FIG. 01 — THE SQUAD
Your product squad, without the hiring cycle.
Two senior engineers, a product designer, and PM oversight — named humans who run the Omega Method against your roadmap. Quarterly plans. Friday deploys. A definition of done. You approve the direction; you don’t manage the delivery.
For post-traction startups using us as their product team, and operators with a multi-product internal roadmap — usually arriving from the Growth Package with a backlog that outgrew it.
FIG. 02 — WHO SHOWS UP
Named humans. Not “resources.”
You meet the squad before the quarter starts, and the squad you meet is the squad you get. No bench rotation, no silent substitutions, no junior swapped in at week six. If a person changes, you hear it from us first — with a name, not a title.
- SENIOR ENGINEER · ARCHITECTURE + SECURITY OWNER
Owns the hard calls and signs the security posture — so you don’t review the architecture at 11pm.
- SENIOR ENGINEER
Ships production code daily; owns test coverage and observability — so “done” means deployed and monitored, not “in review.”
- PRODUCT DESIGNER
Owns flows, prototypes, and usability evidence — so decisions come with proof, not taste debates.
- SQUAD LEAD · PM OVERSIGHT
Owns the quarterly Omega Statement, the cadence, and the definition of done — so the management you’re not doing is still being done.
A squad that ships like ten. AI writes the fast 70% — the humans own architecture, security, review, and the last mile. Speed is the output, not the excuse.

FIG. 03 — THE DIFFERENCE, LINE BY LINE
Staff augmentation rents you people. The Scale Package assigns you a squad with a method, a cadence, and a definition of done.
| Staff augmentation | The Scale Package | |
|---|---|---|
| WHAT YOU GET | Hours on a timesheet. The bodies come; the plan is your problem. | Outcomes on a roadmap — a squad with a method already installed. |
| WHO OWNS OUTCOMES | You. You become the architect, the reviewer, and the PM. | The squad. PM oversight, accountability with names on it. |
| CADENCE | Standups about progress. | A production deploy and a demo link, every Friday. |
| DEFINITION OF DONE | Whatever the last ticket says. | Written into the quarterly Omega Statement — signed by both sides, measured at the reset. |
WE DON’T SELL DEVELOPERS. WE SHIP PRODUCTS.
FIG. 04 — THE QUARTER, MEASURED
Plan quarterly. Ship weekly. Reset honestly.
The rhythm is the accountability. You never have to ask how it’s going — it deployed on Friday.
- QUARTER STARTThe quarterly Omega Statement
One page, signed: what “done and winning” looks like in 13 weeks — metrics, non-goals included. Nothing enters the quarter without it.
- EVERY FRIDAY▪ DEPLOYDeploy + demo
Working software in production, a demo link in Slack, a changelog you can diff. Thirteen Fridays a quarter; each one is a checkpoint you can click.
- MONTHLYCompound Loop review
Metrics against the statement, one page, misses included. The data can re-order the quarter; it can’t silently expand it.
- QUARTER ENDThe Omega Reset
Measure against the statement. Write the next one. Renew, right-size to Growth, or stop — a decision made on numbers, on a scheduled date, not by drift.
1 STATEMENT · 13 FRIDAY DEPLOYS · 3 LOOP REVIEWS · 1 MEASURED RESET
FIG. 05 — TERMS, IN PLAIN TYPE
A quarterly commitment, bounded on both ends.
The 30-day fit guarantee protects quarter one, and every quarter ends with a measured reset where stopping is a scheduled option — not a confrontation.
$32,000/mo, monthly in advance, quarterly commitment.
Quarterly, with 30 days’ notice before quarter end. Renewal is a decision with a date — never an auto-drift.
A squad plans in quarters or it plans in tickets. The commitment buys you a real roadmap and buys the squad the runway to own it.
One squad, one quarterly Omega Statement. Work outside it goes through the swap rule: new work swaps against planned work, in writing.
First quarter only: if month one fails the success criteria we agreed before starting, you exit with only month 1 billed. The criteria are written down on day one — so “fit” is measured, not felt.
If a full squad stops being the right size, you move to the Growth Package ($12,500/mo). Never a cancellation conversation — always a right-sizing conversation.
FIG. 06 — STRAIGHT ANSWERS
The questions worth asking before a quarter.
Who exactly is on our squad — and can we meet them first?
Two senior engineers (one owns architecture and security), a product designer, and a squad lead providing PM oversight. Named, consistent, and introduced before the quarter starts. No silent substitutions — if the roster changes, you hear it from us first.
How is this different from hiring our own team?
Speed and certainty. A squad starts in weeks, not the 6+ months of recruiting four senior people — and it arrives with a method, a cadence, and a definition of done already installed. If your endgame is an in-house team, we’ll say so and help you get there; squads should be outgrown, not clung to.
What happens when priorities change mid-quarter?
The swap rule: new work swaps against planned work in the quarterly Omega Statement, agreed in writing. The monthly Compound Loop review is the scheduled place to re-order the quarter on evidence. What never happens: silent scope growth that turns the roadmap into fiction.
What if it isn’t working?
Quarter one carries the 30-day fit guarantee — month one fails the agreed criteria, you exit with only month 1 billed. After that, every quarter ends with a measured reset and a 30-day renewal window. And if the honest answer is a smaller engagement, we’ll right-size you to Growth ourselves.
- Smaller backlog, same method? Growth Package →
- Leadership without a squad? Fractional CTO →
- Compliance or multi-squad programs? Enterprise →
