Small senior teams with AI agents move fast when they can act. These are the conditions, stated before you sign.
Our timelines start when we have your repositories, environments, CI/CD and cloud, and one person who can decide.
We use Claude Team or Enterprise seats that Clouditive pays for. Your code never trains models.
If you forbid AI tools or require your own accounts, we staff a classic team at the published rates and timelines, and any accounts you require are paid by you.
A change of the same size swaps with a backlog item at no cost. New scope that isn't a swap is quoted at the published rate before we do it.
A defect against what was agreed, found within 30 days of delivery, is fixed at no cost. Changes and new features are not defects.
If your process has change boards, tickets or no production access, we still take the work and state a realistic timeline up front. There we sell delivery cadence, not fewer people.
