[JamerzLab](https://jamerzlab.com/) / Services # Scoping, design, build, *and handover.* For founders, teams, and organisations with a real problem to solve. Scoping, design, build, and handover from one studio, and we stay accountable after it ships. 01 / SERVICES ## Five disciplines, *not five packages.* Each one is a discipline rather than something sold on its own. Most projects draw on two or three of them together, and the scoping sprint is where that gets worked out. 01 ### AI engineering and integration Most AI projects fail because the use case was chosen before the problem was understood. We start by deciding whether AI is the right tool at all, then build the integration properly: agents that do real work rather than just answering questions, skills and plugins for whichever assistant you already use, and evaluation that tells you whether any of it is actually helping. - Use-case discovery, with an honest go or no-go - Custom agents that take actions, not just chat - Skills and plugins for the assistant of your choice - Evaluation harnesses instead of trusting a demo - Reviews of AI you have already built - Cost, latency, and rate-limit control 02 ### Product and web applications Dashboards, portals, booking and scheduling, admin tooling, and the unglamorous CRUD that a real operation runs on. Built to be handed over and maintained by your team. - Discovery and technical scoping - Interface and design systems - Full-stack build with a typed API contract - Admin tooling, roles, and audit trails - Handover documentation and knowledge transfer 03 ### Mobile applications Android and iOS from a single shared codebase, so a fix ships to both stores at once instead of twice. Store submission, release management, and post-release iteration included. - One cross-platform codebase for both stores - Offline behaviour and background sync - Push notifications and deep links - Store submission and staged rollout - Crash reporting and release monitoring 04 ### APIs and backends Service layers that hold your rules rather than scattering them across route handlers. Versioned, tested, observable, and safe to extend while other people are building on it. - REST or typed RPC APIs - Authentication, authorisation, and rate limiting - Schema design and zero-downtime migrations - Payments and third-party integrations - Audit logging and data-retention controls 05 ### Privacy, security, and review Work where personal data and identity documents are involved. Threat modelling, data minimisation, and privacy-by-default architecture, reviewed before launch rather than after. - Data protection impact assessment - Identity document handling and encryption - Consent, retention, and deletion workflows - Security review and dependency auditing - Compliance-aware audit trails 02 / HOW WE ENGAGE ## Four ways to *work together.* Most projects start with a scoping sprint because it is the cheapest way to find out whether we are the right studio for the work. Not all of them continue, and we would rather that be obvious early. When a build finishes you can take the code and run it yourselves, or keep us on to maintain it. Either is a normal ending. ### Scoping sprint You know the problem but not the shape of the solution. Typical span: 1 to 2 weeks - Interviews and a written problem statement - Technical options with honest trade-offs - A build plan, a rough estimate, and a fixed price - A prototype of the riskiest part [Start with a scoping sprint ↗](https://jamerzlab.com/contact) ### Build engagement You need a working product and a partner accountable for it. Typical span: 6 to 12 weeks - Design and engineering in one weekly loop - A staging build you can open every week - A shared backlog you can reorder at any time - Release, store submission, and 30 days of warranty after go-live [Discuss a build engagement ↗](https://jamerzlab.com/contact) ### Embedded partnership You have a team and need senior capacity alongside them. Typical span: Ongoing, monthly - A named engineer or designer in your standups - Architecture review and code review - Hiring support and technical interviews - Roadmap work your team should not own [Talk about ongoing work ↗](https://jamerzlab.com/contact) ### Support and maintenance You want the product looked after, without hiring in-house. Typical span: Monthly, three-month minimum - Monitoring and triage against a stated response time - Dependency, store, and security updates - A short written summary of what changed each month - Feature and improvement work at an agreed day rate - Thirty days' notice to end, and the code is yours throughout [Discuss ongoing support ↗](https://jamerzlab.com/contact) Spans are indicative for a studio this size. A fixed price comes out of the scoping sprint, not off this page. 03 / PROCESS Four stages, written down and agreed before any code is written. ## How a project *runs.* - 01 ### Understand We interview the people who will use the product, not only the people funding it. The brief usually changes here, before anything is built. - 02 ### Decide A written plan naming the trade-offs, ranking the risks, and fixing the price. You approve it before code is written, and the price does not move afterwards. - 03 ### Build in the open A staging build you can open any day, a shared backlog you can reorder, and a short written update each week. - 04 ### Hand over Documentation, a walkthrough with your team, and a 30-day warranty. You own the repository and infrastructure from the first commit. 