Or start with a [$497 Fix Sprint](https://borahlabs.us/fix-sprint). ## The problem You Spent $10K+ on Your Website. Then What? Most business websites peak the day they launch. After that, it's a slow decline, and nobody tells you. 01 ### It hasn't been touched in months PageSpeed drops. SEO decays. Competitors outrank you. Every month without improvement is a month of lost revenue. 02 ### You don't know what's broken No diagnostics. No tracking. No measurement. You're flying blind while your website quietly underperforms. 03 ### Your competitors are pulling ahead They're optimizing. You're not. The gap widens every month, and catching up gets harder the longer you wait. ## Why existing options fail Basic Maintenance Won't Fix This. Neither Will a $5K/mo Agency. Website Maintenance CRO Agency Web Boost Monthly cost $100 – $300 $3,000 – $8,000 $897 – $1,497 What you get Plugin updates, backups Strategy decks, meetings Improvements shipped to production Actual changes to your site Zero Eventually Every month Reporting "Your site is up" 40-page PDF Before/after metrics you can read in 2 min You need to Nothing (nothing happens) Attend meetings, review decks Approve a list once a month Website Maintenance Monthly cost $100 – $300 What you get Plugin updates, backups Actual changes to your site Zero Reporting "Your site is up" You need to Nothing (nothing happens) CRO Agency Monthly cost $3,000 – $8,000 What you get Strategy decks, meetings Actual changes to your site Eventually Reporting 40-page PDF You need to Attend meetings, review decks Web Boost Monthly cost $897 – $1,497 What you get Improvements shipped to production Actual changes to your site Every month Reporting Before/after metrics you can read in 2 min You need to Approve a list once a month ## The solution Web Boost: Measurable Improvements. Every Month. We combine AI-powered diagnostics with senior developers to find and fix what matters most on your website. ### AI-Powered Diagnostics We scan 200+ factors every month, speed, SEO, UX, mobile, accessibility. Issues are caught automatically, not manually. ### Expert Implementation Senior developers ship real code changes, not recommendations. Your site actually improves, not just your strategy deck. ### Measurable Results Every cycle ends with a before-and-after report. Page speed, rankings, conversions, hard numbers, not vague promises. ## How it works What Happens Every Month A repeatable 4-week cycle. Diagnose, prioritize, implement, measure. Every month your site gets measurably better. ### Diagnose Week 1 AI scans 200+ factors: speed, SEO, UX, conversions, mobile. We compare against last month and flag regressions. ### Prioritize Week 2 We rank every issue by impact and effort. You get a clear list of proposed improvements. You approve before we touch anything. ### Implement Week 3 Senior developers ship the approved changes. Real code, real improvements — not strategy decks. You see working results. ### Measure Week 4 Before-and-after report with concrete metrics. We plan the next cycle based on what moved the needle most. ## What gets improved Everything That Makes Your Website Convert Each month we work across these areas based on what will have the biggest impact on your business. ### Speed & Performance Image compression, lazy loading, caching, Core Web Vitals. Faster load times, better rankings. ### SEO On-Page Meta tags, headings, schema markup, internal linking. Be visible where your customers search. ### Conversion Rate CTAs, forms, social proof, microcopy. Turn more visitors into leads and customers. ### Mobile Experience Responsive fixes, touch optimization, mobile speed. 60%+ of your traffic is mobile. ### Content & Copy Landing pages, FAQs, service descriptions. Words that sell, structured for search engines. ### Analytics & Tracking GA4 setup, conversion tracking, event monitoring. Know exactly what's working and what's not. Not ready for monthly? ### Start with a $497 Fix Sprint. One-time. We ship one measurable improvement in 7-10 business days. $497 credited to your first Web Boost month if you continue.

Our guarantee ## Measurable improvement, or your last month back. Every cycle ends with a before-and-after report. Page speed, search rankings, conversion rates, concrete numbers. If after 3 months you don't see measurable improvement, we refund your last month. No questions asked. We've never had to. ## Scope Web Boost Is Focused. Continuous improvement of your existing site. Here's what's out of scope, if your problem is one of these, we'll point you to the right resource instead. Full redesigns or rebrands Custom apps or new features Paid ads, media buying, or PPC management Hosting migrations or DNS changes Malware removal or hacked-site recovery Broken third-party plugins (we'll flag them, not rebuild them) 200+ Factors scanned per audit 95+ Average Lighthouse score 3-4x Output vs. traditional agencies 0 Long-term contracts ## Frequently asked questions Common Questions How is this different from website maintenance? Maintenance keeps your site running — updates, backups, uptime. Web Boost makes your site better. We ship measurable improvements in speed, SEO, conversions, and UX every month. Maintenance keeps the lights on. Web Boost renovates the house. How can a small monthly retainer deliver that much output? We measure output, not timesheets. AI-powered diagnostics surface issues in minutes, and AI-assisted developers execute 3-4x faster than a traditional agency. You pay for shipped improvements, not for time spent figuring things out. Wouldn't a full redesign be better? A redesign costs 5-10x more, takes months, and resets your SEO progress. Web Boost improves your existing site incrementally. Every month your site gets measurably better without the risk and cost of starting from scratch. What if the metrics don't move? Every month you get a before-and-after report with concrete numbers: page speed scores, search rankings, conversion rates. If after 3 months you don't see measurable improvement, we refund your last month. No questions asked. We've never had to. What's not included in Web Boost? Web Boost is focused on continuous improvement of your existing site. Out of scope: full redesigns, custom apps, paid ads, hosting migrations, malware removal, and broken third-party plugins. If your problem is one of those, we'll tell you up front and point you to the right resource. I'm not ready to commit monthly. What's the entry point? Start with a Fix Sprint — $497 one-time, one measurable problem fixed in 7-10 business days. If you continue with Web Boost within 30 days, the full $497 is credited to your first month. What kind of websites do you work with? Any business website that generates (or should generate) leads and revenue. WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, custom-built — the platform doesn't matter. If your site has traffic but underperforms, Web Boost will fix that. Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan? Yes, at any time. No penalties, no waiting periods. Most clients start with Boost Growth and adjust after the first quarter based on results. Do I need to give you access to my website? Yes, we need admin access to implement changes. We use secure credential sharing, and you maintain full ownership. We never make changes without your approval first. How long before I see results? Speed improvements are visible immediately after the first cycle. SEO improvements typically show within 4-8 weeks. Conversion improvements depend on traffic volume, but most clients see measurable gains within 60 days. ## Your Website Is Losing Customers Right Now.

One Measurable Fix. Common starting points. If your problem isn't here, we'll tell you on Day 0, before any work starts. ### PageSpeed below 50 Image compression, render-blocking resources, lazy loading. Target: 80+ on mobile. ### Broken internal links We crawl the site, fix every 404, and submit a clean sitemap to Google. ### Mobile usability fails Tap targets, viewport, font sizes, layout shifts. Pass Google's mobile-friendly test. ### Missing meta + OG tags Titles, descriptions, schema, Open Graph cards. Look right in search and on social. ### Traffic regression after a redesign We diff your old vs. new site, restore lost SEO signals, and recover rankings. ### Broken contact form or checkout Test, fix, instrument. Stop leaking the leads you're already paying to acquire. ## How it works Ten Business Days. Four Steps. Scope locked Day 0. Production push by Day 10. No surprises in between. ### Audit & scope Day 0 We run a full diagnostic on your site, pick the single highest-impact fix, and confirm scope with you in writing before any work starts. ### Build Days 1-5 Senior developer ships the fix on a staging branch. We capture before-state metrics so the delta is provable. ### QA on staging Days 6-7 We test the fix end-to-end, run the new metrics, and share a preview link for your sign-off. ### Deploy & report Days 8-10 Push to production. You get a one-page before/after report with the metric delta and screenshots. ## What's included Tight Scope. No Scope Creep. Fix Sprint is a focused product. Here's exactly what's in and what's out.

Read the case study →](https://borahlabs.us/work/koppa-ai) ## FAQ Common questions Everything you need to know about our ai agents that run your workflows services. What's the difference between a chatbot and an AI agent? A chatbot responds to messages. An AI agent takes action - it can search databases, call APIs, update records, send emails, and chain multiple steps together autonomously. How do you ensure the agent doesn't go off the rails? Every agent has defined boundaries, approval workflows for high-stakes actions, and real-time monitoring. We build guardrails into the architecture, not as an afterthought. Can agents work with our existing tools? Yes. We build tool integrations for CRMs, project management tools, databases, email systems, and custom APIs. The agent uses your existing stack. How long does it take to build an AI agent? A single-purpose agent takes 4-6 weeks. A multi-agent system with complex workflows takes 8-12 weeks. We prototype fast so you can validate the approach early. ## Related services Often shipped alongside this engagement.

We build chatbots powered by your actual data that handle real conversations - and know when to escalate. AI chatbot development is the engineering work of building a conversational interface backed by a large language model, your real data, and a clear escalation path to humans. The chatbots Borah Labs ships are not scripted decision trees and not generic ChatGPT widgets — they retrieve answers from your documentation, product database, ticket history, and CRM in real time, cite their sources where it matters, and hand off to a human with full conversation context the moment confidence drops or intent moves outside their scope. A typical AI chatbot project ships in 4 to 8 weeks, with builds from $25,000, and includes the parts most off-the-shelf chatbot platforms quietly skip: a real evaluation set, structured-output validation, PII redaction, conversation analytics, escalation routing into your help desk, and multi-channel deployment (website, app, WhatsApp, Slack, Microsoft Teams) from a single brain. We measure success against deflection rate, CSAT, and the dollar value of human time recovered — not vanity metrics like total messages sent.

If your situation looks like one of these three, you'll feel at home with us. B2B SaaS, DTC ecommerce, fintech, healthtech ### Head of Support at a 50-500 person SaaS or ecommerce company Sees ticket volume scaling faster than headcount, with 60-70% of incoming tickets being repeat questions answered in the help center. Wants to deflect those without making customers angry, while preserving CSAT and giving agents better context on the tickets that do escalate. Vertical SaaS, two-sided marketplaces, embedded fintech ### Founder of a vertical SaaS or marketplace Customers repeatedly ask the same product, billing, and onboarding questions on sales calls and in-app chat. Wants a chatbot that doubles as a sales assistant and a support deflection layer, integrated into the existing product rather than a third-party widget that breaks the UI. Real estate, healthcare admin, legal services, professional services ### Operations leader at an SMB with high inquiry volume Owns the inbox and the phone line, both of which are full of repetitive intake questions. Wants a chatbot on the website and on WhatsApp that captures intent, qualifies the inquiry, books a meeting where appropriate, and escalates to a human only when there's real value at stake. The Problem ## Sound familiar? - Your current chatbot frustrates customers with rigid scripted responses that never quite match the real question, and your team spends as much time apologizing for the bot as answering tickets. - Support volume keeps growing month over month but the hiring market for qualified support reps is broken, slow, and expensive — and another full-time hire just kicks the problem down the road. - You need genuine 24/7 coverage across time zones for a global customer base but the math on staffing a round-the-clock human support team doesn't pencil out at your stage. The Solution ## How we solve it - We ground every chatbot answer in your documentation, product data, knowledge base, and historical tickets so responses are specific and citable — not generic LLM hallucinations dressed up in your brand colors. - Smart escalation routes complex or low-confidence conversations directly into your help desk (Zendesk, Intercom, HubSpot, Help Scout, Freshdesk) with the full conversation transcript, intent classification, and a suggested next step so your agents never start from zero. - One chatbot brain, multiple channels. Deploy the same model on your website, in your mobile app, on WhatsApp Business, in Slack or Microsoft Teams for internal use, and in email autoresponders — with consistent tone, consistent escalation rules, and consistent analytics. ## What you get Deliverables, with sample artifacts. Concrete outputs you can expect from this engagement — and a sample of what each one looks like. 01 ### Customer Support Chatbot An LLM-powered support bot grounded in your documentation, help center, ticket history, and FAQ. Answers come with citations so the customer can verify, the bot signals uncertainty rather than making things up, and complex tickets escalate cleanly into your existing help desk with full transcript and suggested resolution. We tune the persona, the tone, and the escalation thresholds with your team during the engagement. Sample artifact A deployed support chatbot on your site (or channel of choice), an analytics dashboard showing deflection rate and CSAT by topic, and a Zendesk/Intercom integration for escalations. 02 ### Lead Qualification Bot A conversational bot that replaces the contact form, qualifies the visitor through a natural conversation (not 14 form fields), captures the data you actually need into your CRM, scores the lead based on your criteria, and books a meeting on the right rep's calendar via SavvyCal, Calendly, or Chili Piper. Designed to convert significantly higher than a static form because it actually feels like talking to a knowledgeable salesperson. Sample artifact A live bot on your homepage or pricing page, a HubSpot/Salesforce integration writing qualified leads with intent data, and a per-channel conversion dashboard. 03 ### Internal Knowledge Bot A private chatbot your team queries for company policies, product specs, runbooks, security procedures, historical decisions, or onboarding answers. Indexes Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, Slack history, GitHub wikis — wherever your knowledge actually lives. Drops into Slack or Teams so it's where your team already is, with role-based access so different teams see different sources. Sample artifact A Slack or Teams bot, an admin dashboard showing query volume by team and most-asked topics, and a re-indexing job that runs nightly so the bot is never stale. 04 ### Multi-Channel Deployment The same chatbot brain deployed across every channel your customers actually use. Web widget, embedded SDK in your mobile app, WhatsApp Business via Twilio or 360dialog, SMS, Facebook Messenger, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email autoresponders. Single brain means consistent answers, consistent escalation, and consistent analytics — no more divergent quality between web chat and WhatsApp. Sample artifact A single chatbot service backing every channel, a unified inbox view of conversations across channels, and channel-specific compliance configuration (WhatsApp opt-ins, etc.). ## Tech stack The tools we ship with.

