How We Work
How we work, and what it costs
No sales call required to find out if we're in your budget. See how each engagement model differs, and what happens after you reach out.
Discovery, fixed scope, or time & materials
Discovery
Before scope is locked
- 1–2 weeks with a senior architect and product lead
- Stakeholder interviews, technical architecture, and a story-pointed backlog
- Ends with a fixed-scope or T&M proposal, not just a rough guess
Fixed Scope
Defined deliverables, defined price
- Best when requirements are well-specified and unlikely to shift
- One agreed price and timeline — OZRIT carries the estimating risk
- Typical for a single product, module, or MVP build
Time & Materials (T&M)
Defined rate, flexible scope
- Billed monthly against actual hours at agreed role-based rates
- Best when requirements will evolve as you learn from users
- You can redirect priorities at any sprint boundary
Dedicated engineering teams vs. staff augmentation
Dedicated Engineering Team
An OZRIT-managed pod, with its own delivery lead, that works exclusively on your roadmap. You set priorities; we manage day-to-day execution, code quality, and delivery.
Typical starting composition
2–4 engineers, 1 QA engineer, 1 project lead — scaled to your roadmap
Minimum commitment
3 months, renewable monthly after that
Kickoff timeline
Team assembled and onboarded within 10–15 business days of signing
Staff Augmentation
Individual engineers embedded directly into your existing team, tools, and workflow. You manage day-to-day priorities the same way you would an in-house hire — we handle recruitment, employment, and backfill.
How it differs from a dedicated team
No separate OZRIT delivery lead — your PM directs the work. You get individual specialists, not a self-contained pod.
Best for
Filling a specific skills gap inside a team and process you already run
How long each model actually takes
Discovery sprint
1–2 weeks
Fixed-scope project (MVP / module)
8–16 weeks, scope-dependent
Time & Materials
Ongoing — no fixed end date
Dedicated team ramp-up
10–15 business days from signed agreement
What this actually costs
Indicative starting bands based on role and seniority. Your final quote depends on scope, stack, and engagement model — but you shouldn't have to book a call just to find out if we're in range.
Dedicated senior developer
$40 – $55 / hour
Dedicated mid-level developer
$25 – $35 / hour
QA engineer
$20 – $30 / hour
UI/UX designer
$22 – $32 / hour
Project / delivery lead
$32 – $45 / hour
Discovery sprint
From $3,000, depending on scope complexity
Time & Materials
Billed monthly at the hourly rates above, for whichever roles are on your team
What happens in the first 48 hours
Within 24 hours
A solutions consultant reviews what you submitted and replies — either with clarifying questions or a link to book a call directly.
Within 48 hours
A 30–45 minute discovery call is scheduled to understand scope, constraints, timeline, and which engagement model fits.
After the call
You get a short written summary of what was discussed and the next step — a proposal, a fixed-scope estimate, or a discovery sprint outline.
