How Do You Track Appeal Deadlines in Revenue Cycle Management Software?
We show how to keep appeal deadlines visible across offices, verify filing evidence and test missing work before expanding your workflow.
Better Software Team
Custom software development
You know what could be better. Let's build the software to make it work.
We help founders turn ideas into products and businesses build and improve the software they rely on. Product thinking, design and engineering, from the first decisions through launch and ongoing development.

Typical starting team: around US$15,000/month. Scope and team allocation determine the total budget. See the team & pricing
The people we work with have come from
Who We Work With
You know the business. You see what could work better.
01
Improving a business you already run
You want to serve customers better, make the work easier for your team or build a new capability. We help decide where custom software makes sense and how it should work with the systems you already use.
02
Building your first product
You have seen a problem firsthand and want to build a company around solving it. You may be leaving an industry role or starting without a technical cofounder. We help define the product, design it and build a first version for real users.
You bring knowledge of the problem and the people it affects. We bring product and engineering judgment. We also work with technical leaders who need a team to move an existing product forward.
We build web and mobile applications, SaaS products, internal tools and integrations, including AI features where they serve a clear purpose.
How We Work
Understand the business. Build with the people in it.
01
Understand the problem
We work through who the software is for, what they need to do and what a useful result would mean. For an existing business, we also look at how the work happens today.
02
Build a useful first version
We agree the first scope, design the experience and build the software. We check the assumptions and dependencies that could change the plan, and review working software with you.
03
Keep improving after launch
We learn from real use, address what gets in the way and decide what to build next. The software needs to remain understandable and maintainable as it changes.
We work as a pod: a product manager covering design works through priorities and usable workflows with you, and two engineers build, integrate, test, and review the software. We manage the day-to-day delivery; you remain involved in business decisions and priorities.
The first conversation is about what you want to build or improve, who it is for and where you are starting. We discuss whether we can help and what we need to understand next.

Industry Experience
Experience across different kinds of businesses
We have deeper experience in healthcare, finance and energy, with work across commerce, agriculture, facilities and other industries.
Founder-Led
Founder-led, with a small number of ongoing partnerships
We work closely with a small number of clients, often over several years. That gives us time to learn the business and continue building as its needs change.
We hold ourselves to 5–7 engagements at a time.

Your team & investment
A pod to move your product forward.
We work as a pod: one product manager and two engineers, working directly with your business team—from understanding the problem to releasing and improving the software.
Our typical starting pod
Around $15,000/month
USD. This is a typical monthly budget, not a fixed price for the entire build. Final pricing depends on team allocation and scope.
Discuss your build and budget01
1 product manager — what to build, and the design
Works with your business team to decide what is worth building, and carries the user journeys, interface design, and delivery planning.
02
2 engineers — build and ship it
Build the software, connect the systems it depends on, test changes, and review each other’s work.
03
Founder architecture oversight included
Jai works with the pod during the first few months to guide architecture and key technical decisions, included at no additional charge. This is oversight, not a fourth full-time member or unlimited access.
What the pod takes responsibility for
- Decide what is worth building first.
- Design workflows people can actually use.
- Build, integrate, test, and release the software.
- Review feedback and plan the next improvements.
You remain involved in business decisions and priorities. We manage the day-to-day delivery.
We start with this pod and expand when the scope requires it. Team allocation, monthly budget, and responsibilities are agreed before kickoff.
Before work begins, you receive a scoped plan with an estimated timeline and budget for the first useful release.
For context, hiring a comparable team in the United States costs about $31,000/month in salaries alone, before recruiting, benefits, employer taxes, equipment, and ongoing people management (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025 median wages: software developers and project management specialists).
The AI Question
If AI can write code, what are you paying us for?
AI can help you explore an idea, build a prototype, and accelerate development. We use it too. The investment covers the people who decide what to build, understand how it fits your business, and take responsibility for reviewing, testing, and delivering it.
01
Product decisions
What should the software do, for whom, and what can wait?
02
Engineering decisions
How should data, permissions, integrations, and failure handling work together?
03
Delivery responsibility
Who checks the changes, releases them, and follows through when real use reveals something new?
AI helps us move faster through implementation. We use that capacity to advance the agreed priorities and validate the result. Progress is measured through working software and reviewed milestones.
Already built something with AI? Bring it. We assess what works, what needs strengthening, and what can be carried forward.
