How We Work
CodeBranch meets your project wherever it is. Every engagement delivers standalone value — no obligation to continue.
No Lock-In. No Strings Attached.
Every phase of our engagement produces deliverables you own outright. You can pause, stop, or continue at any point — each phase stands on its own.
Full ownership
You own all code, documentation, and IP from day one.
No commitment clause
Scale, pause, or stop whenever you need — no penalties.
Standalone value
Each phase delivers usable output, even if you stop there.
Predictable cost
Defined scope and estimates before work begins.
Engagement Models
Three Ways to Work with CodeBranch
Each model is designed for a different stage of your project. Start with whichever fits — and move between them as your needs evolve.
Software Product Definition
Before writing a single line of code, CodeBranch works with your team to turn your vision into a concrete, buildable plan. This phase defines exactly what gets built, how it integrates with your existing systems, and what the timeline and cost look like.
Who it's for: Founders with an idea that needs structure. Product teams planning a new feature or system. Companies evaluating whether to build or buy.
What happens next: You walk away with a document your engineering team (or ours) can build from immediately. If you continue with CodeBranch, the next phase starts from a clear, agreed scope — no ambiguity.
What you get
- Product requirements document (PRD)
- UI/UX wireframes and design guidelines
- Data sources and integration map
- Technology stack recommendation
- Project scope with feature-level estimates
- Milestone plan with timeline and cost
Dedicated Development Teams
A senior team embedded in your product — not contractors you manage, but a unit that owns delivery. Every dedicated team comes with a part-time project manager and software architect from day one, so you get technical leadership without having to hire it.
Who it's for: Companies that need ongoing development capacity. Scale-ups augmenting their in-house team. Enterprises spinning up new product initiatives without pulling core teams off their roadmap.
No commitment clause: You stay because the work ships, not because of a contract. Scale up, scale down, or pause — the team adapts to your needs.
What you get
- Part-time PM + Software Architect from day one
- Scalable cross-functional engineering unit
- Agentic development pipeline configured for your codebase
- Continuous feature delivery and maintenance
- Full source code, documentation, and IP ownership
- Performance tracking with anonymous cross-team benchmarking
Scope-Based Development
After the Product Definition phase, CodeBranch knows the scope — so we can tell you exactly how long it will take and how much it will cost. You get a fixed price, milestone-driven delivery, and a production-ready product at the end.
Who it's for: Projects with well-defined requirements. Proof of concept (POC) builds. Companies that need budget certainty before committing.
How pricing works: Every feature is estimated in story points during Product Definition. The total scope determines the fixed price. You pay per milestone, and each milestone has clear, agreed deliverables.
What you get
- Production-ready application per agreed requirements
- AI-ready CI/CD pipeline
- SDD (Spec-Driven Development) framework
- Full source code and documentation
- Defined milestones with clear deliverables
- Fixed price — no surprises
