# How we work > Bring a concept for a SaaS platform or a mobile app: the founders on your first call build it, and plan for what it will need after launch. Source: https://authect.com/about/how-we-work ## The founder-led technology partnership Authect is a software studio run by the engineers who founded it. We design, build and launch web platforms, SaaS products, mobile apps and AI solutions for companies that want senior engineering leadership and direct accountability, not layers of management. Every project follows the same proven framework, adapted to your goals, budget and timeline. You always know what is being built, why, and what it costs, because you hear it straight from the people building it. ## What you get with Authect - Direct access to the founders, from intro call to release - Estimates written by the engineers who do the work - Lower investment risk with MVP-first delivery - Senior engineer-led teams for web, SaaS, mobile and AI - Security and quality built in from the first commit - Fixed price or monthly sprints, then support and evolution ## How we cooperate ### Fixed-price project A clearly scoped product delivered for an agreed price and timeline. Ideal for MVPs and well-defined projects. Our responsibility: the scope, plan, budget, quality and delivery of the agreed product. Your responsibility: business context, timely feedback and sign-off on the scope. ### Monthly sprints A dedicated team, led by a senior engineer, working in short sprints, billed monthly. Ideal when your priorities evolve as you learn from users. Our responsibility: the team, sprint delivery, engineering quality and transparent reporting. Your responsibility: the product vision and setting priorities with us each sprint. ### Support and evolution After launch, we keep your product fast, secure and up to date, and keep shipping improvements as your business grows. Our responsibility: monitoring, updates, fixes and agreed response times. Your responsibility: reporting issues and planning the next improvements with us. ## Consistency and transparency are key to how we deliver, so every project follows the same framework. 1. **Intro call with a founder**: Your first call is with a founder who will build your project, not a salesperson. We learn about your business, your goals and what success looks like. 2. **Discovery**: We map your users, requirements and risks, and agree on the scope that delivers the most value first. 3. **Estimate and proposal**: The engineers who will build your product write your estimate, with a clear plan, timeline and price. 4. **Design**: We design the user experience and the architecture together, so the product looks right and scales from day one. 5. **Build in sprints**: We build in short sprints and demo working software regularly, so you see progress and steer the product as it grows. 6. **Test and secure**: Automated tests, code review and security checks run throughout, not just before launch. 7. **Launch**: We release to your users and app stores, monitor everything closely and fix fast if anything needs attention. 8. **Support and grow**: After launch we cover what comes next: scaling, security updates, new features and platforms, with the founders who built it still on it. ## Our dedication to transparency Transparency is at the heart of how we work. It builds trust and accountability, and it means you never have to wonder what is happening on your project. You get direct access to the founders, regular demos of working software and a clear view of progress, budget and priorities. The code lives in repositories you own from day one, so you can see every change as it happens. ## About Authect - Authect is a founder-led software development studio: clients talk to the founders who build their project, never a salesperson. - Every project is led by a senior engineer.