01 ### You own everything The repository, the infrastructure accounts, and the documentation are yours from the first commit. There is no licence to negotiate back later, and staying on to support the product never becomes a condition of keeping it. 02 ### You see it every week A staging build you can open any day of the week. You are never asked to approve progress from a slide deck. 03 ### We say when to stop If the project does not need a studio, or a cheaper approach is the right one, we say so in writing before you commit to anything. 04 / TOOLING ## Wide range, *chosen per project.* We are not a single-stack shop, and we would rather fit your team than ask it to learn ours. The list below is deliberately broader than anything we would use on one project, so you can judge whether we can work in what you already have. Every vendor here is an option rather than a requirement. Object storage is the capability, and any S3-compatible service will do, so we will not push a particular provider on you. We favour widely-hireable technology, keep type-safety continuous from the database to the interface, and would rather start from your existing infrastructure than replace it to suit our habits. The tools and versions we actually chose are in the repository from day one. Languages - TypeScript - Python - SQL - Kotlin - Swift - Dart - Go Web and front ends - React - Next.js - Vue - Nuxt - Svelte - Astro - Tailwind - HTML and CSS Mobile - React Native - Expo - Flutter - Native iOS - Native Android APIs and services - Node.js - FastAPI - Django - REST - GraphQL - gRPC - WebSockets - Job queues Data - PostgreSQL - MySQL - SQLite - MongoDB - Redis - Schema migrations - Full-text search Infrastructure and delivery - Docker - Kubernetes - Terraform - GitHub Actions - GitLab CI - AWS - Google Cloud - Azure - Cloudflare - Vercel - Fly.io - S3-compatible object storage Identity, payments, and messaging - OAuth and OIDC - Sessions and role-based access - Rate limiting - Razorpay - Stripe - Webhooks - WhatsApp Business API - Transactional email - Push notifications AI integration - Agent design and orchestration - Skills, plugins, and MCP servers - Retrieval pipelines - Vector search - Evaluation harnesses - Guardrails and fallbacks - Cost and latency control - Tool and function calling 05 / FAQ ## Questions *we get asked.* What does a project usually cost? + It depends on scope, and we would rather not guess before we understand the problem. A scoping sprint ends with a fixed price and a build plan, so you get a real number rather than a range that moves later. How do you choose the tools? + We pick well-supported, widely-hireable technology and keep the type-safety continuous from the database to the interface, so a change cannot quietly break one client while another is fine. On mobile we build one codebase for both stores, because a fix you have to write twice is a fix that arrives at one store late. We would rather choose something boring that your team can maintain than something clever that only we can. Can you scale the team if we need more people? + Yes. We are founder-run by default, which means the person you talk to is the person doing the work. When a project genuinely needs more hands we hire and bring people in already familiar with your codebase, rather than rotating strangers through it. We tell you when we are adding someone and what they are there for. Do you work with clients in other countries? + Yes. We are based in India and we ship globally, across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. Working across time zones is normal for us: data protection follows where your users are, and calls are booked in your business hours. What currency do you work in? + We quote and invoice in US dollars, and we can contract as a US, UK, or Indian entity depending on what suits you. If your own procurement needs another currency, say so in the enquiry and we will work with you on it. Do you work with AI? + Yes, as engineers rather than as a demo. The first question is whether AI is the right tool for the problem at all, and we will say no when it is not. When it is, we build agents that take real actions, or skills and plugins for whichever assistant your team already uses, and we wire them to your own systems. We also evaluate AI you have already built, because a system that works in a demo often degrades quietly on real input. Either way we measure whether it works, keep cost and latency under control, and stay comfortable integrating models where personal data is involved and privacy has to hold up. Who owns the code? + You do. The repository, the infrastructure, and the documentation are yours from the first commit, and handover is a planned step rather than something you have to negotiate for. Can you work with our existing team? + Yes. An embedded partnership puts a named engineer or designer alongside your team, in your standups, on your backlog. We are also comfortable saying when a project does not need us. Is JCovenant a Christian matrimony service? + Yes. JCovenant is built for Indian Christian singles and families seeking a serious marriage, welcoming Roman Catholic, Church of South India, Protestant, Orthodox, and other Christian traditions. It is our own product and doubles as a reference for how we work. NEXT ## Tell us what you are building. Six questions, and we reply within two working days.
