Pragmateam
Taking on 2 projects for Q3 2026

Senior engineers who promise ship.

A small, senior studio for companies that need production software — not decks, prototypes, or roadmaps. We work, ship, improve. Then repeat.

The WSI method

Ship working software. Then make it better.

Every engagement follows a simple loop. No months of discovery, no Gantt charts, no theatre. Just three phases, on repeat, until you have what customers pay for.

Phase 01WEEKS 1–3

Work

Find the real problem

We pair with your team to strip the idea to its hardest unknowns. No slide decks — just working code against real data by end of week one.

  • Tech spike within 5 days
  • Direct Slack channel to engineers
  • Weekly demo, not status
Phase 02WEEKS 4–6

Ship

Get it in users' hands

Production, not staging. We harden, monitor, and roll out behind flags so you can measure reality — not assumptions — from day one.

  • Full CI/CD + observability
  • Launch checklist, not launch prayer
  • First customers onboarded in-flight
Phase 03ONGOING

Improve

Let data drive v2

Most studios disappear after launch. We stay paired with your team — iterating on what the data says, handing off cleanly when you're ready.

  • Biweekly iteration cycles
  • Clean handoff documentation
  • On-call support for 30 days post-launch
We'd tried two agencies before. Pragmateam had our MVP in production in five weeks — and the code was cleaner than what our in-house team writes.

Why teams pick us

Not another agency. Not staff augmentation.

A senior, tight-knit studio that plugs into your team for one reason: to ship the thing that matters next.

01

Senior only.

Every engineer on your project has 7+ years shipping production code. No juniors hidden behind a principal on sales calls.

02

Fixed-fee or time-based. Your call.

Pick fixed-fee sprints for MVPs, or time-and-materials for longer engagements. Both options come with a clear scope and weekly demos.

03

We write tests. Yours too.

The codebase we hand over has >80% coverage, linting, CI, and docs. Boring, but it's why our clients come back.

04

Direct line to the engineer.

No account managers. You Slack the engineer building your feature, daily. It's faster and everyone likes it better.

Common questions

The stuff teams always ask.

How fast can you start?+
Typically 2–3 weeks from signed SOW. We're intentionally small — usually 2 projects at a time — so we can staff properly rather than slot you in.
What's a typical engagement cost?+
Fixed-fee MVPs start at $60k for a 4–6 week engagement. Team augmentation runs $14–22k per engineer per month. Enterprise due diligence is flat-fee from $18k.
Do you sign NDAs?+
Yes, routinely — our NDA template is available on request, or we'll sign yours. Every brief we receive is treated as confidential by default.
Who owns the code?+
You do. Full IP transfer on payment, clean handoff, zero license strings. We keep nothing except permission to list you in our work (which you can decline).
Will you work with non-technical founders?+
Often. Roughly 40% of our MVP clients are non-technical founders. We translate, we don't patronise, and we bring a senior PM into the loop.
What happens if the project isn't a fit?+
We tell you. About 30% of briefs we receive we turn down, either because the timeline is unrealistic or the work isn't our strength. We'll recommend someone if we can.
