The difference between this and staff augmentation is who holds the plan. Here, we do. You bring a problem, a deadline and a set of constraints; we scope it, assemble the team, run the delivery and answer for the result. You hold us to the outcome rather than to individual timesheets.
If the scope is genuinely undefined and will be discovered as you go, a fixed engagement will turn every new idea into a negotiation.
Consider a Dedicated Team, which absorbs change without renegotiationMost engagements that go wrong went wrong here, before anyone wrote code. This is the split we work to.
We work out what the thing actually is, what it must do, and what would make it a failure. Ends in a written scope you recognize.
Team composition, milestones, dependencies and a change process — agreed before anyone writes code.
Delivery in cadence against the milestones, with a status you can inspect at any point.
Testing against the acceptance criteria agreed at discovery, not invented at the end.
Into your infrastructure, with the runbook and handover documentation.
An agreed support window after launch, or an ongoing arrangement if you want one.
Hexalabs is early. We would rather say that than imply a history we do not have — you would find out anyway, and it would cost us the engagement. Instead, here is what we commit to in writing so trying us costs you very little.
Start with a two-week paid pilot on real work from your backlog. At the end you decide whether to continue, with no further obligation and no notice period to serve. You will have seen the code, the communication and the pace before committing to anything longer.
If an engineer is not working out in the first 30 days, we replace them at our cost, including the handover. You do not pay twice for the same seat, and you do not run the hiring process again.
Engagements run on two weeks notice. If it is not working, you are not trapped in it. We would rather you left early than stayed unhappy and told people about it.
You interview every engineer before they join, and nobody is placed without your yes. Our screening notes come with each profile so you can see what we assessed and judge it yourself.
These terms go into your contract, not just onto this page. Ask us for them in writing before you commit to anything.
Tell us the outcome and the constraints. We will come back with a scope.
Still deciding? A short conversation is usually faster than another round of research.
Ask us directlyA written change process is agreed before work starts: what constitutes a change, who approves it, and how it affects timeline and cost. Without that, every new request becomes an argument.
IP assignment is set out in the contract. Confirm the specific terms with us in writing before you sign — this is exactly the kind of thing that should not be assumed.
Yes. Written status at an agreed cadence is part of the engagement, not something you have to chase.
Talk to us about it at contract stage and we will tell you what is possible and what it costs. It is a reasonable thing to want.
Add specialists to the team you already have, without a hiring cycle.
