Replace the per-seat licence with code you own
Software cut to your process, and paid SaaS you rent by the seat rewritten into code you own.
A subscription you pay per seat for a workflow that is really two tables and a queue is a rewrite waiting to happen. I take the paid tool apart, keep the ten percent your team actually uses, and rebuild it as code on your account with no per-seat bill. Same for data: engines that price per row instead of per licence.
This is the right call when
- 01
You pay per seat for a tool your team uses ten percent of.
- 02
You buy data per licence that a crawler on your account could price per row.
- 03
You need a marketplace or a comparison site where every number can be checked in public.

Scoping calls · most weeks
Only if the workflow is narrow enough. The scoping call is where I say no when it is not. When it is, the per-seat bill goes to zero and the code is yours.
You do. The repository, the Cloudflare account, the domains and the data sit under your company from day one. I get access, not ownership.
The roadmap gives you a date before you commit to the build. The stack is small and one person builds every layer, so nothing waits in a queue between departments.
Yes, before you send the brief if you need it. Send yours or use mine.
