Engagement models

Flexible engagement.
Clear ownership.

Choose the commercial shape that matches the certainty, scale and life stage of the product. Every route keeps scope, responsibilities and decision points visible.

Reduce uncertainty

Discovery & Product Blueprint

A focused engagement to turn a broad brief into an actionable product and technical plan. Useful before committing to a major build or when several approaches appear possible.

Typical outputs

User and workflow map
Scope and priority definition
Technical architecture
Risk and dependency register
Delivery roadmap and estimate basis

Best for

New products with important unknowns
Legacy replacement or integration projects
Investor or stakeholder-ready planning
Complex game or Web3 systems

Defined delivery

Fixed-Scope Product Build

A milestone-led build for a product or release with clear boundaries. Scope, acceptance criteria, dependencies and change control are agreed before implementation begins.

Typical structure

Agreed deliverables and milestones
Regular demonstrations
Quality and acceptance plan
Deployment and documentation
Optional post-launch support

Best for

Minimum viable products
Vertical slices and prototypes
Defined platform or feature builds
Time-bound campaign experiences

Evolving roadmap

Embedded Studio Partnership

Reserved monthly capacity for products that need continuing design, engineering and technical leadership. Priorities can evolve through a shared backlog without restarting procurement for every release.

Typical structure

Reserved multidisciplinary capacity
Joint roadmap and backlog
Regular planning and demonstrations
Architecture and delivery ownership
Monthly reporting

Best for

Active digital products
Longer game productions
Complex phased platforms
Teams needing senior delivery support

After launch

Maintenance & Evolution Subscription

A structured monthly service covering operational care, bug resolution, dependency updates and a defined allowance for improvements. Support levels can scale with product criticality.

Typical coverage

Monitoring and issue triage
Security and dependency updates
Release and platform maintenance
Small enhancements
Health and roadmap reviews

Best for

Products without an internal engineering team
Client-owned systems needing continuity
Games requiring live updates
Platforms exposed to changing APIs

Commercial clarity

Decisions should be visible before they become invoices.

Each engagement defines responsibilities, assumptions, third-party costs, acceptance, change control and ownership or licensing up front. Regular reviews keep commercial choices tied to product evidence.

Transparent backlog

Everyone can see what is planned, active, blocked and complete.

Visible milestones

Payment and review points align to meaningful delivery stages.

No surprise handover

Documentation, access and operating responsibility are planned throughout the build.

Choose the right starting shape

We can recommend an engagement model once the product, risk and decision horizon are clear.