A typical engagement, end to end. Concrete deliverables every milestone. 1. Week 1 ### Scoping, content audit, eval set - Workshops with the support, sales, or ops team that owns the conversations the bot will handle. - Audit the content sources we'll ground answers in — docs, FAQ, ticket history, CRM notes — and flag the gaps before we ship. - Build a 50-200 question evaluation set from real customer questions, with the right answer labeled by your domain experts. - Decide model, retrieval strategy, escalation policy, and the deflection-rate target we'll measure against. 2. Weeks 2-3 ### Build the chatbot core - Ingest, chunk, and index your knowledge sources with a hybrid keyword + vector retriever and a cross-encoder reranker. - Build the conversation handler: intent classification, retrieval, grounded generation, citation injection, structured-output validation. - Implement the escalation path with conversation context, intent label, and suggested next steps written into the help desk handoff. - Run the eval set on every commit, gating deploys on accuracy regression. 3. Week 4 ### Channels, persona, analytics - Wire the bot up to the channels in scope — web widget, mobile app SDK, WhatsApp via Twilio, Slack, Teams. - Lock the persona, tone-of-voice, and refusal language with stakeholder review on real conversation transcripts. - Build the analytics dashboard: deflection rate, CSAT signal, topic distribution, escalation rate per topic, latency, cost. - Privacy & compliance pass — PII redaction, log retention, consent flows, channel-specific opt-ins. 4. Weeks 5-6 ### Soft launch & iteration - Soft launch behind a feature flag to 5-10% of traffic. Daily review of conversations with the support / sales team. - Tune retrieval, prompts, and escalation thresholds based on real conversation data — not lab tests. - Ramp to 100% once deflection rate hits target and CSAT signal stays neutral or positive. - 30-day support window included; optional retainer covers monthly model upgrades and content reindexing.

The honest version. Real trade-offs, not marketing slideware. Scenario When to use When to avoid - ### Build vs Intercom Fin / Zendesk Answer Bot When to use Off-the-shelf bots like Intercom Fin or Zendesk Answer Bot are the right call when your knowledge base is already in their system, your channel surface is just web chat, and your customization needs are low. They ship in days, not weeks. When to avoid When you need real customization (custom retrieval logic, specific escalation rules, channels they don't support, compliance constraints, or grounding in data that lives outside their tool), the off-the-shelf vendor pricing scales painfully fast and you hit the ceiling on what you can change. That's when custom is cheaper and more flexible. - ### Web widget vs WhatsApp [See Mabbly →](https://borahlabs.us/work/mabbly) When to use Web widget when your customers reach you via the site, when context-rich answers matter, and when you can deploy real interactive UI inside the chat (buttons, file upload, structured forms). Best for SaaS and ecommerce. When to avoid If your audience lives on WhatsApp (consumer brands in the US, almost all of LATAM, parts of Europe, India), the website widget will be ignored. Lead with WhatsApp Business via a verified provider like Twilio or 360dialog, and treat the web widget as a fallback. - ### RAG vs fine-tuning for chatbots [See Koppa AI →](https://borahlabs.us/work/koppa-ai) When to use RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) is the right default for chatbots. Your content changes — RAG re-indexes; fine-tuning would need re-training. RAG also gives you citations and prevents hallucination on facts. When to avoid Fine-tuning is appropriate only when you need a very specific tone-of-voice the base model can't match through prompting, and you have hundreds of high-quality labeled conversation examples. Even then, most teams ship RAG first and add fine-tuning only if the gap is real. - ### Self-host the model vs API When to use Hosted APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Vertex) are the right default for chatbots — fast inference, predictable cost per conversation, model upgrades you don't have to do yourself. Use providers with zero-data-retention contracts for regulated data. When to avoid Self-hosting an open-source model only makes sense at very high sustained volume, with hard data residency rules the cloud APIs can't meet, or for chatbots handling content the public APIs refuse. The infra and ops cost of running your own GPUs is rarely worth it before you cross the millions-of-conversations-a-month threshold. ## Real shipped work Production case studies, not pitch decks.

Read the case study →](https://borahlabs.us/work/koppa-ai) ## FAQ Common questions Everything you need to know about our ai chatbots that actually help your customers services. How accurate is the chatbot? Accuracy depends almost entirely on your data quality. On domain-specific questions backed by good documentation, we typically achieve 85-95% accuracy after the first two weeks of tuning. The bot clearly signals uncertainty when it can't ground an answer — and when confidence is low, it offers to connect with a human rather than guessing. We measure accuracy against an evaluation set of real customer questions, not vanity benchmarks. Can the chatbot learn from conversations? Yes — and we build the feedback loop into the product from day one. Customers can rate answers, agents can flag incorrect responses during escalations, and we use the flags to expand the evaluation set, improve retrieval, and refine prompts on the next deploy. The system gets measurably better over time, with each improvement gated by the eval suite so quality never regresses. What data do you need to build the chatbot? The minimum viable input is your help center or documentation. From there, the chatbot improves dramatically with each additional source: FAQs, product descriptions, pricing pages, ticket history, win/loss notes from sales, and structured data from your product database. The more grounded sources you provide, the less the bot has to fall back on the base model's general knowledge — and the higher the accuracy on questions that matter to your business. How do you handle sensitive data? All data stays in your infrastructure or approved cloud providers. We implement role-based access controls, audit logs of every conversation, automatic PII redaction in logs, and zero-data-retention contracts with model providers (OpenAI Enterprise, Anthropic ZDR, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) for any sensitive data flow. No training data leaves your environment, and we're happy to sign a BAA or DPA before kickoff for HIPAA, SOC 2, or GDPR-bound work. What does ongoing maintenance look like? We monitor chatbot performance daily — deflection rate, CSAT signal, escalation rate per topic, latency, and cost — update the knowledge base when your documentation changes, and tune responses based on real user feedback and agent flags. Maintenance plans start at $750/month and scale up to a full-retainer model where new features ship monthly alongside performance work. Most clients move to a retainer after the initial engagement. Can the chatbot take actions, not just answer questions? Yes — that's the line between a chatbot and an AI agent. We can wire the bot up to your APIs to look up an order status, change a subscription, schedule a meeting, create a support ticket, or update CRM data. Anything with a write effect goes through explicit confirmation prompts and gets logged for audit. If you need heavy multi-step automation, see our AI agent development service for that specifically. How long does it take to build? A focused single-channel chatbot ships in 4-6 weeks. A multi-channel deployment (web + WhatsApp + Slack, for example) with custom escalation and CRM writes runs 6-8 weeks. The two-week AI Strategy & Audit is a lighter starting point if you're not yet sure which use case to ship first. We commit to dates during scoping and ship to them. What's the cost to run a chatbot in production? Per-conversation cost depends on conversation length and the model. A typical support chatbot runs $0.01–$0.10 per conversation in API costs after caching and prompt optimization. At 10,000 conversations a month that's $100–$1,000 in model spend. We design every system with token budgets, caching, and fallback to cheaper models for routine questions so the cost is predictable and visible on a dashboard. Will the chatbot replace our support team? Almost never the goal we recommend. The math that works is: deflect 30-70% of repetitive volume so your existing team has more time for the conversations that actually need a human. The bot escalates with full context so agents start ahead of where they would on a fresh ticket. Customers who do reach a human are happier because the bot didn't waste their time, and your team grows into a higher-leverage role rather than a queue-clearing one. ## Related services Often shipped alongside this engagement.

Engagements range from a $2,000 AI Product Audit to fixed builds from $25,000 and ongoing partnerships from $8,500/month. Audit cost $2K fixed Build timeline 6-8 weeks Partner range $8.5K-$15K/mo Output Working software ## Big firm vs in-house vs Borah Strategy decks vs shipped systems The dirty secret of AI consulting: most engagements end before any code reaches production. | | Big-firm consulting | In-house POC | Borah | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Audit cost | $150K-$500K | Months of engineer time | $2,000 fixed | | First build plan | Month 4-6 | If you survive the politics | Week 1 | | Output | Slide deck + roadmap | POC notebook on someone's laptop | Production system + ROI numbers | | ROI measured | By the next consulting phase | Rarely | Built into build scope | | Senior engineers in the room | Bait-and-switch to juniors | Yours - already busy | Same team start to finish | | Vendor lock-in | Their preferred stack | Whatever stuck | Model and stack agnostic | | EU AI Act / governance | Separate workstream | After the fact | Default architecture | We don't compete with EY or Deloitte on $50M digital transformations. We compete with them on the SMB and mid-market work that actually ships. ## Who hires us Three buyers we ship for If you don't see your shape here, we'll be honest about it on the call. SMB ### Operator who senses AI is real this time 20-200 employees. You see competitors using AI. Your team has tried ChatGPT in tabs. You need a serious read on where AI moves your numbers - and a partner that can build it without hiring an ML team. Agency ### Agency white-labeling AI for clients Marketing, ops, or vertical SaaS agency. Your clients are asking for AI. You don't want to staff up. You need a senior partner to scope, build, and ship under your brand on a predictable cost. Mid-market ### Tech leader with too many stalled POCs $20M-$200M revenue. You have 4 stalled AI projects, a backlog of internal requests, and a CFO asking for evidence. You need a focused team to ship one production system that pays back, then scale from there. ## Where AI moves the needle The use cases that actually pay back The boring wins in order of payback. We have shipped each of these in production for real clients. Customer support Payback 30-90 days ### RAG over your knowledge base Deflect 30-60% of repetitive tickets, surface answers for agents in real time, and capture every gap as a content task. Sales ops Payback 60 days ### Lead enrichment and CRM hygiene Auto-enrich leads at form submission, classify intent, draft outbound copy, and keep CRM fields clean without an SDR doing data entry. Documents Payback 30-60 days ### Document and email processing Extract structured data from invoices, contracts, intake forms, and inboxes. Reduce manual processing by 70-95% with audit logs for every decision. Content ops Payback 60-120 days ### Content production at scale Brief-to-draft pipelines for blogs, listings, product descriptions, internal reports. Brand-safe, evaluated against rubrics, human in the loop. Internal search Payback 60 days ### Search across messy SaaS data Unified search across Notion, Drive, Slack, GitHub, and CRM. Answers, not just links. The end of 'who has the latest version?' Quality / ops Payback 90 days ### Inspection, classification, triage Image, video, or text classification at production volumes. Routing rules that escalate when confidence drops below threshold. ## Our framework How we scope an AI engagement in 5 steps Same framework whether the engagement is $2,000 or $250,000. The only thing that changes is how many use cases we ship. 01 ### Map operations to LLM capability We sit with your team, walk the workflows, and tag each one against what LLMs are actually good at: extraction, classification, generation, routing, retrieval. Out: a candidate list nobody could write at a desk. 02 ### Score and rank by ROI Each candidate gets ROI estimate, complexity score, risk surface, and time-to-value. We rank, you pick. The picks that don't survive this step never see code. 03 ### Pilot one in production Real data, real users, real failure modes. Built with evals from day one so we can prove the system is better than the baseline - not just demo well. 04 ### Measure against baseline Pre-defined success metrics tracked in a dashboard your team owns. Honest read on what's working, what isn't, and whether to keep going. 05 ### Roll out and harden Production deploy, monitoring, cost controls, runbooks, on-call. The system survives a Tuesday morning, not just the demo. ## Engagement formats Pick the level of involvement Three published prices. The audit is fixed. Builds are fixed-scope.

Honest answers. What is AI consulting and what should it deliver? AI consulting helps a business identify, prioritize, and implement use cases for artificial intelligence - typically large language models and machine learning. A good engagement should deliver three things: a ranked list of high-ROI opportunities, at least one working production pilot, and a roadmap for scaling that doesn't require hiring an internal AI team. How is this different from McKinsey, EY, or Deloitte AI consulting? Big-firm AI consulting bills $200K+ for a strategy phase that ends in a slide deck. We bill $2,000 for a 1-week AI Product Audit that ends in a build plan and a fixed quote, then a fixed-scope build from $25,000 that ends in working software with measured ROI. We're not for $50M+ enterprise transformations - we're for SMBs and mid-market companies that want shipped AI, not a binder. Which AI providers do you work with? We're model-agnostic. We use OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Vertex / Gemini, and open-source models (Llama, Mistral, Gemma) depending on your accuracy, latency, cost, and data-residency requirements. Most production systems we build use 2-3 models routed by task. Where does AI actually move the needle for SMBs? The boring wins, in order of payback: customer support deflection (RAG over knowledge base), sales ops (lead enrichment, CRM updates, meeting notes), document and email processing, content operations at scale, internal search across messy SaaS data, and quality inspection / categorization for ops-heavy businesses. How long until we see ROI? The 1-week audit estimates expected ROI before you commit, and the build ships in 6 to 8 weeks. Most clients see positive ROI within 90 days of going to production, because we only build use cases that pencil out at the audit stage. What does a typical engagement cost? AI Product Audit: $2,000 fixed. Flagship Build: from $25,000. Product Partner retainer: from $8,500/mo for ongoing AI build-out. We publish all our pricing on the /pricing page and quote everything before work begins. How do you handle data privacy and EU AI Act compliance? We design every system with data residency, PII redaction, audit logs, and model usage policies built in. Through our partner Dataweavrs (Belgium) we deliver EU AI Act compliance work for clients in regulated industries. SOC2, HIPAA, and GDPR-aware architecture is the default, not an upgrade. Can you train our team to maintain the systems you build? Yes. Every engagement includes documentation, runbooks, and a knowledge transfer plan. We've handed off systems to in-house teams as small as one engineer. If you don't want to maintain it, we can keep running it on retainer. ## Ship your AI product to production in 6 to 8 weeks.

