Proof of partnership

Pick one objective.
Pay for what ships.

Give us one business objective. We forecast the scope, timeline, and fixed price before you commit, then deliver in 30 to 60 days against acceptance criteria we agree in writing. What we don't deliver, you don't pay for.

You get a point of view back, not a sales call.

Most software partnerships ask you to commit first and find out later. We do it the other way around.

We can offer this because we forecast delivery before we promise it. NolteOS runs every piece of work against 20 years of delivery data and returns scope, timeline, and price up front. The forecast is the proof.

Entity resolution on inbound recordsDelivered$1,500Accepted: 98% match rate against validation set, exceptions queued for review

Look at row five. That's the model. Billing is tied to written acceptance criteria, not effort, not hours, not good intentions. If a delivery misses its criteria, it isn't billed. That is not a refund policy. It's how the invoice is constructed.

How it works

Four steps.
The first two cost you nothing.

01

Define one objective

A business outcome, not a feature list. We agree what done means, in writing, before anything else happens.

02

See the forecast

NolteOS returns scope, timeline, and fixed price before you commit. You decide with the numbers in front of you.

03

We build

30 to 60 days. Deliveries ship in 3 to 5 day cycles with real-time visibility into where every piece of work stands.

04

You pay for what we deliver

Delivered against the agreed criteria, it's billable. What we don't deliver, you don't pay for.

The unit of work

What counts as a delivery

A delivery is a discrete, working feature. Not a ticket, not a sprint, not a status update. Every delivery is:

Discrete and measurable. A validated change in production, tied to the business objective you defined.
Testable by construction. Acceptance criteria written and agreed before the work starts, so "done" is never a debate.
Shipped in 3 to 5 days. Work is broken down intentionally so progress compounds weekly, not quarterly.
Scored for quality. We track defect rates across our own work and rate every delivery against an objective standard.
Example delivery

"A customer can submit a general liability quote request through a structured online form that routes into the underwriting workflow, with confirmation returned within 60 seconds." Scoped, priced, testable. That's one delivery.

Pricing

Fixed price.
Published, not negotiated.

$1,500 per delivery, scaling down with volume.

Proof of Partnership engagements start at a $10,000 monthly minimum. Every delivery is fixed price, agreed before the build. We benchmarked what it actually costs companies to ship a production feature with an internal team. This is a fraction of it, and unlike a salary, you only pay when it ships.

The partnership half

What we ask of you

We've sat on your side of this table, building under carrier requirements and regulatory deadlines, so we know what good looks like from both chairs. This pace holds because both sides hold the line. Three things:

One hour a week. A standing review where we walk deliveries, confirm acceptance, and lock the next cycle. That's the entire meeting load.
A named owner. One leader on your side with the authority to make decisions and accept work. Clear ownership, not a committee.
Approvals in 24 to 48 hours. Work waiting on review isn't shipping. If feedback stalls, the forecast dates shift with it.

We move quickly, but we can't do it alone. That's why this is called a partnership.

Fit

When this doesn't work

This works when the objective is bounded, you can commit to the three things above, and we get system access for the pilot window. It does not work for open-ended discovery or "build us everything." One objective, clearly defined. That is the deal. The form below filters. Not every submission earns a pilot.

Proven in production

Built under real constraints

After the pilot

Three ways it ends.
All of them fine.

Continue at the same cadence against the next objective. Expand into a larger delivery commitment at better per-delivery pricing. Or walk, keeping everything that shipped. The code is yours either way. There is no long-term contract holding this together. The forecast is what holds it together.

Book a consultation

Let's talk about how we can partner.

Bring one objective. We give you a straight point of view on whether and how to build it, then show you exactly what your proof of partnership delivers: seven production deliveries in 30 days, one fixed price, and if it doesn't ship, you don't pay.

What happens next

  1. 1

    Within one business day

    A senior operator reviews your submission and replies with an initial point of view on scope, approach, and the risks worth knowing about.

  2. 2

    Kickoff

    A working session to align on the first deliverables. We bring a draft plan and a forecast, not a capabilities deck.

  3. 3

    First 30 days

    Seven production deliveries shipped through NolteOS at 95% forecast accuracy. One fixed price. If it doesn't ship, you don't pay.
