Common Questions, Answered

How is Modernize different from a typical dev shop or software agency?

Most agencies take a brief, execute it, and hand it back. We work differently. We challenge assumptions before a line of code is written, stay accountable from discovery through deployment, and treat your product's success as our success. There are no handoffs, no rotating teams, and no surprises on scope.

Do you work on a fixed-price or time-and-materials basis?

Both, depending on the engagement. We're happy to work fixed-scope for well-defined projects, or on a time-and-materials basis for more exploratory or evolving work. In either case, scope is managed collaboratively — if something changes, we discuss it before it affects the budget.

We don't have a fully defined spec yet. Can you still help?

Absolutely — that's often where we add the most value. We offer discovery sprints specifically for this: a structured engagement to define the problem, stress-test requirements, and produce a delivery plan you can trust. Many of our best projects started with nothing more than a problem statement.

How do you approach AI integration in a product?

We don't add AI because it's expected — we add it where it demonstrably improves the product. That means assessing your data readiness, identifying the right approach (automation, retrieval, prediction, or generative features), and architecting it in from the start rather than bolting it on later. If AI isn't the right fit for a given feature, we'll tell you.

What does a typical engagement look like, and how long does it take?

Engagements typically begin with a scoping or discovery phase (1–2 weeks), followed by iterative delivery cycles. Timeline varies by complexity — a focused internal tool might ship in 6–8 weeks, while a full product build runs longer. We'll give you an honest estimate after our first conversation, not a number designed to win the deal.