We build AI features that run reliably in production - integrated into your existing systems. AI integration services connect large language models, vector search, and automation pipelines to the systems your business already runs on — your CRM, your support inbox, your internal tools, your data warehouse, your product. The work is mostly engineering, not research: prompt design, retrieval pipelines, evaluation harnesses, cost controls, monitoring, structured-output validation, and graceful fallbacks. A typical AI integration project at Borah Labs starts with a paid AI Product Audit ($2,000) and ships builds from $25,000. We use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-source models, choose the cheapest one that meets your accuracy bar, and put a human-in-the-loop wherever the cost of a wrong answer is higher than the cost of a review. We do not run six-month research engagements, we do not build chat sidebars that no one uses, and we do not hand you a Jupyter notebook and call it a feature. The deliverable is always the same shape: a working feature inside your product or workflow, owned by your team, instrumented so you can watch it earn its keep, and documented so the next engineer can swap models in a single PR when the next release lands.

If your situation looks like one of these three, you'll feel at home with us. Marketing agencies, law firms, healthcare admin, accounting ### Operations leader at a 30-200 person services company Drowning in repetitive document work — proposals, intake forms, summaries, QA reviews. Wants to recover 20-40% of an analyst's week without hiring. Has clean inputs in PDFs, Sheets, or a CRM and a clear definition of "done" for each task. B2B SaaS, dev tools, fintech, vertical SaaS ### Product manager at a Series-A to Series-B SaaS Has a roadmap with 'add AI' on it for two quarters. Wants a concrete user-facing feature — a copilot, an intelligent search box, a summarization layer — that lifts a real metric, not a chatbot bolt-on. Engineering is busy on the core product and needs an external team that won't burn cycles. Distribution, professional services, real estate, ecommerce ops ### Founder or COO running an established SMB Drowning in inbox triage, supplier docs, support tickets, or contract review. Knows AI can probably help but doesn't know where to start. Wants a senior team to run a 2-week audit, prioritize a roadmap, and ship the first feature inside the same engagement. The Problem ## Sound familiar? - You've sat through impressive AI demos but can't figure out how any of it actually plugs into your business processes — your CRM, your ticketing system, the way your team really works on a Tuesday afternoon. - Your team or a previous vendor spent three to six months on an AI proof-of-concept that demoed beautifully and then died on the way to production: no monitoring, no eval set, no cost controls, no path to maintenance. - You need AI capabilities to keep up with the market but you don't have ML engineers on staff, and hiring a senior one in 2026 means six months of recruiting and a $250K+ comp package before any code ships. The Solution ## How we solve it - We start with your business problem, not the technology. Every AI feature we build has a measurable ROI target locked in week one — deflection rate, time saved, conversion lift — so you know on day 30 whether it's earning its keep. - Production-grade from day one. Eval suites in CI, structured-output validation, fallbacks for low-confidence answers, audit logs, cost dashboards, and a runbook your team can act on without paging us at 11pm. - You get senior AI engineers who've shipped LLM-powered features for real US businesses (Mabbly, Koppa, internal tools at distribution and SaaS clients) — not researchers chasing benchmarks or generalist devs learning AI on your dime. ## What you get Deliverables, with sample artifacts. Concrete outputs you can expect from this engagement — and a sample of what each one looks like. 01 ### LLM-Powered Features Customer-facing or internal features that use a language model in the request path: copilots, summarizers, classifiers, content generators, intent routers, brief drafters, meeting recap layers. We design the prompt strategy, build the evaluation set before we write production code, wire the feature into your existing UI and auth, ship it behind a feature flag, and instrument it so you can see token cost, p95 latency, and accuracy on every release. We treat the prompt as code: versioned in your repo, reviewed in PRs, regression-tested in CI. Sample artifact A merged PR adding the feature to your codebase, an eval suite that runs in CI, a Notion or Confluence doc of the prompt strategy, and a one-page runbook for swapping models when the next release lands. 02 ### Workflow Automation End-to-end AI pipelines for the high-volume repetitive work that's eating your team — document processing, email triage, support deflection, lead enrichment, content moderation, QA flagging, contract review. We build the trigger (webhook, cron, queue, or inbox listener), the retrieval and decision steps, the human-in-the-loop checkpoints for low-confidence outputs, and the audit log so nothing happens that can't be reviewed, replayed, or rolled back later. Sample artifact A deployed n8n / Temporal / custom worker pipeline running in your infra, a dashboard showing daily volume processed and human-override rate, and a runbook your ops team can act on without paging us. 03 ### Intelligent Search & RAG Retrieval-augmented generation over your documents, knowledge base, product catalog, support history, internal wiki, or proprietary data. We handle the full ingestion pipeline (loaders, parsers, OCR if needed), chunking strategy tuned to your content, embedding model selection, vector store sizing, hybrid keyword-plus-vector search, reranking with a cross-encoder, and grounded answer generation with inline citations — not a generic ChatGPT box stapled to your data. Sample artifact A working search endpoint with citations and a confidence score per answer, an embeddings refresh job that runs on a schedule you choose, and a sample evaluation report showing answer quality on 50 of your real questions. 04 ### AI Strategy & Audit Two-week senior-led audit that maps your operational and product surface area to specific AI use cases, scores each one on impact and feasibility against the data and tooling you actually have, and produces a 90-day build roadmap with the riskiest assumptions called out. We include cost estimates per feature in API and engineering hours, model recommendations, honest build-vs-buy calls on existing AI tools, and the integrations we'd hit first. Sample artifact A 25-30 page audit deck, a prioritized backlog already loaded into your tracker, and a fixed-price proposal for the next engagement so there's no pricing surprise after the audit. ## Tech stack The tools we ship with.

A typical engagement, end to end. Concrete deliverables every milestone. 1. Week 1 ### Scoping & evaluation harness - Two working sessions with the team that owns the workflow today, to define the user, the task, the constraints, and what "correct" looks like for this AI feature. - Build a 30-100 question evaluation set from real examples in your data, with the right answer labeled by your domain expert. - Choose the model and retrieval strategy with a hard cost estimate per 1,000 calls and a latency budget per request. - Lock the single business metric you'll measure against in production — deflection rate, time saved per ticket, conversion uplift, etc. 2. Weeks 2-3 ### Build the production pipeline - Ingest, chunk, and index your data sources (PDFs, knowledge bases, transcripts, product catalogs, ticket history) where applicable. - Wire the model into your existing app, queue, or workflow. We work in your codebase, on a feature branch, in PRs your team reviews. - Implement fallbacks, retries, structured-output validation, rate limits, and idempotency for any side-effecting calls. - Run the eval set on every commit and on every prompt change; ship behind a feature flag toggled by your team, not us. 3. Week 4 ### Human-in-the-loop & monitoring - Add a review or override surface for any decision below the confidence threshold you set, with a single-click approve/reject UX so reviewers don't churn. - Set up dashboards for token cost, latency, error rate, accuracy on the eval set, and review-override rate broken down by user. - Configure alerts for cost overruns, quality regressions, and any unexpected drift in the input distribution. - Internal stakeholder demo with the team that will actually use this every day, and a written feedback loop. 4. Weeks 5-6 ### Production rollout - Gradual rollout — 1% → 10% → 50% → 100% with explicit metric checks at each stage and a documented rollback procedure. - Hand off the runbook, on-call rota for the first month, and the prompt-update procedure your engineering team will own going forward. - First post-launch eval-set refresh from real production traffic, with new failure modes added to the regression suite. - 30-day support window included; optional retainer from week 7 covers monthly evals, model upgrades, and incremental improvements.

The honest version. Real trade-offs, not marketing slideware. Scenario When to use When to avoid - ### OpenAI vs Anthropic [See Mabbly →](https://borahlabs.us/work/mabbly) When to use OpenAI's GPT-4o for tool use and function calling at scale, structured output, and the strongest ecosystem of SDKs. Best default when you need broad capability and cheap cost-per-token. When to avoid When the task involves long-context reasoning, careful instruction-following, or content where hallucination cost is high — Anthropic's Claude often wins on faithfulness and steerability there. - ### RAG vs fine-tuning When to use RAG when your data changes weekly, when you need citations, or when you need to answer about specific documents. It's faster to ship, cheaper to run, and trivial to update. When to avoid Fine-tuning is the right call only when you need to match a tone or schema the base model can't reproduce reliably with prompting — and you have hundreds of high-quality labeled examples to invest in. - ### Pinecone vs pgvector [See Koppa AI →](https://borahlabs.us/work/koppa-ai) When to use Pinecone or a hosted vector DB when you'll cross 10M+ vectors, need multi-region replication, or care about sub-100ms p99 at scale. Operationally simple, predictable cost. When to avoid If you already run Postgres and have under 5M vectors, pgvector is plenty. One fewer service to operate, search lives next to your primary data, and the SQL ergonomics are worth a lot. - ### LangChain vs DIY When to use LangChain (or LlamaIndex) when you're prototyping fast, evaluating multiple retrievers, or your pipeline genuinely needs the abstraction — agent loops, complex tool chains, multiple model swaps. When to avoid For a single-shot LLM call with one retrieval step, the framework is usually more code than the direct SDK. Skip it; you'll thank yourself in six months. - ### Self-hosting vs API When to use Self-host an open-source model (Llama, Mistral, Qwen) when you have hard data-residency rules, need predictable infra cost at very high volume, or work with content the public APIs won't accept. Best on a managed inference layer like Bedrock, Vertex, or a dedicated GPU host. When to avoid For most early-stage AI features, hosted APIs are dramatically cheaper than running your own GPUs. Don't self-host until volume actually justifies it; the engineering team you'd need to keep it healthy is the real cost, not the hardware. ## Real shipped work Production case studies, not pitch decks.

Read the case study →](https://borahlabs.us/work/koppa-ai) ## FAQ Common questions Everything you need to know about our ai that works in production services. Which AI models do you work with? We're model-agnostic. We ship with OpenAI's GPT-4o family, Anthropic's Claude family, Google's Gemini, and open-source models (Llama, Mistral, Qwen) when self-hosting matters. We pick per task based on cost, latency, accuracy on your eval set, and any data-residency constraints you have. The choice is never permanent — model swaps are usually a one-line config change in our pipelines. How much does it cost to run AI features in production? We design every system with explicit cost controls — token budgets per request, caching, batching, and the cheapest viable model for the task. A typical small AI feature runs $50-300/month in API costs. A heavy RAG workload over a large corpus runs $500-3,000/month. We give you a per-1,000-call cost estimate before you commit, and we wire up dashboards so the number stops being a surprise. Can you add AI to our existing application? Yes — that's the most common shape of engagement. We integrate via your existing APIs, queues, or webhooks, and we work in the codebase you already own. Laravel, Next.js, Django, Rails, Node, FastAPI — we've shipped AI features into all of them. We don't ask you to migrate stacks to use AI. What if the AI makes mistakes? Every system we ship includes confidence scoring, structured-output validation, fallbacks for low-confidence outputs, an audit log of every model call, and a human-in-the-loop review surface for anything above your defined risk threshold. We design for graceful failure, not blind automation. You decide where the line is — we wire the system to enforce it. How long does an AI integration take? A focused single-feature integration ships in 3-6 weeks. A full RAG system or workflow with multiple integrations runs 6-10 weeks. The two-week AI Strategy & Audit is a lighter-weight starting point if you don't yet know which feature to build first. We commit to dates during scoping and ship to them. Do you handle data privacy and compliance? We default to providers with zero-data-retention contracts (OpenAI Enterprise, Anthropic ZDR, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) for any sensitive data flow, and we self-host open-source models when that's the right call. We've shipped AI work under HIPAA, SOC 2, and EU GDPR constraints — we're happy to sign a BAA or DPA before we start. Can you build agents that take actions, not just answer questions? Yes — that's a different shape of engagement we call AI agents. They use tool calling to write to your CRM, send emails, query your database, or trigger workflows. Mabbly is a published example: an agent that researches, drafts, and ships marketing case studies end-to-end. See our AI agent development service for that kind of work specifically. What if the model improves after we ship? Good problem to have. Our pipelines abstract the model behind a single config, so swapping GPT-4o for the next thing is one PR plus an eval-set rerun. We document this swap procedure in the runbook we hand off, and our retainer clients get model upgrades as part of monthly maintenance. Can you train a custom model on our data? We can fine-tune open-source models or use the fine-tune APIs from OpenAI/Anthropic when the use case actually needs it — but most teams don't. Modern base models with good RAG and prompt strategy beat fine-tuning for the majority of business workloads, ship faster, and cost less to maintain. We'll tell you honestly which side of that line your problem sits on, usually within the first scoping call. How do you measure that an AI feature is actually working? Every engagement starts with us building an evaluation set — 30 to 100 real examples from your data, with the right answer labeled for each one. That eval suite runs in CI on every commit, gives us an objective accuracy number per release, and stops us from regressing in places no one would otherwise notice. In production, we instrument the feature with the business metric you actually care about (deflection rate, time saved per ticket, conversion uplift, review-override rate). If we can't define that metric on day one, we usually recommend not shipping the feature yet. Will we get locked into a single AI provider? No. The whole pipeline is built behind a model adapter so OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and self-hosted Llama or Qwen models swap with a config change. Prompts are versioned in your codebase, eval sets are vendor-neutral, and any vector store we use stores raw text alongside embeddings so you can re-index with a different embedding model later without losing your data. Vendor flexibility is a deliverable, not an afterthought. Do you work with US clients only? Borah Labs is a US-registered LLC (Delaware) and our delivery team operates in US-friendly time zones. Most of our AI integration clients are US-based, but we've shipped AI work for teams in Europe, the UK, and APAC too. Contracting and invoicing are in USD by default; EUR / GBP are available on request. What does a typical engagement look like, end to end? A typical AI integration engagement runs four to six weeks of focused work, billed against a fixed scope agreed in week one. Week one is scoping and evaluation; weeks two and three are the core build; week four is human-in-the-loop and monitoring; weeks five and six are gradual rollout, handoff, and the first post-launch eval refresh. You get a senior AI engineer leading the work, a project manager keeping the schedule honest, and access to the wider Borah Labs team for adjacent help — frontend, backend, data, DevOps. We work in your codebase, in PRs reviewed by your team, with a public Linear or Plane board so you can see exactly where things stand on any given day. Everything we ship is documented enough that your engineering team can take it over and evolve it without us. ## Related services Often shipped alongside this engagement.

