How is it priced? +
Fixed, and known in advance. Team engagements are priced per seat per month — dedicated seats for the team, and a fractional seat for the Golonex lead where you need one. Teams carry a three- to six-month minimum set by the scope of the work, and a leadership seat six months. Builds start with a fixed-price discovery, then a fixed price per milestone, then a fixed monthly seat to maintain what we built. Either way you know the number before the work starts, and the accountability sits with us.
Which model fits us? +
If you have a technical lead and need capacity you do not have to manage, the Dedicated Managed Team. If you have no engineering leadership, the Fractional Engineering Lead with a dedicated team under them. If the work is a bounded deliverable with a clear finish line, a Fixed-Scope Build — starting with a fixed-price discovery that produces the scope and the quote.
Who owns the source code and IP? +
You do — entirely. All source code, designs, models, documentation, and infrastructure configuration produced during the engagement transfer to you. Golonex retains no rights to anything built.
Who builds it? +
A team Golonex hires, manages, reviews, and replaces, led by a named Golonex lead. You work with the lead and judge us on outcomes: the monthly report, the accepted milestones, the working software. If someone is not performing, replacing them is our job, not yours.
What happens when the scope changes? +
On a fixed-scope build, changes follow a priced change process agreed before kickoff, and delays on your side extend the timeline day-for-day. On a team engagement, your lead or ours re-prioritises the backlog within the team you already have. Either way the process is written down before work starts — no surprises in either direction.
Is the software secure and audit-ready? +
Golonex is a security and compliance firm first. Every engagement follows secure-development practices — dependency scanning, secrets management, access control, logging — and evidence and documentation are delivered as we go, so the build stands up to CMMC, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or ISO 42001 scrutiny if you need it to.
Can you take over an existing codebase or a stalled project? +
Yes. It starts the same way a fixed-scope build does: a fixed-price discovery. We audit the architecture, code quality, security posture, and deployment pipeline, and give you a written assessment and a quote before committing to a plan.
