Buyer questions

Most software risk appears before the first line of code is written: ownership, compliance, budget clarity, handover, and maintenance. These are the questions serious buyers usually ask first.

01

How do you ensure GDPR compliance in software projects?

Compliance is designed into the architecture from the start: EU data residency, privacy-by-design flows, encryption, audit logs, and deletion concepts. We treat GDPR as a system requirement, not a post-launch patch.

02

What budget is realistic for a senior-led custom software project?

Discovery and technical audits usually start at EUR6k. Senior-led custom engineering usually starts around EUR20k and scales with system complexity, integrations, compliance, and delivery scope.

03

Can you take over an existing codebase or legacy system?

Yes. We regularly take over unstable or aging systems, audit the current architecture, identify critical paths, and define a modernization sequence that reduces production risk instead of increasing it.

04

Who owns the source code, credentials, and infrastructure?

You do. We deliver code, deployment paths, documentation, and credentials so the system remains transferable. The goal is ownership clarity, not vendor dependency.

05

Do you only work directly with end clients?

No. We work across direct, agency, and partner engagements. What matters is clear architecture ownership, scope control, and technical quality.

06

Do you offer support and maintenance after launch?

Yes. We offer SLA-backed maintenance with response times, dependency updates, security patching, and controlled release support for systems that need ongoing operational stability.

07

Can you analyze unstable or hard-to-debug CI/CD pipelines?

Yes. We analyze pipeline structure, build, test, deploy, scan, and release jobs, artifacts, logs, and commit context. Where useful, we instrument tasks with OpenTelemetry and build Grafana dashboards for cross-job analysis, trace navigation, runner metrics, and regression detection.

08

How does your fixed-price or scoped engagement model work?

After discovery and scoping, we define a bounded delivery path with clear assumptions, outputs, and commercial scope. If requirements change, the scope changes transparently rather than silently.

09

Are you the right fit for MVPs or small websites?

Not usually. We are a fit for regulated products, complex business logic, modernization, and systems where architectural responsibility matters. We are not the low-cost option for simple websites or small brochure projects.
