Engagement model 03
IT Staff Augmentation
Senior engineers plug into your existing team and your existing process, ramp in a fortnight, and scale up or down as the roadmap moves.
01 What you get
Engineers, inside your process
The lightest model we offer. You keep the process, the backlog and the decisions; we supply people who can already do the work.
Selection
Week 1
- Profiles matched to your stack within five days
- You interview; you decide
- No placement fee, and no charge before day one
- A replacement inside two weeks if the fit is wrong
Ramp-up
Week 2
- Onboarding into your repos and environments
- Your ceremonies, your tracker, your definition of done
- First pull request in the first fortnight
- A technical point of contact on our side, at no cost
Ongoing
Every month
- Engineers report to your leads, not to ours
- Overlap with your working hours, agreed up front
- Monthly check-in on performance and fit
- Scale up or down with two weeks' notice
We do not take the backlog, run your sprints, or own delivery in this model. If you need that, a dedicated team is the honest answer.
02 Commercials
Pay for the hands, nothing else
A rate per engineer, the shortest notice period we offer, and no fee for finding them.
- Term
- Rolling, one-month minimum The shortest commitment we offer.
- Billing
- Weekly or monthly, net 15 Time reported through your own tracker.
- Selection
- No placement fee Nothing is charged before an engineer starts.
- Who owns scope
- You do, entirely We supply capability, not delivery accountability.
- Ramp-up
- 2 weeks Billed in full, the ramp is short because your process is already there.
- Exit
- 2 weeks' notice Per engineer, so you can scale down without ending the engagement.
Rates assume your equipment, licences and environments. We supply people, not infrastructure.
03 Fit check
Right for you if…
This model works precisely to the degree your own engineering process already works.
Pick this when
- You have leads who can direct the work day to day.
- The process, the tracker and the standards already exist.
- You need capacity, not a second opinion on how to build.
- Hiring is slower than the roadmap can wait for.
Pick something else when
- There is nobody inside to review the work.
- You want someone accountable for the outcome, not the hours.
- The process is what is actually broken.
- You want a fixed price against a fixed scope.

I'm impressed by KoderTal's responsiveness and clean codebase.
KoderTal's efforts have yielded a production-ready SaaS platform for custom content generation. The team does excellent work and saves the client six months of development work. Moreover, KoderTal has delivered on time and suggested ideas beyond the scope to enhance UX and save time on development.

Staff Augmentation vs Outsourcing and Fixed Scope
The other three models, on the same questions.
| Fixed-Scope Delivery Most Chosen | Dedicated Remote Team | AI Consulting & Audit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | A defined product with a launch date | A long-running product with an evolving roadmap | Deciding where AI is worth it before you build |
| Term | 8 to 16 weeks, milestone-based | Rolling, three-month minimum | 3 to 6 weeks, fixed |
| Who owns scope | We do, fixed after discovery | You do, we advise | We do, agreed up front |
| Team | A full pod, staffed by us | Cross-functional pod plus a delivery lead | Principal consultant plus an ML engineer |
| Billing | Fixed price per milestone | Monthly, per seat | Fixed fee, two instalments |
| Ramp-up | 2 to 4 week discovery first | 3 to 4 weeks | Starts within 2 weeks |
| Exit | Documented handover at the final milestone | 30 days' notice | A costed roadmap, yours to keep |

07 Questions
Before you decide
Notice periods, ownership, and switching models later.
Yes, and most long-running clients do. A fixed-scope build that turns into an ongoing product usually becomes a dedicated team at handover, same people, new commercial terms. We re-paper the engagement; you do not re-onboard anyone.
You do, in every model, from the first commit. The repository is yours, hosted in your organisation where you want it there, and the licence transfer is in the contract rather than an invoice at the end.
Discovery exists to find that out before the price is fixed, which is why it is billed separately. If something material surfaces mid-build we price the change against the remaining milestones and you decide, we do not absorb it quietly, and we do not stop work while you think about it.
An audit or a two-week discovery is the usual way in. It is a fixed fee, it produces something you keep whatever you do next, and nothing about it obliges you to carry on with us.
Notice is two weeks for staff augmentation, thirty days for a dedicated team, and none for fixed scope work, which simply ends when the scope is delivered. Offboarding includes a handover of code, documentation and access, so nothing you rely on depends on a particular person still being reachable.