The work spans direct API connections (Salesforce ↔ Stripe ↔ NetSuite, for example), custom middleware that transforms and routes data, webhook processing for event-driven workflows, and the development of new APIs for systems that don't have one yet. A typical API integration project at Borah Labs ships in 3 to 8 weeks, with builds from $25,000, and includes the parts most low-code tools quietly skip: retry logic, idempotency, dead-letter queues, schema validation, observability, and a runbook your operations team can act on at 2am. We've built integrations across HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, Stripe, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Plaid, Twilio, Zendesk, Intercom, and dozens of vertical-specific tools — and we're the team you call when Zapier or Make finally breaks under volume.

If your situation looks like one of these three, you'll feel at home with us. B2B services, distribution, professional services, vertical SaaS ### Operations or RevOps lead at a 50-300 person SMB Owns the tool stack — Salesforce / HubSpot, NetSuite / QuickBooks, Stripe, a CRM and a CS platform — and is constantly chasing data discrepancies between them. Wants the integrations to just work without paying a per-tool integration platform $40K/year. B2B SaaS, fintech, vertical SaaS, marketplaces ### Engineering leader at a Series-A to Series-C SaaS Has 20+ enterprise customers asking for integrations into their stack — Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Workday, Okta — and a roadmap that's already booked. Needs an external team that can own integration delivery as a product line without distracting the core engineering team. Ecommerce ops, agency operations, services with high transaction volume ### Founder or COO replacing a brittle no-code automation Has Zapier, Make, or n8n flows duct-taping the business together. Volume has grown past what those tools handle reliably and the workarounds (filters, paths, retries) have become unmaintainable. Wants a real, owned integration layer with the same business logic but production-grade reliability. The Problem ## Sound familiar? - Your team copies data between three or four different systems every day — quotes from the CRM into the ERP, contacts from marketing into sales, payouts from billing into accounting — because nothing talks to each other reliably. - You bought great SaaS tools individually but they don't integrate, and the Zapier or Make workflow holding it all together silently breaks once a week and nobody notices until a customer complains. - A vendor's API documentation is unreadable, the auth flow is undocumented, the rate limits aren't published, and your team can't figure out the integration after weeks of trial and error. The Solution ## How we solve it - Custom API integrations that sync data reliably between your systems with retry logic, idempotency, dead-letter queues, schema validation, and clear ownership of the source of truth for every field. - We build middleware that orchestrates complex workflows across multiple services — Salesforce, Stripe, NetSuite, your warehouse system — and exposes a clean, versioned API for your internal teams to build on. - Monitoring, alerting, and a single dashboard so you know within minutes if a sync fails or drifts, not days later when the finance team finds the discrepancy in a reconciliation report. ## What you get Deliverables, with sample artifacts. Concrete outputs you can expect from this engagement — and a sample of what each one looks like. 01 ### System-to-System Integration Direct API connections between the platforms running your business — CRM, ERP, accounting, support, marketing, billing — with explicit source-of-truth rules per field, conflict resolution, real-time or batch sync depending on the use case, and full audit logs of every record changed. We design around the messy real-world cases (deletions, deduplication, schema drift) most integrations skip. Sample artifact A deployed integration service running in your infra, a field-level mapping document showing where each piece of data lives, and a Datadog or Grafana dashboard with sync health, error rate, and latency. 02 ### Custom Middleware An integration layer that sits between your tools, transforms data into a canonical schema, applies your business rules (currency conversion, tax logic, account hierarchy), and routes events to the right downstream systems. The middleware exposes a clean internal API your engineering team can build new features on instead of integrating against five vendors directly. Sample artifact A versioned internal API with OpenAPI documentation, a deployment in your infra (Docker, Lambda, Cloud Run — your call), and a Postman collection your team can use day one. 03 ### Webhook Processing Event-driven integrations that react in real time to changes in any connected system — a new Stripe charge, a closed Salesforce deal, an updated Shopify order — with idempotent handlers, replay support, ordered delivery where it matters, and a dead-letter queue with one-click retry for anything that fails. We build the listener, the queue, the handlers, and the observability around them. Sample artifact A deployed webhook service, a queue dashboard showing in-flight, succeeded, and dead-lettered events, and a one-click replay tool for handling failures without paging engineering. 04 ### API Development When the tool you need to connect doesn't have an API, we build one. RESTful or GraphQL endpoints over your internal systems, with auth, rate limits, versioning, OpenAPI documentation, and SDK generation for the languages your customers actually use. The kind of API your enterprise customers ask for in their security review. Sample artifact A deployed REST or GraphQL API, OpenAPI spec, generated client SDKs, and a developer portal with example requests and response schemas. ## Tech stack The tools we ship with.

A typical engagement, end to end. Concrete deliverables every milestone. 1. Week 1 ### Discovery & contract design - Map every system in the integration scope, what data each one owns, and the source of truth per field. - Document auth, rate limits, webhook capabilities, and pagination behavior for each external API — including the parts the vendor's docs leave out. - Design the canonical data schema and the transformation layer between each system and that schema. - Lock SLAs: latency targets, retry policy, what happens when a sync fails permanently. 2. Weeks 2-3 ### Build the integration layer - Implement the connectors with retry logic, idempotency, schema validation, and structured logging. - Stand up the middleware, queues, and dead-letter handling on the infra of your choice (your AWS, your GCP, our managed environment). - Wire up webhook listeners with replay support and ordered delivery where the business requires it. - Backfill historical data into the canonical layer with a documented procedure for re-running it. 3. Week 4 ### Observability & runbooks - Build the dashboards: sync health by integration, error rate, latency p95/p99, queue depth, dead-letter count. - Configure alerting via your existing Slack / PagerDuty / Datadog setup. Alerts fire on patterns that matter, not on every transient blip. - Write the runbook: what each alert means, how to triage, how to replay failed events, escalation path. - Run a chaos drill — disconnect one of the source systems and confirm the integration recovers cleanly. 4. Weeks 5-6 ### Cutover & handoff - Run the new integration in shadow mode alongside the existing process for a week, comparing outputs. - Cut over once the shadow run shows zero discrepancy. Decommission the old Zapier / scripts / manual process. - Hand off the runbook, the dashboards, and an internal training session for the team that owns operations day-to-day. - 30-day post-launch support included; optional retainer covers ongoing schema changes and new vendor versions.

The honest version. Real trade-offs, not marketing slideware. Scenario When to use When to avoid - ### REST vs GraphQL for new APIs [See RLC Solutions →](https://borahlabs.us/work/rlc) When to use REST when consumers are diverse, when the API will be cached at the edge (CDN, gateway), or when most clients want a small slice of resource data. Operationally simpler, every tool understands it, and HTTP semantics map cleanly to your domain. When to avoid If your API is consumed by a single first-party frontend that pulls deeply nested data, GraphQL's request-shaping wins on round-trip count and developer ergonomics. Don't ship GraphQL just because it's modern — only when the consumption pattern actually justifies it. - ### Custom integration vs Zapier / Make When to use Zapier or Make are the right call for low-volume, low-business-criticality, low-data-transformation flows where downtime costs you nothing and a hobbyist can fix it. Onboarding a new lead into a Slack channel is fine. When to avoid Once volume passes ~50K events/month, once a failure costs revenue, once you need data transformation more complex than basic field mapping, or once compliance asks who has access — switch to custom. The total cost is lower and the operational risk drops dramatically. - ### Polling vs webhooks When to use Webhooks for event-driven workflows where latency matters — order placed, payment failed, support ticket opened. Real-time, lower load, lower cost. When to avoid When the source system's webhooks are unreliable (no replay, no ordering, no signing), polling is sometimes the safer call. We commonly use webhooks plus an hourly reconciliation poll as a belt-and-braces strategy. - ### Lambda / Cloud Run vs always-on services [See Workwize →](https://borahlabs.us/work/workwize) When to use Serverless (AWS Lambda, Cloud Run, Cloudflare Workers) for spiky webhook traffic and infrequent batch jobs. You pay only for execution and you scale to zero between events. When to avoid For high sustained throughput, anything needing local state, or workloads with very chatty downstream calls, an always-on service on ECS or a Kubernetes cluster is cheaper and more predictable. Cold starts also stop being acceptable past a certain SLA. ## Real shipped work Production case studies, not pitch decks. Two engagements that mirror the kind of work you'd hand us.

Can you integrate with [specific tool]? If it has an API, we can integrate with it. We've shipped production integrations against Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Shopify, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Slack, Twilio, Plaid, Zendesk, Intercom, Workday, Okta, Snowflake, BigQuery, and dozens of niche industry tools. We've also reverse-engineered integrations into legacy systems with no public API when there was no other option. How do you handle API rate limits? We implement queuing, exponential backoff with jitter, request batching where the API supports it, and a per-vendor token-bucket rate limiter so you stay safely under the published limits. We also instrument the limit usage so you can see how close you're running to the ceiling — and we get ahead of it before it bites you in production. What if a sync fails? Every integration we build includes structured retries with exponential backoff, a dead-letter queue for anything that exceeds the retry budget, alerts to your Slack or PagerDuty within minutes of a failure pattern emerging, and a one-click replay tool for the ops team. Failed events are never silently dropped — they're queued, logged, and visible in the dashboard until they're resolved. Why not just use Zapier, Make, or n8n? Those tools are great for early-stage, low-volume, low-criticality automations and we recommend them often for that case. The honest break-points: you should switch to custom integration when monthly event volume crosses ~50K, when a failure costs real revenue or trust, when you need data transformation beyond basic field mapping, when compliance asks who has access to customer data flowing through it, or when you've hit the limits of the tool's filtering and conditional logic. The total cost of ownership is usually lower past those thresholds. How do you handle authentication and credentials? OAuth 2.0 where the vendor supports it (with token refresh handled), API keys stored in your secrets manager (AWS Secrets Manager, GCP Secret Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or your existing solution), short-lived service tokens for service-to-service auth, and per-environment credential rotation procedures. We never check secrets into the repo, never email them, and we hand off rotation playbooks at the end of every engagement. Can you backfill historical data? Yes. Most engagements include a one-time backfill of historical data from the source system into the canonical layer, with a documented procedure for re-running it (because you'll need to). We design backfills to be idempotent so re-running doesn't double-write, and we run them in dry-mode against staging before touching production. Do you handle two-way sync? Yes — and this is where most integrations fail. Two-way sync needs explicit conflict resolution (last-write-wins, source-of-truth-per-field, or human-in-the-loop), loop prevention (so an update in System A doesn't bounce back from System B and overwrite itself), and careful handling of deletes. We design the conflict-resolution rules with you in week one, document them, and build the integration to enforce them rather than hoping nothing collides. How long does an API integration take? A single point-to-point integration with one source and one destination ships in 3-4 weeks. A middleware layer connecting four to six systems takes 6-8 weeks. A new API for a system that didn't have one before runs 6-10 weeks depending on the complexity of the underlying domain. We commit to dates during scoping and ship to them. Do you build in our cloud or yours? Yours, by default. We work in your AWS, GCP, or Azure account so the running infrastructure is yours from day one — no lock-in, no migration when the engagement ends. If you don't have a cloud account yet we can stand up a dedicated one and hand it over, or run the integration in our managed environment temporarily while yours is provisioned. How do you handle vendor API changes? Vendors deprecate endpoints, change response shapes, and rotate auth schemes more often than they tell you about. We subscribe to the changelog of every vendor API in scope, run a contract test daily that hits a sample of endpoints to catch silent shape changes, and design the integration so vendor-specific code is isolated to a thin adapter layer — meaning a vendor migration is usually a one-file change, not a full rebuild. Retainer clients get adapter updates as part of monthly maintenance. Can you migrate us off a brittle Zapier or Make setup? That's one of the most common shapes of engagement. We start by reverse-engineering the existing flows — every Zap or scenario, every filter, every conditional path, every variable — and document them as a unified spec. We then rebuild the logic on a real integration layer, run both side-by-side in shadow mode for a week to confirm parity, and only cut over once the comparison shows zero behavioral drift. The Zapier subscription gets cancelled at the end and the savings often pay back the project in under a year. ## Related services Often shipped alongside this engagement.

