Three to six months, then we leave
Built to make ourselves unnecessary.
This is not staff augmentation. The engagement ends on purpose, with your team running everything and a smaller, faster QA operation than you started with. Shown here at full six-month scale; a focused single-platform scope runs the same phases in about three.
Assess
Process audit, tool inventory, team interviews and coverage analysis, with a first automated win in your pipeline by week 2, so value shows before the plan is even final. You get: a maturity report and a plan scoped to your codebase, not a template.
Rebuild
Framework architecture, CI/CD gates and the first wave of tests running in your pipeline. You get: a working system gating real merges by month three.
Scale & train
Coverage grows to fit your scope. Weekly training, pair sessions and runbooks. You get: a team that writes, debugs and extends the suite without us.
Handoff
Final hardening, knowledge transfer and a support window for questions. You get: full ownership, and a QA organization that costs less than the one you had.
Engagements
Start small. Transform. Stay independent.
A ladder, not a leap. Fixed-price and project-based at every step, remote-first with optional on-site visits, and cleared contractors available for federal and IV&V work. A team of 2–5 senior engineers, sized to your scope.
Risk & quality baseline
A paid deep-dive that stands on its own: see exactly where you are and what's worth fixing, before any big commitment.
- Risk map and QA maturity scorecard
- Golden dataset and threat model for AI scope
- First automated release gate live in your CI
- Fixed fee, credited toward a transformation
The transformation
The full rebuild: assess, re-architect, automate the pyramid, train your team and hand over the keys.
- Frameworks across UI, API, data, performance and AI
- Unified gates, dashboards and Section 508 scanning
- AI-assisted migration of legacy suites
- Weekly training: we leave, you own everything
Recertification
We still leave. Then we come back on your schedule, briefly, to re-certify what you're running.
- Quarterly re-certification of gates and coverage
- Red-team and evaluation refresh as models change
- Incident-to-regression review
- Days, not months, then we leave again
Do the math
What does your QA team cost you today?
Move the sliders to your numbers. A transformation is priced against what you already spend, and it keeps paying after we leave, because a smaller team maintains a faster, more visible operation.
Indicative only. Estimated engagement investment: $150k–$360k, depending on scope, platforms and team size. The final number is fixed before signature and doesn't move. Team reductions happen through reassignment and attrition; your people move to higher-value work.
