Build our MVP02 · How it works
Four steps to software you own.
No discovery marathons. No open-ended hourly billing.
01
Scoping call
Free, 30–45 minutes. We map the outcome you want — and whether custom software is the right tool.
02
Fixed quote
A written scope and a fixed price. You approve both before a single line of code is written.
03
Build in sprints
Two-to-six-week sprints, demoed as they land. You watch it work as it's built.
04
You own it
The code, the IP, the accounts — handed over. No lock-in, no license fees, no hostage repos.
Compare this with the typical agency path — one Adelaide agency's own published process is Discovery (2–4 weeks) then Prototype (4–6 weeks) before development begins. codium.com.au, fetched 13 Aug 2026.

The differentiator
The first employeeless software company.
No staff to pay, no benches to fill, no account managers. The machine builds at machine speed; a person decides at every gate. You pay for the software — not the headcount.

TODO — first client, first quote
This space is reserved for real client words, with real numbers, and it will be filled the week the first client goes live. Until then, the proof is the work itself: this site was built by the machine it describes.

06 · Questions
Asked before every build.
Straight answers — the same ones you'll get on the scoping call.
What does custom software cost?
Fixed-scope sprints from $3,900. Most first deliverables land inside one 2–6 week sprint; larger products are a sequence of sprints you approve one at a time, so the total never moves without your sign-off. The $99 scoping audit is credited in full against any build.
How long does a build take?
Two to six weeks per sprint. You see working software as each sprint lands — not after months of discovery documents and prototypes.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. The code, the IP, the accounts and the documentation are handed over at delivery. No lock-in, no license fees, no hostage repos.
What stack do you build with?
Modern, maintainable, boring where it matters: Python, Node, n8n for automation, SQLite and Postgres, vanilla JS and system fonts. This site runs on the same stack. No framework-of-the-month, no vendor lock-in.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes — integrations are a first-class capability. Xero, Shopify, CRMs, calendars, spreadsheets, REST APIs: we connect what you already run rather than replacing it.
Can you maintain it after launch?
Yes. Every build ships with documentation; an optional care plan keeps it running, or we hand over completely and you own it outright.
How do you handle security?
The estate runs the same discipline it sells: 7 servers, all clean, every change gated by a person, no trackers on the site, app-first delivery. Anything sensitive is scoped and confirmed in writing before work begins.
What if we don't know exactly what we need yet?
Start with the $99 scoping audit. You get a written scope — what to build, what it costs, what it saves — and it's credited against the build if you proceed. A small decision, a plain answer.