Shopify or custom? Shopify for most ecommerce businesses - it handles payments, inventory, and shipping better than any custom solution. Custom only when you need functionality Shopify truly can't support. What about headless Shopify? Headless gives you a custom frontend (faster, more flexible) with Shopify's backend (reliable, feature-rich). It's the best of both worlds, but adds development complexity. Worth it for high-traffic stores. Can you improve our existing store's conversion rate? Yes. We audit your store's performance, checkout flow, and UX, then implement targeted improvements. Most stores see measurable conversion improvements within the first month. Do you handle product photography or content? We focus on development. We can recommend trusted partners for photography, copywriting, and marketing. We'll ensure the store is optimized to showcase whatever content you create. ## Related services Often shipped alongside this engagement.

Senior technical leadership, hiring guidance, architecture, and a team that ships - on a monthly retainer, not a salary. image: https://borahlabs.us/og/services--fractional-cto.png --- 9 min read # A Fractional CTO Who Actually Builds Most fractional CTOs only advise. We give you a senior tech leader plus the engineers to execute - one retainer, one accountable team, no slide decks gathering dust. A fractional CTO is a senior technology leader embedded in your company part-time on a monthly retainer — typically 20 to 60 hours per month — covering the work a full-time CTO would do without the full-time salary. The standard fractional CTO market sells advisory only: someone smart sits on a weekly call and writes opinions. Borah Labs sells fractional CTO services bundled with an embedded engineering team, so when the strategy says "refactor the auth layer," we refactor it; when the roadmap says "ship a billing redesign in six weeks," the same retainer covers leadership, design, and engineering. Three engagement formats: Product Partner ($8,500/month, leadership plus senior engineering), Embedded Team ($12,000/month, a senior squad), and Fractional CTO + Team ($15,000+/month, an embedded full-time pod). Cancel with 30 days notice, no equity, no lock-in. Engagements typically run 6 to 18 months — long enough to land a hiring plan and ship the highest-impact items, short enough to hand off cleanly to a permanent CTO when you're ready.

If your situation looks like one of these three, you'll feel at home with us. Pre-seed to Series-A startups across B2B SaaS, fintech, AI, marketplaces ### Funded founder, no senior tech leader You raised, hired your first one or two engineers, and now every architecture call, vendor selection, and hiring decision lands on your desk. You need someone senior making the technology calls so you can stay focused on customers, fundraising, and the next milestone — not debating Postgres versus DynamoDB at 11pm. $5M-$50M revenue businesses across distribution, professional services, vertical SaaS, ecommerce ops ### SMB with a fragile codebase Your product works, customers pay, the business runs — but the codebase is held together with duct tape, the original developer is long gone, and you can't tell which agency proposals are honest. You need a technical adult in the room: someone who can read the code, audit the agencies, screen the next hire, and own the technology direction without you needing to learn it. PE-backed companies, post-acquisition integrations, founder-CTO step-backs ### Interim leadership during change Your CTO just left. You closed an acquisition and need to merge two engineering organizations. You're carving a tech function out of a holding company. You need senior leadership for 3-9 months while you run a permanent search — and you need the interim to actually move things forward, not just hold ground. The Problem ## Sound familiar? - You have product ambitions and a working business but no senior technical leader to make the calls — architecture, vendor selection, hiring, build-vs-buy — and every decision is landing on the founder's desk while the actual job goes undone. - Your last technical hire blew the budget, missed every deadline, left a codebase nobody on the team wants to touch, and walked away with the institutional knowledge — and now you're terrified of repeating the same mistake on the next hire. - A full-time CTO costs $250-300K all-in by 2026 US comp standards plus 3-6 months of recruiting time you don't have. You need that level of judgment for a fraction of the cost — and you need execution, not just slides — starting next month, not next quarter. The Solution ## How we solve it - A senior technical leader (10+ years, ex-Toptal, multiple shipped products across SaaS, fintech, ecommerce, and AI) embedded in your team part-time with a weekly leadership sync, Slack access, and direct accountability for the architecture and hiring calls that compound for years. - Strategy backed by a delivery team that actually ships what we recommend. One retainer covers leadership hours plus an embedded engineering team — designers, full-stack engineers, AI specialists — so the roadmap doesn't gather dust on Notion. - Transparent monthly pricing from $8,500 with three engagement formats matching the level of execution you need. 30 days cancel notice, no equity required, no long-term lock-in, no severance theatre. The relationship stays honest because cash is the only currency. ## What you get Deliverables, with sample artifacts. Concrete outputs you can expect from this engagement — and a sample of what each one looks like. 01 ### Technical Strategy & Roadmap A 6-12 month technical roadmap tied to your business goals, with the architecture, build-vs-buy, and vendor calls already made and documented. Includes a written assessment of the highest-impact technical risks (the things that will cost you in year two) and the order in which to address them. Reviewed quarterly with you and updated as the business evolves. Sample artifact A written 6-12 month roadmap document, an architecture-decision-record (ADR) library for the calls we make together, and a quarterly board-ready tech update template. 02 ### Hiring & Team Scorecards End-to-end hiring support for engineering and design roles. We write the job description, design the interview process, build a scorecard rubric per role, run the technical screen, design and grade the take-home (or pair-programming) round, attend the final-round panel, and weigh in on the offer. You meet only the candidates we'd hire. Sample artifact Scoring rubric per open role, a running shortlist with notes, take-home tests built and graded, and a quarterly retro on the hiring funnel. 03 ### Codebase & Vendor Audits Independent senior review of your existing codebase, your current agency or freelance relationships, or your SaaS vendor stack. Written report with the top risks, the quick wins, the things to negotiate, and the things to walk away from. We look at the stuff founders don't have time to read carefully — auth, secrets management, deploy pipelines, observability, contracts. Sample artifact A 15-25 page audit report with prioritized findings, a side-by-side vendor comparison where applicable, and a 30-60-90 day action plan for the team. 04 ### Embedded Delivery Team Senior engineers, designers, and AI specialists ready to execute — so the strategy doesn't stay on a slide. The same team that owns the strategy ships the work. Weekly sprints, working software each Friday, code review on every PR, and the same accountability standards we'd hold an in-house team to. Sample artifact Working software shipped weekly, sprint demo recordings, a public roadmap board you and your team can see, and quarterly retrospectives on the engineering function. ## Tech stack The tools we ship with.

A typical engagement, end to end. Concrete deliverables every milestone. 1. Week 1 ### Audit & alignment - Day one onboarding: codebase access, infrastructure walk, team intros, current roadmap and OKRs. - Codebase audit covering architecture, auth, secrets, deploys, observability, technical debt hot-spots. - Vendor audit of current agencies, SaaS contracts, and any active freelance engagements. - Stakeholder interviews — founders, engineering team, product, key customers if relevant. 2. Week 2 ### Written report & roadmap draft - Top-5 technical risks ranked by impact and effort, with proposed mitigations. - Quick-wins list — the 3-5 things we can ship in the first 30 days that move a real metric. - Initial 6-12 month roadmap draft tied to business milestones. - Hiring assessment: which roles to hire, in what order, and at what seniority. 3. Week 3 ### Hiring & roadmap finalization - Lock the roadmap with the founder / CEO / leadership team after one round of structured feedback. - Write the first hiring spec (typically a senior engineer, designer, or AI specialist) and design the interview rubric. - Identify and start screening the existing pipeline of agencies / freelancers / referrals. - Set the weekly leadership cadence — synchronous sync, Slack channels, escalation rules. 4. Week 4 onward ### Steady-state - Weekly leadership sync covering pipeline, risks, decisions, and shipping status. - Quarterly board-ready tech update with KPIs the leadership team agreed to track. - Continuous hiring support and final-round interviews on every open engineering role. - Embedded delivery team shipping working software each Friday under the agreed roadmap.

The honest version. Real trade-offs, not marketing slideware. Scenario When to use When to avoid - ### Full-time CTO ($25K-30K/mo all-in) When to use Hire full-time when you have steady-state engineering of 10+ people, a $5M+ ARR business, and a 3-5 year horizon where the CTO will own the function continuously. The premium for full-time judgment is worth it past that scale. When to avoid Below 10 engineers and pre-Series-B, full-time CTO is usually overkill — you're paying for capacity you can't use efficiently. Worse, the wrong full-time CTO hire is a 3-6 month recruiting timeline followed by a 6-12 month exit timeline if it doesn't work out. - ### Pure advisor / fractional advisor ($3K-15K/mo) When to use A pure fractional advisor is the right call when you already have a strong in-house engineering lead and just need senior judgment on specific calls — board-level architecture, fundraising tech-due-diligence, vendor negotiations, occasional hiring guidance. When to avoid When the team needs execution, not just opinions. Pure advisory engagements deliver slides, not shipped software, and the gap between "this is what you should do" and "this is what got built" turns into pure friction inside a fast-moving company. - ### Borah fractional CTO ($8.5K-15K/mo) [See Mabbly →](https://borahlabs.us/work/mabbly) When to use Hire us when you need senior judgment plus an accountable team to ship. Strategy, hiring screens, vendor calls, architecture — and the same team building features alongside the in-house team or owning execution end-to-end. Best fit for funded startups, SMBs with a fragile codebase, and interim coverage during transitions. When to avoid We're not the right call when you genuinely need 40+ hours a week of CTO time, or when the engagement is purely advisory and there's no execution layer involved (we can do that but it's a smaller share of our work and a less specialized fit). - ### Hire-first vs operate-first When to use Operate first if the team is shipping but lacks a roadmap, the codebase has known but unowned debt, or the founder is bottlenecked by technical decisions. We embed, ship the roadmap, and run hiring searches in parallel. When to avoid Hire first when the team is structurally too small to operate (one engineer, no senior leadership) and the budget exists to run a CTO search immediately. In that case, we run the search and stay involved as advisor only — execution waits. ## Real shipped work Production case studies, not pitch decks.

A fractional CTO is a senior technology leader who works with your company part-time on a monthly retainer - typically 20 to 60 hours per month. You get C-level judgment on architecture, hiring, and roadmap without paying a $250K+ salary or giving up equity. Engagements usually run 6 to 18 months. How is your fractional CTO different from others? Most fractional CTOs only advise. We bring a delivery team with us - so when we recommend a refactor, we can also build it. One retainer covers strategy, hiring support, and engineering execution from a senior team that knows your codebase. How much does a fractional CTO cost? Industry rates run from $3,000 to $25,000 per month. Our Product Partner plan starts at $8,500/mo and includes senior engineering execution alongside the leadership work. Embedded Team is $12,000/mo for a senior squad. Fractional CTO + Team is $15,000+/mo for a full embedded pod. Who is this for? Three buyer profiles: (1) funded startups between pre-seed and Series A who need senior technical judgment but can't yet pay a full-time CTO, (2) SMBs with a working product and a brittle codebase that needs an adult in the room, and (3) PE-backed companies in transition where the existing team needs interim leadership. What does the first 30 days look like? Week 1: codebase, infra, and team audit. Week 2: written report with the top 5 risks and quick wins. Week 3: hiring plan and roadmap draft. Week 4: aligned plan, kicked-off sprints, and a weekly cadence locked in. We move fast because we have to. Do you take equity instead of cash? No. Cash retainers only. We've seen too many founders give up 1-2% equity to advisors who never showed up. Cash keeps the relationship honest and easy to end if it isn't working. Can you replace our existing CTO during a transition? Yes. We frequently step in as interim CTO during executive transitions, post-acquisition integrations, or when a founder-CTO is stepping back from technical work. Typical engagements are 3-9 months with a clear handover plan from day one. What if we just need help hiring our first engineer? We do that too. Our 4-week Hiring Sprint produces job descriptions, sourcing channels, interview process, and a shortlist of vetted candidates - flat fee, no retainer required. ## Related services Often shipped alongside this engagement.

Knowing how to use it well is the skill. We've shipped dozens of Next.js applications - marketing sites, dashboards, and full SaaS platforms. Next.js development services build production web applications with the React framework Vercel maintains — using the App Router, React Server Components, streaming, edge runtime where it earns its keep, and the data-fetching primitives that make Next.js different from plain React. Borah Labs has shipped dozens of Next.js applications across marketing sites with perfect Lighthouse scores, customer-facing SaaS platforms, AI-driven products, agency partner sites, and the borahlabs.us site you're reading right now (Next.js 16, App Router, static export). A typical Next.js engagement runs 4-12 weeks, with builds from $25,000, and includes the parts most teams underspend on: Core Web Vitals as a release gate, structured metadata and OG image strategy, image and font optimization, route-level code splitting, middleware for auth and personalization, ISR or static generation strategy chosen per page, and a CI pipeline that fails the build when bundle size or LCP regress. We deploy to Vercel by default — the DX is unmatched — but we also ship to AWS, Cloudflare Workers, and self-hosted Docker when the situation calls for it.

