Four steps. No surprises.

The process every client goes through, transparent from the first email. If at any point it doesn't fit, we say so. If at any point scope grows, we say so. Surprise isn't a brand value.

Discovery

One call. If there's a fit, two more sessions.

The first call lasts 30 minutes. I'll call you. No long forms, no questionnaire — an honest conversation about what your company needs and whether FastNet fits.

If there's technical and commercial fit, we schedule two more deep discovery sessions of 90 minutes each. In these sessions we map the real technical problem, not the documented one. If your team's available, better — more perspectives, better diagnosis.

Full discovery is no cost, no commitment. It's free for you. If after discovery we don't move forward together, we leave you a document with what we learned. It's yours. Use it internally or with another provider.

Total time: 1-2 weeks.

Proposal

Clear scope. Honest timeline. Documented investment.

The proposal comes four days after closing discovery. It includes:

→Diagnosis summary (what we found)
→Project scope (what exactly we build)
→What's outside scope (written explicitly, not assumed)
→Per-phase timeline (with realistic buffer, not optimistic)
→Assigned team (with names, not generic)
→Investment (fixed price or monthly retainer as applicable)
→Commercial terms

Total time: 1 week.

Build

We live inside during the project.

Build works with four fixed rituals:

→Shared Slack. Your team and our team in the same space.
→Async daily standup. First thing, everyone posts what they did yesterday and what they're doing today. Five minutes. Not a meeting.
→Demo every two weeks. Live. What was built, what's coming, what's blocked.
→Monthly retro. What worked, what didn't, what to adjust next month.

Total time: depends on project. Most last 3 to 9 months.

Your team watches the code grow in real time. If at any point something doesn't convince you, we discuss it before it's expensive to reverse.

Delivery

Formal handoff. Transition support.

Delivery isn't "we send you a zip and walk away". It includes:

→GitHub repos under your account (they were always there, since commit zero)
→Complete technical documentation
→CI/CD pipelines with transferred access
→Handoff session with your team (4 hours, in person or remote)
→30 days of transition support included
→Option for ongoing retainer if you want us close

The code is yours. If you decide to leave, you leave with everything. If you decide to stay with us on retainer, that's fine too — but the decision is yours, not ours.

→ WHAT WE DON'T DO

For transparency.

We don't sign abusive unilateral NDAs.

We sign standard bilateral NDAs. If your legal demands clauses that make us liable beyond reason, we don't move forward.

We don't give away discovery without commitment.

Discovery is free only when there's real decision to move forward after the proposal. It's not a tool to extract ideas for internal implementation.

We don't promise timelines without discovery.

Anyone who gives you a price and timeline on the first call, without seeing the real technical problem, is either lying or doesn't understand.

We don't work by the loose hour.

Fixed-project or monthly retainer. Loose hours reward confusion and punish efficiency.

Does this process work for you?

Start with the 30-minute call. It's the only door in — and the only way to decide whether to keep going.
