Across every practice
01 / Practice

Four things we do remarkably well.

We say no to most projects. The work we take on falls into four practices that compound. Businesses we help with payments often come back for AI work, and most need the other two. Each price is a starting point. The real number depends on scope and gets locked in after a free 60 minute call.

02 / Process

How we work, exactly.

No discovery sprints. No six-week onboarding. We move fast because we have done this enough to know what matters. Four steps from brief to shipped.

I
Brief
You fill out a short form or send a voice note. We read it the same day. No questionnaire. No automated response.
Day 1
II
Scoping call
One 60-minute call. No sales deck. We ask the right questions, map the real problem, and tell you if we are the right fit.
Day 2 – 3
III
Proposal
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. A document you can read in five minutes and decide on the same day.
Day 4 – 5
IV
Build & ship
We build. You get weekly async updates via Loom or Notion. Shipping at the two or three week mark, not month six.
Week 2 – 3
03 / Work

Selected engagements.

Case studies are sanitised for client confidentiality. Real projects, real outcomes — names changed.

04 / Questions

Things we get asked before the call.

If yours is not here, write to us at hello@buildsage.io. We answer within one working day, usually with a yes or a no.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do. Full ownership transfers on final payment. The repo lives in your GitHub or GitLab organisation from day one. We do not run rent-your-code retainers.

How does payment work?

50% advance to kick off the project, 50% on delivery. No hidden milestones, no scope creep tax, no surprise invoices. After the diagnosis call you get a fixed number and a fixed timeline in writing.

How can you ship in 2 to 3 weeks when others quote months?

Because the team is built around a very specialised set of skills that you will not find sitting in one room anywhere else. Tight scope, fewer hands, more depth per hand. We also say no to anything that genuinely cannot ship in 2 to 3 weeks.

What stack do you actually use?

Boring, hireable, easy to maintain. Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres, Tailwind for web. React Native and Expo for mobile. Stripe and Razorpay for payments. OpenAI, Anthropic, and self-hosted models for AI work. Your next engineer picks it up without retraining.

Do you take equity?

No. We are a cash fee business. We do offer a 10% discount to YC, Antler, and Sequoia Spark companies, and to non-profits with verified 80G status. Proof is enough.

What happens after launch?

A 30 day support window is included in every engagement. After that, retain us for a monthly block at a fixed fee, or hand off cleanly. No lock-in.

Why only two engagements per quarter?

So we can hold the 2 to 3 week shipping promise without dropping quality. Two is the most we ship at the standard we are willing to attach our names to.