If your situation looks like one of these three, you'll feel at home with us. B2B SaaS, fintech, healthtech, vertical SaaS, marketplaces ### Founder of a content-led business with a stale SEO problem Has a great product but the marketing site was built four years ago in a CRA SPA, ranks for nothing, and the engineering team can't find time to migrate it. Wants a senior team to land a fast, SEO-friendly Next.js rebuild in 6-10 weeks while preserving every URL and tracking pixel. Mid-stage SaaS, marketplaces, ecommerce platforms ### Engineering manager modernizing a Pages-Router codebase Inherited (or built) a Next.js Pages Router app over the last few years. Wants to migrate to the App Router, adopt server components incrementally, and clean up data-fetching patterns — without freezing feature work for two quarters. Vertical SaaS, dev tools, AI products, B2B platforms ### Product team launching a new SaaS platform Greenfield project. Knows Next.js is the right choice but wants a senior partner to set up the architecture, the CI pipeline, the auth pattern, the data layer, and the deployment story so the in-house team can iterate confidently from week one rather than relearning the framework on every PR. The Problem ## Sound familiar? - Your React app has poor SEO because it's fully client-rendered, Google's crawler sees an empty shell, and the marketing team has no path to ranking despite owning the domain for years. - Page load times are killing conversion. Lighthouse mobile scores are red, the Core Web Vitals dashboard in Search Console is full of warnings, and every release seems to make it slightly worse rather than better. - You want to move to Next.js but your team is on a Pages Router or CRA setup, hasn't worked with the App Router, and doesn't have the bandwidth to figure out server components, streaming, and the new caching model alongside shipping features. The Solution ## How we solve it - Server-side rendering and static generation tuned per route — fully static for content, ISR for data that updates daily, server-rendered for personalized pages, client-only where it actually belongs. No compromises on SEO and instant page loads. - We use server components, streaming with suspense, partial prerendering, edge middleware, and image / font optimization to consistently hit sub-second LCP on real mobile devices — and we set the budgets in CI so the team can't regress them by accident. - Deep Next.js experience from the App Router and parallel routes to middleware, route groups, server actions, and the modern caching model. We know the framework inside out (we ship our own marketing site on it) and we'll bring your team along during the engagement so you don't lose knowledge when we hand off. ## What you get Deliverables, with sample artifacts. Concrete outputs you can expect from this engagement — and a sample of what each one looks like. 01 ### Marketing & Content Sites Next.js marketing sites with perfect Lighthouse scores, fully static where possible, ISR for blog or pricing pages that update on a schedule, dynamic OG images per page, structured data, sitemap and robots configured correctly, and a headless CMS integration (Sanity, Contentful, Payload, Hygraph) for the content team to ship without engineering. The site you're reading is the canonical example. Sample artifact A deployed marketing site, a Lighthouse-budget guard in CI, OG image generation routes, and a Notion handoff doc for the content team explaining how to publish. 02 ### Web Applications Full-stack Next.js applications with auth (NextAuth, Clerk, Auth.js), database (Prisma + PostgreSQL or Drizzle), API routes or server actions, real-time features over Pusher or Ably, payment integration (Stripe), file uploads, and a UI built on Tailwind plus a Radix-based component system. Multi-tenant where the use case calls for it, single-tenant when simpler is better. Sample artifact A working web application deployed to Vercel (or your cloud of choice), a CI pipeline gating type-check, lint, tests, bundle size and LCP, and architecture documentation for whoever inherits it. 03 ### Migration from React SPA Incremental migration from Create React App, Vite, or Pages-Router Next.js to App-Router Next.js. We move routes one at a time behind a proxy or a Next.js rewrite, ship to staging continuously, and never freeze the rest of the team's feature work. Common reasons clients migrate: SEO, performance, server components, the modern caching story, or just exiting a no-longer-maintained framework. Sample artifact An incremental migration plan with a route-by-route timeline, a co-existence proxy or rewrite layer, and a parity test suite ensuring no UX regressions during the migration. 04 ### Performance Optimization Audit your existing Next.js application against Core Web Vitals, INP, and LCP on real mobile devices. Common wins: route-level code splitting, image optimization with next/image, font subsetting, removing client components that should be server, RSC payload trimming, parallel data fetching, and CDN cache headers. Every fix is benchmarked before and after with WebPageTest and Real User Monitoring data. Sample artifact A before/after performance report with WPT runs, a list of merged optimization PRs, a Lighthouse-budget CI guard preventing regression, and an RUM dashboard tracking field metrics post-launch. ## Tech stack The tools we ship with.

A typical engagement, end to end. Concrete deliverables every milestone. 1. Week 1 ### Audit & architecture - Audit the existing site (or design + spec for greenfield): rendering strategy per route, performance baseline, SEO status, accessibility, deployment story. - Decide rendering strategy per page — fully static, ISR, server-rendered, or client-only — and document the reasoning. - Set explicit performance budgets (LCP < 1.5s on real mobile, INP < 200ms, bundle < 200KB JS first load) and wire CI gates. - For migrations: route-by-route migration plan with a coexistence strategy that keeps the existing site live throughout. 2. Weeks 2-4 ### Foundations & first routes - Land core scaffolding: layout system, design tokens, component library, error boundaries, loading states. - Wire CI: build, type-check, lint, unit tests, Playwright E2E on critical paths, bundle-size guard, Lighthouse-budget guard. - Ship the first three to five routes end-to-end including metadata, OG images, and structured data. - Stand up staging on a preview URL with every PR getting its own preview deployment. 3. Weeks 5-8 ### Build the rest of the surface - Ship the remaining routes — application screens, dashboard, content surfaces — on the foundation set in weeks 2-4. - Server actions or API routes for any write-side functionality, with input validation (Zod) and structured error handling. - Auth integration, payments integration, third-party services as required by scope. - Continuous Lighthouse and WebPageTest checks; performance work as we go, not at the end. 4. Weeks 9-12 ### Cutover, polish, retainer - Final performance pass against real-device data — INP under 200ms, LCP under 1.5s on 4G mobile. - SEO cutover: 301s for changed URLs, sitemap, robots, structured data validation, Search Console submission. - Documentation handoff: architecture, deployment, content workflow, on-call runbook. - 30-day post-launch warranty plus optional retainer for ongoing feature work and Next.js version upgrades.

The honest version. Real trade-offs, not marketing slideware. Scenario When to use When to avoid - ### Next.js App Router vs Pages Router When to use App Router for every new project in 2026 — it's where the Next.js team is investing, server components solve real problems, and the data-fetching ergonomics are dramatically better. Migration paths from Pages are mature and incremental. When to avoid Don't pick Pages for new code. Don't migrate a stable, business-critical Pages app to App Router unless you have a real reason — the migration is real work and the operational benefit is gradual, not instant. - ### SSR vs ISR vs SSG When to use Static generation (SSG / output: 'export') for content that's the same for every visitor and changes on deploy — marketing sites, documentation, this page. ISR for content that changes daily but is the same for every visitor — pricing, blog. SSR for personalized content per request — dashboards, account pages. When to avoid SSR everywhere by default. SSR has a cost (server compute, slower TTFB) and is the right call only when the content actually changes per request. Most marketing teams over-SSR; most app teams over-static. - ### Server actions vs API routes vs tRPC When to use Server actions for form submissions and any UI-driven mutations within the same Next.js app — they're ergonomic and the React 19 patterns are excellent. API routes for public-facing JSON APIs. tRPC when you have a separate React or React Native client and want end-to-end type safety with minimal ceremony. When to avoid Don't put a tRPC layer in front of your own internal Next.js UI when server actions do the job. Don't ship server actions as a public API surface — they're an internal pattern. - ### Vercel vs self-hosted Next.js [See Koppa AI →](https://borahlabs.us/work/koppa-ai) When to use Vercel is the right default — built by the same team, zero ops, edge runtime, instant preview URLs, image optimization, ISR caching all just work. The DX advantage is real and the price is competitive up to substantial scale. When to avoid Self-host on AWS / Cloudflare / Docker only when you have a specific reason — data residency, an existing platform engineering team that owns the deployment story, predictable extreme volume where the math changes, or contracts that prohibit Vercel. Don't self-host out of habit; the operational cost is bigger than it looks. ## Real shipped work Production case studies, not pitch decks. Two engagements that mirror the kind of work you'd hand us.

Read the case study →](https://borahlabs.us/work/koppa-ai) ## FAQ Common questions Everything you need to know about our next.js development done right services. Why Next.js over plain React? Next.js gives you server-side rendering and static generation (so Google sees real content), file-based routing, image and font optimization, edge middleware, server actions, streaming, and a deployment story that's mostly invisible. For anything that touches the public internet — marketing surface, SEO target, marketing-led product — Next.js is the safer default. Plain React (with Vite) is the right choice only for fully authenticated internal tools where SEO doesn't matter. Do you use the App Router or Pages Router? App Router for every new project in 2026. It's where Vercel is investing, server components solve real problems, the data-fetching primitives are better, and the ecosystem has caught up. We migrate Pages Router projects to App Router incrementally when it's worth doing, but we don't force the migration on a stable codebase that doesn't need it. Can you migrate our existing React app to Next.js? Yes — we run a route-by-route incremental migration. The existing app stays live the entire time. We move routes behind a proxy or via Next.js rewrites, ship one at a time to staging, validate parity, and cut over once the new path is proven. No big-bang rewrites, no two-month freeze on feature work, no all-or-nothing risk. Most migrations finish in 8-14 weeks depending on the size of the surface. Where do you deploy Next.js apps? Vercel is our default — it's built by the same team behind Next.js and the DX advantage is enormous (preview URLs per PR, edge functions, image optimization, ISR caching, analytics, all just work). We also deploy to AWS (with the Open Next adapter or Lambda + CloudFront), Cloudflare Workers, and self-hosted Docker on a Hetzner / Fly / Railway box when the situation requires it. We help clients choose the deployment target during scoping. How do you handle SEO during a migration? URLs are sacred. We map every existing URL to its new equivalent, set 301 redirects for changes, preserve every meta tag and structured data block, regenerate the sitemap and submit it to Search Console, and run a side-by-side crawl of old vs new before cutover to catch anything missed. We've migrated marketing sites without losing rankings — it's mostly process discipline, not luck. Can you hit Lighthouse 100 / Core Web Vitals green? On marketing surfaces, yes — and we treat the Lighthouse budget as a release gate, not a launch checkbox. On heavily interactive applications (dashboards, editors, real-time UI), some Lighthouse metrics are harder to score perfectly because the workload is genuinely heavy — we focus on INP, LCP, and CLS for those, with explicit budgets. We share before/after WebPageTest runs on every performance engagement. Do you write tests for Next.js apps? Yes — Vitest for unit and integration tests, Testing Library for components, Playwright for end-to-end coverage of critical user paths, and Lighthouse / Web Vitals checks gating CI. Coverage targets scale with the criticality of the surface — payments and core flows get heavy coverage, rarely-used admin screens get less. We don't chase a coverage percentage; we chase confidence. How do you handle the Next.js caching model? Carefully. The Next.js fetch caching, route segment config, and revalidate semantics are powerful but easy to get wrong. We set explicit cache strategies per route, document them in code comments, and instrument cache hit rates so we know what's actually happening in production. When you're getting stale data or unexpected SSR, the answer is usually in the caching layer — we make it visible rather than mysterious. How long does a Next.js project take? A focused marketing-site rebuild ships in 4-6 weeks. A full SaaS application runs 8-14 weeks depending on scope. An incremental migration from CRA or Pages Router takes 8-12 weeks while keeping the existing app live. We commit to dates during scoping, demo weekly, and ship to the schedule we agreed in week one. ## Related services Often shipped alongside this engagement.

We've been building with it since 2018 - from simple dashboards to complex multi-tenant platforms. React development services build the production frontend of web applications using React, TypeScript, and the surrounding ecosystem (React Query, Zustand or Redux Toolkit, React Hook Form, Tailwind CSS, Storybook, Vitest, Playwright, Vite). Borah Labs has been shipping React in production since 2018, across dashboards, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, real-time interfaces, data-heavy admin panels, and customer-facing product UIs. A typical React engagement runs 4-12 weeks, with builds from $25,000, and includes the engineering disciplines that separate a React app you can maintain from one you fear: a clean component architecture, properly factored state, deliberate performance budgets, accessibility passes, a real test suite, and a design system you can build on for years. We work with React 19, React Server Components where they earn their keep, and the modern data-fetching primitives — and we'll tell you honestly when a project should be a Next.js app instead, when it should be a Remix app, or when a thinner Vite SPA is the right call.

