What happens, week by week.
Six deliverables. Six accountabilities. Every phase ships a concrete artefact, has an owner on our side and clears a gate before the next phase unlocks.

Non-negotiables on every engagement.
The process is the surface; these are the rules underneath. They're what make the process actually predictable instead of just nicely diagrammed.
Fixed-scope, fixed-budget
Phases are scoped before kickoff with a written SoW. No surprise change orders mid-sprint.
You own everything, day one
IP transfer signed before commit #1. Code, docs, design files and infra are yours — transferable, unencumbered.
Senior-only delivery
Every engagement is led by engineers with 5+ years of production experience. No juniors billed as seniors.
One PM, one Slack channel
A single dedicated project manager owns delivery. No vendor sprawl, no chasing inboxes.
Process questions, answered.
How long does the typical project take?
MVPs land in 6–10 weeks, mid-size SaaS platforms in 3–5 months, and enterprise modernisation engagements in 6+ months. We size each engagement during the discovery phase before signing the SoW.
Do you work in fixed-scope or time-and-material?
Both. ~70% of clients prefer fixed-scope sprints with milestone billing because the SoW pins the budget. Dedicated team and pod engagements are time-based with monthly invoicing.
How involved does our internal team need to be?
You'll need a product owner who can answer scope questions and approve deliverables — typically 3–5 hours a week. Everything else (design, build, QA, deployment) is handled by Krapton.
What happens after launch?
Most clients move to a monthly support retainer covering SLA-backed fixes, performance monitoring and small feature iterations. Larger product roadmaps shift into a dedicated team engagement.
Can you work alongside our existing team?
Yes — we frequently embed engineers into client codebases. Our developers attend your standups, follow your code-review standards and ship from your Jira/Linear board.
How do you handle scope changes mid-project?
Small adjustments inside an existing sprint are absorbed without a change order. Anything that meaningfully shifts the timeline or budget is paused, scoped together, and added with a written change request before work continues.
Same process. Your project.
Tell us what you're building and we'll come back within 24 hours with a tailored plan, milestones and a senior engineer ready to start.
