FOR FOUNDERS // STARTUP

We build the thing you raise on.

Scope priced before the first sprint, code and accounts in your name from the first commit, and a demo on real data every week.

THE TERM SHEET

Four terms, stated plainly.

The things founders usually discover in month three, written down before month one.

  1. Fixed scope, priced at the scoping call

    We quote once we have seen the product and the systems it touches. The number does not move because a sprint ran long.

  2. Your cloud, your repositories, your accounts

    Code, infrastructure and credentials are yours from the first commit. If we part ways, everything keeps running without us.

  3. Weekly demos on real data

    You watch the product work, or fail, every week. Status decks are not a substitute for a running build.

  4. The team is named and on the site

    You can see who builds it before you sign, and they are the people in your reviews afterwards.

AND WHAT WE WILL TELL YOU NO ABOUT

  • If AI is not the answer for your product, we say so at the scoping call rather than billing for it.
  • We do not start building before the scope is written down and agreed.
  • We do not hand over a roadmap deck in place of a working build.

// TERMS AS WE WORK THEM, NOT MARKETING NUMBERS

THE BUILD LINE

Scope, build, launch, run.

The same four stations every engagement runs through, so you always know which one you are standing in.

  1. 01 / Before anything is written

    Scope

    We take the product apart into what must exist at launch and what can wait. You leave with the scope, the stack and the number.

    Product engineering consulting ↗
  2. 02 / Weekly, on real data

    Build

    Design and engineering run together, in your repositories, with a demo every week that you can click.

    Product engineering ↗
  3. 03 / Into your accounts

    Launch

    Deployment, monitoring and the handover documentation your next engineer will read, all inside infrastructure you own.

    DevOps engineering ↗
  4. 04 / Only if you want it

    Run

    Support and operations on retainer once you are live, or a clean handover to the team you hire. Both are normal endings.

FAQ // QUESTIONS

Before the scoping call.

Direct answers about ownership, pricing and what happens after launch.

Do we own the code and the infrastructure?

Yes, from the first commit. Code, infrastructure and credentials live in your cloud, your repositories and your accounts throughout, not ours. If the engagement ends, everything keeps running without us.

How is the work priced?

Scope is written down and priced at the scoping call, once we have seen the product and the systems it touches. The number does not move because a sprint ran long.

What if AI is not the right answer for our product?

We say so at the scoping call rather than billing for it. Cutting an idea at the scoping stage is a normal outcome, not a failed engagement.

How do we see progress before launch?

A demo on real data every week that you can click and use. Status decks are not offered as a substitute for a running build.

Who actually builds it?

A named team, published on the site before you sign, and the same people who turn up in your reviews afterwards.

What happens after launch?

Either support and operations on retainer once you are live, or a clean handover with the documentation your next engineer will read. Both are normal endings and neither is a penalty.

Has HyScaler shipped products of its own?

Yes. HyScaler builds, runs and sells eight products under its own name, each on its own domain and each one you can open without a demo request. They are listed on this page.

What does the first conversation cost?

Nothing. Thirty minutes with an engineer who has shipped products like yours, after which you know the scope, the stack and roughly the number, whether or not you build it with us.

Bring the problem. We will tell you what it takes.
