Yes. Most clients start from spreadsheets, WhatsApp and off-the-shelf tools. Tell us how the work runs today and in 5 days you get a build plan: what to build, what not to, a fixed price and a launch date in writing.
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, paid in three parts of $6,000, each tied to working software, and it replaces roughly $55,000 of separately priced work: strategy, design, engineering, security, launch and 90 days of RUN free. If you only need fixes, the Fix sprint is $4,800. 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.
No. RUN is optional. Every build ends with the code, infrastructure, credentials, documentation and a walkthrough, so your own team, or any engineer, can take over. If you keep us on, RUN pays for someone answering the 2am call, patching dependencies and reviewing the architecture as you grow. Cancel any month.
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.
Diagnose: 5 days, free, a written WB-12 verdict, or a build plan if nothing is built yet. Then a Fix sprint ($4,800, 3 weeks) or BUILT TO HOLD ($18,000, 90 days, scope locked, first working software in 14 days). After launch, RUN is optional: from $2,400 a month, first 90 days free, or a full handover. You can stop after Diagnose.
Your choice. The first 90 days of RUN are free, then it continues from $2,400 a month if you want us to keep operating it. Or take the full handover: code, infrastructure, credentials, documentation and a walkthrough, so your own team or any engineer can run it. No lock-in either way.
The $18,000 build fee is paid in three parts of $6,000: to start, at first working software on day 14, and at launch. You see the product working before the next payment is due. The Fix sprint is $4,800 fixed.
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.
