Common questions
1-Day Sprint £1,500; 5-Day UX Sprint £10,000 + VAT; V1 Sprint £10,000 + VAT; Subscription from £5,000/month. Larger projects run across multiple sprints at £10,000 + VAT each.
Yes. If at the end of Day 5 you don't have what we agreed in the pre-flight call — production-ready designs, or working deployed software — we keep working at no extra charge until you do.
Product teams at scale-ups and enterprises who need senior design and build capacity they can't hire fast enough, and funded startups who need to ship faster than hiring allows.
A UX Sprint is design only: production-ready designs, an interactive prototype and user testing, with no code. A V1 Sprint is design and build: deployed, working software at a live URL that you own. UX validates what to build; V1 builds it.
Yes. We build our own products on the same process — for example ContentNow, a full SaaS with AI, Stripe billing and publishing, built in five days. You can try our products at precode.co/labs.
A focused outcome in five days for a sprint, or one day for a 1-Day Sprint. Idea to deployed software is about 10 days when you combine a UX Sprint and a V1 Sprint.
Yes — fully. The GitHub repository is transferred to you: every line of code and every configuration. It's built so your team owns it from Day 6.
Yes — the 1-Day Sprint at £1,500 is the lowest-risk way to experience working with us before committing to a full sprint.
