Bring the problem. That is enough to start.
You do not need a specification, a budget worked out to the pound, or any technical detail. If you can describe what is going wrong, we can take it from there.
Ryukin Ltd, United Kingdom. Happy to sign an NDA before any detail is shared. All existing client work is under one.
Free, about half an hour, no preparation needed.
Nothing
The first conversation is free and there is no obligation at the end of it. We are working out whether we can help you, and you are working out whether you want us to.
Just the problem
No specification, no requirements document, no technical vocabulary. Describe what is not working in whatever words you would use to explain it to a colleague.
A straight answer
Whether it is buildable, roughly what it involves, and whether we are the right people. If we are not, we will say so on the call rather than write a proposal anyway.
None of this is required
It makes the first call shorter, and the answer more useful to you.
- What the system needs to do, and what happens instead today.
- Whether this is something new or something that already exists.
- Roughly what the problem costs you, in time or in money.
- Your timeline, and whether there is a fixed date behind it.
Four steps, no surprises
The free call, to work out what you need and whether we fit.
A written scope with a fixed price, before anything starts.
Staged payments as the build progresses.
The system is yours outright on final payment.
We work best with established businesses that have a real budget behind the work. We are not the cheapest option and we do not take equity in place of payment. If that rules us out, better to know it now than three meetings from now.
