Frequently asked questions.

You can, for the first version. AI tools are excellent at producing something that looks finished fast. What they don't do is the twelve things that matter once real customers and real money touch it, auth that actually restricts access, data that stays consistent under failure, a deploy you can roll back from. That's the gap WB-12 measures, and it's usually invisible until it costs you a contract or a rebuild.

It's fixed, not hourly, and it replaces roughly $55,000 of separately-priced work, strategy, design, engineering, security, launch and 90 days of us running it for you. A single senior engineer costs $140,000 a year and can't do half this list alone. Compare it to the cost of getting it wrong: one lost enterprise deal, or a $50,000+ rebuild.

No. That's usually a head start, not a write-off. We run the WB-12 audit against what exists, keep what holds, and rebuild only what doesn't, usually auth, data integrity and the deploy pipeline. Most AI-built MVP rescues cost less than starting from zero.

You're not paying to own it, you already do. RUN pays for someone answering the 2am call, patching the dependency with the CVE, and reviewing the architecture as you grow. You can cancel any month and take everything with you. Most clients don't, because the alternative is doing it themselves.

You own the repo, the infrastructure and the credentials from day one, that's the never-hostage guarantee. If Witsberry vanished tomorrow, you'd hand the repo to any competent engineer and they'd be productive in a day, because it's built and documented to a published standard, not to whatever was in one person's head.

That's the built-to-hold guarantee. A critical bug hits your live system, we freeze everything else to fix it, free. Past 24 hours, we cover 100% of your hosting costs until it's resolved.

That's who this is built for. You'll never hire an engineer, write a spec or open a terminal. You'll get a plain-English verdict, a fixed price, a date in writing, and a person, not a ticket queue, to call when something matters.

Three stages. Diagnose: 5 days, free, a written WB-12 verdict. Build: 90 days, $18,000 fixed, scope locked, first working software in 14 days. Run: from $2,400 a month, first 90 days free, we operate what we built. You can stop after Diagnose. Most people don’t.

No. The first 90 days of Run are included free, then it continues from $2,400 a month if you want us to keep operating it: monitoring, patching, incident response, a monthly CTO review. Cancel any month and take everything with you.

The $18,000 build fee is paid across 3 milestones tied to working software, not calendar dates. You see the product taking shape before the next payment is due. No large sum is due upfront.

Yes, all of it. The repo, the infrastructure accounts, the credentials, the design files. That's the never-hostage guarantee: you own it from day one, not on some future handover date.

The ship-date guarantee. We agree a date in writing before we start. If we miss it, every week late is free until it ships.

Production-grade, widely-adopted stacks: Next.js, React, Node.js and Flutter, the same tools used by companies operating at real scale. We avoid proprietary no-code platforms that lock you into a vendor.

Yes. UX and interaction design is a standard line item in the build, not an add-on. Your product is designed to look venture-grade from day one, not styled after the fact.
