The build has outgrown the builder
The freelancer or agency who wrote it has moved on. The code still runs the business, and nobody wants to touch it.
Software partner
We take on the platform, the CRM or the app your business actually runs on, and we ship changes weekly instead of quarterly, using an AI assisted delivery pipeline with people reviewing every line.
The problem
The freelancer or agency who wrote it has moved on. The code still runs the business, and nobody wants to touch it.
Every request turns into a quote, a queue and a delay, so the obvious improvements never get made.
Fixes happen when something breaks. Dependencies age, access sprawls, and the risk sits quietly in the background.
You know it should change how this gets built and priced. What you have not seen is anyone show you exactly where.
Sound familiar?
Have a look at it with usWhat we do
One builds the thing. One keeps it healthy. Most clients start with the first and stay on the second.
New platforms, and serious change to platforms you already have. Scoped as individual cases so you can see and price every piece before it starts.
Priced per feature
The part most people skip. Someone owns your platform, watches it, patches it, and tells you plainly what changed.
Monthly retainer
How we build
This is the bit that makes us quicker than a traditional agency, and it is the same on every project. The order matters, so here it is in full.
Your request becomes a written case with acceptance criteria. If it is not clear enough to test, it is not clear enough to build.
An AI agent picks the case up, works in your repository, and raises a pull request against a protected branch.
A human engineer reviews the code and a tester drives the journey on a pre production environment before anything moves.
Cases promote as a set, on your say so, with a plain summary of what went live and what it cost.
Compare
A fair question, and the honest answer depends on what you need. Here is how the options tend to play out.
| Criterion | Draytus | Traditional dev agency | Freelance developer | In house hire |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed of a small change | Days, in the next release set | Quoted, queued, often weeks | Fast when free, stalled when not | Fast, once they are up to speed |
| Cost model | Fixed price per feature | Day rates and change control | Hourly, variable | Salary, benefits, tooling |
| Who reviews the work | Engineer review plus a QA pass, every case | Varies by team | Usually nobody | Nobody, if they are your only developer |
| Continuity | A team, plus written cases for every change | Good, while you are a live account | Ends when they move on | Ends when they leave |
| Ownership of the code | Yours, in your own repository and cloud | Sometimes theirs until final payment | Usually yours, rarely documented | Yours |

Ten questions about your platform, your team and your backlog, scored instantly, with a short written view on where the time and money are going. Free, no call needed, and it does the qualifying for us.
Questions
Judgement and accountability. The agent is fast and tireless, and it will happily build the wrong thing beautifully. We write the case, review the code, test the journey, decide what ships and carry the consequence if it breaks. You are paying for the part that cannot be automated.
Yes. Work happens in your repository and your cloud account wherever possible, from the first case. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, there is nothing to unpick and no licence to buy back.
Often, yes, and it is a good part of what we do. We start with a short read of the code and environments, tell you plainly what state it is in, and price the first set of changes from there.
Per feature, agreed before it starts, based on the value and the effort rather than a day rate. Small items are grouped into a single priced block so your finance team sees a clear addition for a clear reason.
Yes. We can take the backlog they never reach, run the release process, or handle care and security while they build new product. We are not trying to replace someone who is doing a good job.
A first case is usually written within a week of the intro call, and shipping follows once access and environments are in place. Taking over an existing platform takes a little longer, because we read before we write.
A thirty minute call, no deck. Tell us what is slow or fragile and we will tell you what we would do about it.
