We propose a small, high-leverage plan for the week based on your backlog and constraints.

Ship PRs
We open PRs early, iterate with your feedback, and land changes with tests and notes.
4
Report + repeat
You get clear status updates and a weekly summary (what shipped, what’s next, risks).
Designed for speed and trust
Professional delivery
You’ll see tangible output (merged pull requests), transparent communication, and a paper trail of what changed and why.
Low overhead
No portal required. We work in your tools (GitHub, email, Slack) and keep the process light.
FAQ
Do you need production access?
No. Most work can be done via repo access and CI. If production access is ever needed, we’ll discuss and minimize scope.
How do you handle confidentiality?
We work in private repos, follow least-privilege access, and can sign an NDA if requested.
What do you deliver?
Pull requests with clear descriptions, tests where appropriate, and a weekly summary of shipped work.