If your situation looks like one of these three, you'll feel at home with us. B2B SaaS, vertical SaaS, internal tooling, fintech dashboards ### Engineering manager at a B2B SaaS with a maturing frontend Inherited a React codebase that's grown organically for 2-4 years. Wants a senior partner to land the design system, factor the state management, set the performance budget, and bring the test suite up to a level the team can rely on. Often a 6-12 week engagement that hands off to a strengthened in-house team. Productivity tools, data analytics, collaborative software, dev tools ### Product team building a complex interactive feature Has a feature on the roadmap — real-time collaboration, drag-and-drop builder, 10K-row data grid, charting suite — that the existing team can't ship in the time available. Wants a senior React team to own that feature end-to-end: spec, build, ship, document, hand off. Early-stage startups in any vertical with a serious frontend ### Founder of a Series-A startup hiring before a hire Knows the next senior React hire is 3-6 months away but the product can't wait. Wants a team that builds in the codebase, leaves it cleaner than they found it, and acts as a senior frontend voice in architecture decisions until the in-house hire is ready to take over. The Problem ## Sound familiar? - Your frontend codebase is a mess of prop drilling, global state, and components nobody on the team wants to touch — which means feature velocity has dropped from "weekly releases" to "please don't break anything." - Your team can write React but the app is slow on real devices, hard to test, hard to onboard new engineers into, and the testing strategy is "we hope." The backlog of perf and refactor work keeps growing. - You need a complex interactive UI — collaborative editor, scheduling tool, data dashboard with 10K rows, real-time chart — and your backend-led team doesn't have the frontend depth to land it without a senior partner. The Solution ## How we solve it - Clean component architecture with proper state separation (server state via React Query, UI state via Zustand or Context where appropriate), TypeScript end to end, and testing built in from the first week — not bolted on at the end. - We ship reusable, documented component libraries (Storybook + design tokens + a Tailwind config your designers can read) that your team continues to extend after handoff. The system outlives the project. - Performance-first development with explicit budgets: bundle size limits, lighthouse targets in CI, route-level code splitting, intentional memoization, virtualized lists, and image strategy. Real metrics on real devices, not localhost. ## What you get Deliverables, with sample artifacts. Concrete outputs you can expect from this engagement — and a sample of what each one looks like. 01 ### Interactive Web Applications Customer-facing or internal React applications with the level of interactivity that separates products from websites — real-time updates over WebSockets, drag-and-drop builders, data visualization with D3 or Recharts, optimistic UI, undo/redo, complex forms, file uploads, infinite scroll, virtualized lists. Built mobile-first, tested across browsers, accessible from day one. Sample artifact A deployed React application with a Storybook of every component, a Playwright test suite running in CI, and Lighthouse-budget enforcement on every PR. 02 ### Component Libraries Reusable, documented design systems built on Tailwind CSS, Radix primitives, and headless UI patterns. Every component has variants, prop-driven sizing, dark-mode support, accessibility baked in, and a Storybook entry with usage examples. Designers consume the same tokens, engineers consume the same components, and your visual consistency stops drifting between teams. Sample artifact A versioned npm package (or workspace package), Storybook deployed at a subdomain you own, design tokens shared with your Figma library, and onboarding documentation for new engineers. 03 ### Dashboards & Admin Panels Data-rich internal tools — admin panels, analytics dashboards, support consoles, ops dashboards — with charts, sortable filterable tables (10K+ rows handled smoothly), role-based access control wired into your auth, audit logs, and a UI that's actually pleasant to use eight hours a day. Sample artifact A deployed dashboard, RBAC matrix documentation, performance benchmarks against your real data volume, and a one-page launch readiness checklist signed off by stakeholders. 04 ### Frontend Architecture When the React app is the bottleneck, we audit and rewrite the foundations — state management strategy, routing, data layer, error handling, suspense and streaming, testing approach, build pipeline, deployment. We document the resulting architecture so future engineers can reason about it without time travel. Sample artifact An architecture decision record (ADR) document, refactored core scaffolding shipped behind feature flags, a CI pipeline with build / test / lint / size budgets, and a 30-minute architecture walkthrough recorded for future hires. ## Tech stack The tools we ship with.

Week 1 ### Audit & architecture - Walk the codebase, the design system (or lack of one), the state management, and the testing posture. - Identify the three highest-leverage architectural changes — usually state management, data fetching, or routing — and write the ADRs. - Set explicit performance budgets (bundle size, LCP, INP) and accessibility targets that will gate every PR. - Build a plan with concrete weekly deliverables, demo-able from week two. 2. Weeks 2-4 ### Build core scaffolding - Land the foundational architecture — design system, state layer, data layer, routing, error boundaries, suspense. - Set up Storybook with the first 10-15 components, theming, and a dark-mode toggle if relevant. - Wire up CI: build, type-check, lint, unit tests, component tests, bundle-size guard, accessibility lint. - Weekly working demos; each demo ships behind a feature flag to staging. 3. Weeks 5-8 ### Ship features - Build the actual feature surface — interactive screens, dashboards, real-time updates, complex forms — on the foundation we shipped in weeks 2-4. - Performance work as we go: virtualized lists, route-level code splitting, image strategy, memoization where the profiler says it matters (not before). - E2E coverage with Playwright on the critical user paths; coverage targets locked at the architecture step. - Continuous PR review with the in-house team so knowledge transfer happens during the build, not after. 4. Weeks 9-12 ### Polish, hand off, retainer option - Accessibility pass with axe + manual screen-reader testing on the critical flows. - Final performance pass against real-device data; budget enforcement on the production bundle. - Documentation handoff: ADRs, component library docs, runbook, recorded architecture walkthrough. - 30-day post-launch warranty; optional retainer for ongoing component-library and feature work.

The honest version. Real trade-offs, not marketing slideware. Scenario When to use When to avoid - ### React vs Next.js [See Workwize →](https://borahlabs.us/work/workwize) When to use Pure React (with Vite) for SPAs that are clearly internal tools — admin dashboards, embedded apps, kiosks — where SEO is irrelevant, where every user is authenticated, and where the simpler mental model and faster local dev are worth the trade. When to avoid Anything that needs SEO, anything that benefits from server rendering, anything with a marketing surface, or anything you might want to grow into a full product. Next.js is the safer default — see our Next.js development service for that workload. - ### Zustand vs Redux Toolkit When to use Zustand for most React apps in 2026. Tiny API, no providers, easy to test, easy to onboard new engineers into, and the patterns scale to large apps without ceremony. Pair with React Query for server state and you almost never need anything more. When to avoid Redux Toolkit only when you genuinely need its DevTools time-travel debugging, deeply normalized client state, or when the team is already deep into Redux patterns and the cost of switching outweighs the benefit. Don't pick Redux out of habit on a new project. - ### React Query vs SWR vs RTK Query When to use React Query (TanStack Query) is our default — best ergonomics, broadest community, deep mutation/optimistic UI support, and excellent TypeScript story. SWR is fine for simpler apps but has fewer escape hatches. When to avoid RTK Query only makes sense when you're already on Redux Toolkit and the integration is the tiebreaker. As a standalone choice for a new project, React Query wins on developer experience. - ### CSS-in-JS vs Tailwind vs CSS Modules When to use Tailwind CSS is our default in 2026. Zero runtime cost, design-token-friendly, fast iteration, and the file you read tells you exactly how the component looks. Pair with a tokens-driven Tailwind config and the @apply escape hatch where complex patterns repeat. When to avoid CSS-in-JS (Emotion, styled-components) carries real bundle and runtime cost in modern React, and the team usually ends up reinventing what Tailwind does. CSS Modules are fine for legacy migrations but rarely the right fresh choice. ## Real shipped work Production case studies, not pitch decks.

Read the case study →](https://borahlabs.us/work/workwize) ## FAQ Common questions Everything you need to know about our react development that ships services. React or Next.js? Use Next.js when you need SEO, server rendering, edge or API routes, image optimization, or anything that touches a marketing surface — basically the safer default for any product that lives on the public internet. Use plain React (with Vite) when the app is purely authenticated, internal, or embedded — no SEO concern, no server rendering needed, and the simpler dev story is worth it. We help teams choose during scoping based on the actual constraints, not the hype cycle. Can you refactor our existing React codebase? Yes — refactor and modernization engagements are a big share of our React work. Common patterns: migrating from class components to hooks, untangling Redux into Zustand + React Query, introducing TypeScript across an existing JS codebase, replacing a homegrown component library with a tokens-driven Tailwind + Radix system, and bringing test coverage up to a level the team trusts. We work incrementally so the product keeps shipping during the refactor. Do you use class components or hooks? Hooks exclusively. Functional components with hooks, custom hooks for shared logic, suspense boundaries where streaming earns its keep, and React Server Components where the data-loading shape benefits. We don't ship class components in new code, and we'll usually migrate them out during a refactor unless there's a specific lifecycle reason to keep one (extremely rare in 2026). What about testing? Unit and integration tests with Vitest, component tests with Testing Library, end-to-end tests with Playwright. Coverage targets are set based on the criticality of each surface — payment flows and core user paths get heavy coverage, marketing surfaces and rarely-used admin screens get less. We don't chase a coverage percentage; we chase confidence that the things that matter are tested. Will you set up the design system from scratch? Yes — this is one of the highest-leverage things we do. We ship a tokens-driven Tailwind config, a Radix-based component library, Storybook with usage examples, and a Figma-to-code pipeline so designers and engineers stay in sync. The result is a system the in-house team continues to extend after we hand off, not a snapshot they're afraid to touch. How do you handle accessibility? Accessibility is a default, not a phase. Components built on Radix primitives are accessible by construction, every PR runs axe-core lint, color-contrast tokens are defined in the design system, and we include a manual screen-reader pass on critical flows before launch. We aim for WCAG 2.2 AA across customer-facing surfaces and target AAA on a case-by-case basis where regulation requires it. Can you work with our existing backend? Yes — most React engagements connect to a backend the client already owns. We work over REST, GraphQL, tRPC, gRPC-web, or WebSockets, and we'll tell you honestly when the API shape is causing pain on the frontend so the backend team can decide what to do about it. We don't insist on rewriting your backend; we work with what's there. How long does a React project take? A focused feature build runs 4-6 weeks. A full frontend rewrite or design system land takes 8-12 weeks. A long-running embedded engagement on a complex product is sized weekly via a retainer. We commit to dates during scoping, demo weekly, and ship to the schedule we agreed in week one. What stacks pair well with React in your engagements? Most commonly: Next.js for full-stack, Laravel or Node.js (Hono / NestJS) for the API, PostgreSQL for the database, Vercel or AWS for deployment, and Tailwind plus Radix for UI. We also work with team-specific stacks — Django, Rails, FastAPI — when that's what the backend already is. The React side is stack-agnostic; we work with what's already there. ## Related services Often shipped alongside this engagement.

We build behind the scenes - websites, platforms, AI features - so you can take on more work without more hires. White-label web development is the engineering execution your agency sells to its clients, delivered under your brand by an outside team you trust. The agencies Borah Labs partners with bring the strategy, design, account management, and the client relationship; we bring senior engineers, project leadership, code review, QA, and accountability. We work in your Slack, use your project management tool, write status updates in your voice, and never appear on a client call without your invitation. A typical white-label engagement starts as a fixed-scope build (from $25,000) or a monthly partnership (from $8,500/month) and covers websites in WordPress / Webflow / Shopify, custom platforms in Laravel and Next.js, AI feature builds, and ongoing client portfolio maintenance. We've been a white-label partner for US and European agencies for four-plus years (notably Mabbly, a Chicago marketing agency we ship under) and our retention rate among agency partners is 90%+. The pitch we make to agency owners is simple: stop turning away work, stop building a recruiting pipeline, stop discovering on a Friday that your senior dev quit. Use us instead.

