Frequently Asked Questions.

What is a US delivery pod?

A US delivery pod is one architect-led senior American team acting as your product team. It combines engineering, QA governance, and delivery management, is AI-augmented throughout, and is partner-backed for surge capacity. It is engaged monthly rather than sold as a fixed project, so the same team stays with the product.

Is onshore AI-augmented development really cost-competitive with offshore?

Offshore wins on hourly rate; the pod model competes on total cost of ownership. The Onshore-AI Pod Model prices a small senior US pod plus AI augmentation and vetted partner surge capacity against offshore total cost of ownership rather than against an hourly rate — the difference being rework, communication lag, security exposure, and IP risk.

Who is in the pod?

An architect who owns technical direction and standards, senior US engineers who are AI-augmented, quality governance across every release, and delivery management covering cadence, dashboard, and communication. You get a named team rather than rotating anonymous capacity, and a public velocity and quality dashboard showing what that team is producing.

What happens when we no longer need the pod?

You leave. We build your team’s capability to replace us — the exit option most vendors won’t offer — which is the Evolution stage in How We Work, where capability transitions to your team or the partnership expands into new markets. The monthly engagement model means the decision stays yours rather than being locked by contract length.
