | Yes. They stay and learn your business | For as long as you keep paying | Not the aim. We hand over, and help onboard your hires |
If you need someone in the building for years, hire. If you need a defined product delivered at a known price, and then to own it outright, that is what we sell.
Scope
Day 1
You leave day one with a written scope, a fixed price and a date. We cut the work to the smallest thing that proves the idea and write down what "done" means in terms you can check, in a conversation rather than a form.
Build
The bulk of the engagement
You get a working deploy at the end of each day, so there is never a week without visible progress. Coding agents work in parallel across the codebase while we review the design, the data model and the paths where a mistake is expensive.
Harden
Before launch
Tests, error handling, the failure paths, and the security defaults around secrets, access and backups. This is the stage that makes a fast build safe to launch.
Handover
The end
Documentation, a walkthrough, and the decisions written down with their reasoning. We are finished when you can operate what we built without us.
One engineer answers for what ships
Agent output is a draft, reviewed by an engineer who has run production systems for fifteen years. Review goes where a mistake is expensive: the data model, the interfaces between parts, and anything touching money, authentication or data loss. Types, tests and a narrow set of conventions hold the rest, as on any team too large for one person to read everything.
Tests and documentation come as standard
When generation is cheap, tests, types and documentation are cheap too, so speed is never traded for quality. The code is the boring, obvious version of everything, because that is what a stranger can maintain in two years.
Check it during the build
The repository is open to you from day one. Ask for the test coverage, or for any decision walked through with the alternative we rejected.
Six commitments, written into the contract.
These are in the agreement you sign. Hold us to them.
You own the code from the first commit.
The repository is yours, not licensed to you. There is no vendor copy, no shared component library you have to keep paying for, and nothing you would have to negotiate to walk away with.
It runs in your accounts.
Cloud, domain and third-party services are provisioned under your billing from the start, not migrated to you at the end. We hold access while we work and lose it when we stop.
The price is agreed before code.
A build with a definable outcome is quoted as a fixed price against a written scope. Advisory work is hourly, because there is no deliverable to fix a price against.
An overrun is our cost.
On a fixed scope, if we misjudged the estimate we finish it anyway at the agreed price. If you add to the scope we price the addition before starting it, so nothing arrives as a surprise on an invoice.
One named engineer is accountable.
You meet the person responsible for the work before you sign, and they stay responsible for it. Not a pool, not a rotating account manager, and not an agent nobody is answering for.
Handover is documented, always.
We are finished when you can operate what we built without us. That means a walkthrough, a README that works on a clean machine, and the decisions written down with the reasoning behind them.
If a clause here is missing from the agreement you are sent, we add it before you sign.
Tell us the one thing it has to do.
Send a few lines. Within one business day you get a scope, a fixed price and a date, or the smaller first version we would build instead.
