Do you work with our existing team?: Yes. We integrate with your engineering team via shared Slack, GitHub, and weekly standups. Knowledge transfer is built into every engagement.
What happens after launch?: We provide documentation, training, and a warranty period. Most clients transition to a monthly retainer for ongoing optimization and feature expansion.

Can you sign a BAA for healthcare projects?: Yes, for healthcare engagements we execute BAAs and implement HIPAA-aware architecture including audit logging and access controls.