If your situation looks like one of these three, you'll feel at home with us. Branding & design agencies, marketing agencies, web design studios, content agencies ### Founder of a 5-30 person digital, design, or marketing agency Sells web, brand, and marketing work but has no in-house senior dev capacity beyond a junior or two — or none at all. Wants to expand the offering to platforms, custom builds, and AI features without hiring an entire engineering function. Often discovers us when a strategic client asks for something the existing team can't deliver. Mid-market marketing agencies, brand consultancies, digital transformation shops ### Operations or delivery lead at a 30-100 person agency Has in-house engineering but is staffed for steady-state and not for surge. Needs an external partner who can take a 6-week build off the team's plate, an entire client portfolio of WordPress maintenance, or the AI-feature buildouts the in-house team isn't trained for. Cares deeply about the partner not breaking client relationships. Solo designers, fractional CMOs, brand consultants ### Independent designer or strategist with a single big client Won a project bigger than their current setup can deliver alone. Needs the engineering arm of an agency without becoming an agency. Wants project leadership, accountability, and someone they can hand the build to without micromanaging while they own the strategy and the relationship. The Problem ## Sound familiar? - You're turning down profitable projects every month because your in-house dev team is maxed out, and the gap between sales pipeline and delivery capacity keeps widening. - Freelancers ghost mid-project, offshore teams need more management than they save, and the quality bar swings wildly between hires — meanwhile your clients expect senior-level work every time. - You need consistent senior-level development without paying $180-$240K + benefits for a US senior, and without the recruiting timeline of three to six months per hire. The Solution ## How we solve it - A dedicated white-label team that works under your brand — same Slack, same project tool, same status report cadence, invisible to your clients. Senior engineering with an agency-aware project manager. - Consistent communication and quality. Four-plus years partnering with US and European agencies, code review on every PR, QA before delivery, and SLAs you can confidently quote to your own clients. - Flexible capacity that scales with your pipeline. Spin up an extra team for a big launch, scale down between projects, no long-term commitment, no payroll exposure when the pipeline dips. ## What you get Deliverables, with sample artifacts. Concrete outputs you can expect from this engagement — and a sample of what each one looks like. 01 ### Website Development Custom websites built to your design specs in WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, headless CMS, or fully custom Next.js / Laravel — whatever your client needs and whatever your agency standardizes on. Includes responsive build, performance optimization to Core Web Vitals targets, accessibility passes, CMS training for the client, and a launch checklist your account team uses. Sample artifact A staging environment shared via your subdomain, a launch checklist with sign-offs, and a 30-day post-launch warranty for bug fixes — all under your agency name. 02 ### Platform Development Full-stack platforms, client portals, custom dashboards, internal tools, and web applications that go beyond what most agencies can deliver in-house. Auth, role-based access, payment integration, third-party API integration, admin panels — the kind of build that wins big retainer clients but breaks small dev teams. Sample artifact A working platform deployed to your client's infrastructure, architecture documentation, a runbook for common operations, and a knowledge-transfer session with whoever will own it post-launch. 03 ### AI Feature Development Add chatbots, content generation, intelligent search, document summarization, lead qualification bots, or workflow automation to your client projects without building an AI practice in-house. We design, build, ship, and instrument the AI feature so your agency can offer it as a service line — and price it accordingly. Sample artifact A working AI feature shipped into your client's stack, an evaluation set proving accuracy, a cost dashboard, and a pricing memo your agency can use to package similar work for future clients. 04 ### Ongoing Development Support Retainer-based development support across your entire client portfolio. Bug fixes, feature additions, security patching, monthly performance and SEO health passes, and incident response when something breaks at 9pm. One contract, one invoice, dozens of client sites covered. Sample artifact A monthly portfolio report your account team can forward to clients, a shared task queue your PMs prioritize, and an uptime/issues dashboard you have visibility into without paging us. ## Tech stack The tools we ship with.

A typical engagement, end to end. Concrete deliverables every milestone. 1. Week 1 ### Onboarding & playbook - Two-hour kickoff with your agency leadership: how you communicate with clients, what your delivery standards look like, what your brand voice sounds like in writing. - We join your Slack, your Linear / Asana / Monday, your Notion or Confluence, and your Google Drive. We adopt your tooling, not the other way around. - Sign mutual NDA and a master services agreement so individual projects can move on a single page of paperwork. - Document the agency playbook — naming conventions, branch strategy, status report cadence, escalation rules — and lock the SLAs. 2. Weeks 2-3 ### First project pilot - Take a small first project — a WordPress build, a Shopify customization, a one-feature add — and ship it end-to-end under your brand. - PR-level code review and QA before anything reaches the client. Status reports to your PM in your voice on your cadence. - Calibration sessions with your team: are we matching your house style, your communication tempo, your level of polish? - Lock the working agreement: ticket flow, weekly demo cadence, who attends client calls (usually nobody from us). 3. Weeks 4-6 ### Scale to portfolio - Roll the working agreement out to additional projects on your pipeline — typically two to four concurrent engagements after the pilot. - Standing weekly leadership sync between our engineering lead and your delivery lead: pipeline forecast, capacity planning, risks. - Migrate any legacy / urgent maintenance work into the shared retainer queue. - Quarterly reviews of partnership health, with a review of pricing if the volume justifies a different commercial structure. 4. Ongoing ### Steady-state partnership - Monthly capacity forecasting so you can quote confidently in sales calls without dialing us first. - Senior engineer continuity — your account doesn't get bounced between people quarter-to-quarter. - Standing improvement loop on the playbook: what's working, what's friction, what we should change next quarter. - Direct access to our leadership for any client-facing escalation, with a four-hour response SLA.

The honest version. Real trade-offs, not marketing slideware. Scenario When to use When to avoid - ### WordPress vs custom Next.js for client websites When to use WordPress (or Webflow) when the client team needs to edit content daily, when SEO is the primary outcome, when budget is sensible, and when the templated patterns of a CMS-backed site are enough. Most marketing-led websites still belong here. When to avoid Custom Next.js when you need a level of design freedom, performance, or interactivity that a CMS can't deliver, or when the site is really an application disguised as marketing. Don't pick custom for a 6-page brochure site — you'll regret it for years of maintenance. - ### Shopify vs custom commerce [See RLC Solutions →](https://borahlabs.us/work/rlc) When to use Shopify (with a custom theme or Hydrogen storefront) for almost every DTC ecommerce build. The platform handles payments, inventory, shipping, and tax in ways nobody should reimplement, and the agency margin per build is healthier. When to avoid Custom commerce only when the business model is genuinely outside Shopify's box — multi-vendor marketplaces, B2B with complex pricing rules, hardware-tied products with strange configurators. Even then, prefer Shopify Plus with extensions before going fully custom. - ### Hire a senior in-house vs white-label When to use Hire in-house when you have steady-state demand for one stack, when culture and continuity matter more than flexibility, and when the work pipeline justifies $200K+ in fully-loaded annual cost reliably for the next two years. When to avoid White-label is the right call when demand is spiky, when you need multi-stack coverage (one project is WordPress, the next is Laravel, the third is React Native), or when you want to test an engineering practice without committing to a permanent hire. Most agencies under 25 people are firmly in this bucket. - ### Agency-of-record vs project-by-project [See Mabbly →](https://borahlabs.us/work/mabbly) When to use Lock us in as your agency-of-record on a monthly retainer when you've done two or three pilots and want predictable capacity, faster turnaround, lower per-project paperwork, and better commercial terms. Most of our long-running agency partnerships sit here. When to avoid Project-by-project is fine to start with — and often the right way to validate the partnership — but the friction adds up after three or four engagements. Move to a retainer once you trust the team. ## Real shipped work Production case studies, not pitch decks. Two engagements that mirror the kind of work you'd hand us. [![Mabbly case study — Marketing Agency](https://borahlabs.us/images/projects/mabbly.jpg)Under 2 months Time to Product Marketing Agency ### Mabbly How we built an AI agent platform that automated case study creation for a Chicago marketing agency - from concept to working product in under two months. Read the case study →](https://borahlabs.us/work/mabbly) ## FAQ Common questions Everything you need to know about our white-label development for agencies services. Will my clients know you exist? No. We work entirely under your brand, in your tooling, with email signatures from your domain when needed. Your clients see your team. We never join a client call without your explicit invitation, never reach out to your clients directly, and our agency partnerships are confidential. The only people who know we exist are the people on your side of the table you decide to tell. How do you handle communication? We join your Slack workspace, use your project management tool (Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Monday — whatever you've standardized on), and follow your reporting cadence. We adapt to your processes, not the other way around. Status reports go in your voice and your format. If you have a house style for client comms, we learn it and stay inside it. What if a project has a tight deadline? We can spin up additional senior resources within 48 hours for partners on a retainer, and within five business days for new projects. Our team is structured around flexible capacity — we maintain bench engineers specifically so partners can promise tight timelines and have us deliver. Surge work is built into the retainer model and doesn't require a new contract. Do you offer agency pricing? Yes. We have volume-based pricing for agencies with recurring monthly work, and project-based pricing for one-off engagements. The standard structure is a monthly partnership ($8,500 / $12,000 / $15,000+) covering an agreed hours allocation across your portfolio, with overage billed at a transparent senior or junior rate. Contact us for a custom agency rate based on expected monthly volume. Can you handle multiple client projects at once? Yes. We currently manage 4-12 concurrent client projects across multiple agency partners at any given time, with dedicated leads per project to make sure nothing slips. Capacity planning is part of our monthly leadership sync with you so we know what's coming six to eight weeks ahead and you know exactly what we can absorb. What if a project goes off the rails? Our retainer agreements include a defined escalation path — engineering lead, delivery lead, leadership — with four-hour response SLAs on anything tagged urgent. If a project is genuinely going wrong, we want to know early so we can fix it before your client does. We've never lost an agency partner over a project blow-up because we surface the problem proactively, not when it's a fire. Do you sign white-label NDAs and IP assignment? Yes — every agency partnership starts with a mutual NDA and an IP-assignment master services agreement. All work product is owned by your agency (or your client, depending on your contract structure), no portfolio rights, no public attribution unless you specifically authorize it. Our SOC-2 security posture and DPA are available on request for clients in regulated industries. What stacks do you cover? Our depth is in Laravel, Next.js, React, TypeScript, WordPress, Shopify (Liquid + Hydrogen), and AI / LLM work (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, RAG). We have lighter coverage on Vue, Nuxt, Webflow, and Python / Django when projects call for it. If a partner consistently asks for a stack outside our core, we either upskill (with the partner's awareness) or we recommend a different team for that specific project. How is this different from hiring offshore developers? Three differences agencies notice immediately. First, project leadership: every engagement gets a senior engineer plus an agency-aware project manager — you don't manage individual contributors, you manage one team. Second, communication standard: we write status reports the way your clients expect, in English, in your tone. Third, accountability: when something breaks, we own it and fix it on our time, not yours. The hourly rate is higher than offshore but the total cost — including the management time you save — is usually lower. ## Related services Often shipped alongside this engagement.

Custom Software Development Saas Development Laravel Development ## The Challenge Koppa AI's platform was built in unstructured PHP without a framework or defined architecture. No foreign keys in the database, duplicated data everywhere, unoptimized queries, and frequent bugs. Every change introduced new problems. Scaling or adding functionality was technically impossible without a complete reconstruction. ## What We Built We rebuilt the entire platform from zero. Redesigned the database with proper relational modeling - foreign keys, indices, normalization, no duplications. Rebuilt the backend with Laravel, created an admin panel with Filament, and built interactive frontend components with Livewire. Then we shipped new features that were previously impossible to implement on the old codebase. ### Tech Stack Laravel Filament Livewire PostgreSQL AWS 6 months Project Duration Full rebuild from zero Platform Redesigned from scratch Database Eliminated Legacy Bugs ## The Outcome Koppa AI went from a fragile, bug-ridden system to a stable, professional platform. The properly modeled database eliminated data inconsistencies. The maintainable codebase means new features ship faster and with confidence. Multiple capabilities that were technically blocked on the old system are now live and serving clients. > “Working with Raul has been an absolute pleasure.

Ai Agent Development Ai Integration Laravel Development White Label Development ## The Challenge Mabbly's team spent hours on every case study - gathering information, writing, formatting, and reviewing. The process depended on who did it, producing inconsistent results in tone, structure, and detail. The team was spending time on repetitive production work instead of strategic client work. It was a process problem, not a talent problem. ## What We Built We mapped the entire case study creation workflow to find where time was lost. Then we designed specialized AI agents - each focused on a specific stage of the process, with defined roles and constraints. Not generic chatbots. We built the interface with Laravel and Filament, giving the team a clean dashboard to manage the full workflow. Weekly iterations with Mabbly kept the product sharp and focused on what actually mattered. ### Tech Stack Laravel Filament OpenAI PostgreSQL AWS Under 2 months Time to Product Multi-agent system AI Agents Built Hours to minutes Process Daily use from day one Adoption ## The Outcome From concept to a validated, functional product in under two months. Mabbly adopted the platform immediately, iterated on it internally, and launched it as a daily-use tool across their team. Case studies that used to take hours now take a fraction of the time. The platform standardized output quality while freeing the team to focus on strategy. > “Raul and his team brought passion, speed and most importantly a deep understanding of our objective.

Saas Development Dedicated Development Team Custom Software Development Laravel Development ## The Challenge RLC Solutions ran on a legacy .NET and Angular platform that was accumulating errors and couldn't scale. Every new gift card provider required custom development, making feature additions slow and fragile. Only a basic B2B product existed with no way for RLC's team to onboard new clients without developer intervention. Missed business opportunities and customer-facing failures were mounting. ## What We Built We integrated as RLC's complete technical team in a continuous partnership. First, we stabilized the legacy system to keep the business running. Then we designed a new Laravel core with independent connectors that abstract the complexity of different gift card providers. We built a multi-tenant SaaS B2B platform, extended it to support B2C direct sales, created a public API for programmatic purchases, and delivered a self-administration panel where RLC can spin up new tenants in minutes - no developers needed. ### Tech Stack Laravel Livewire PostgreSQL Redis AWS 4+ years Partnership Duration 3 (B2B, B2C, API) Distribution Channels Millions of euros Transactions Processed Dozens Provider Integrations ## The Outcome RLC went from a single fragile B2B product to a complete ecosystem: SaaS B2B, B2C platform, and public API. The platform now serves major global brands in gift card programs, with dozens of providers integrated through the scalable connector system. Millions of euros processed in transactions. New tenants are created in minutes from the self-admin panel.

Dedicated Development Team Custom Software Development Api Integration ## The Challenge Workwize helps IT teams buy, deploy, manage, and recover devices across 100+ countries. Thousands of products from dozens of suppliers - each with separate catalogs, pricing, and availability data, all managed manually. Stock information was constantly outdated. One in four orders was delivered on time. Customers were frustrated, operations was overwhelmed, and scaling was impossible. ## What We Built A Borah developer joined Workwize's product team directly - shared context, shared tools, same objectives. We designed and built a stock and price synchronization engine that connects to multiple suppliers through APIs, feeds, and vendor-specific data formats. The engine syncs stock and pricing automatically.
