Is this engagement right for you?
When to engage
When to engage
- One strategic project with a hard deadline (board, fundraise, compliance)
- Your team is fully loaded; hiring takes too long
- You need senior data + cloud expertise for a few weeks, not forever
- The work is well-scoped and the success criteria are clear
- You want code your team will operate post-handoff — not a black box
When NOT to engage
When NOT to engage
- Scope unclear — start with Stack Diagnostic first
- You need ongoing capacity, not a sprint (consider subscription)
- The work is a full stack build (use Quarter Stack instead)
- You're looking for offshore augmentation (we don't do that)
