What we're hired to do

The AI work runs in two tracks — one for the people who own the codebase, one for the people who own the number. Underneath it sits the delivery work that has to be right anyway: mobile, backend and platform engineering. Every one of them starts with a written scope you approve before work begins.

For engineering leaders

CTO, VP Engineering, Head of Platform

AI-Native Engineering Transformation

Your team, rebuilt around AI — without a re-org or a rewrite.

90 days for the first team

Legacy Modernization

Move off the system nobody wants to touch — with the business rules proven, not guessed.

Archaeology in weeks; migration priced per slice

Vibe-Code Rescue

You shipped it fast. Now make it survive real users.

Audit in days, rescue in weeks

For business leaders

CEO, COO, Founder, GM

AI Product Development

Idea to production AI product — built by people who have to keep it running.

First production slice in weeks, not quarters

AI-Augmented Operations

Not a roadmap. A running system inside the workflow that is costing you money.

First workflow in production within a quarter

AI in Production

The part nobody sells you until it breaks.

Ongoing

Build & run

Mobile, backend and platform engineering. The part the AI work stands on.

Native & Cross-Platform Mobile

Flutter or native — decided on your constraints, not our preferences.

SwiftUI
Kotlin
Flutter
iOS
Android

First store build in weeks

Cloud-Native Backend

The unglamorous part, done properly — so it is still boring at ten times the load.

Node.js
Go
TypeScript
PostgreSQL
gRPC

First service in production in weeks

Platform, DevEx & DevOps

Make shipping boring — on AWS or GCP, with the bill attributed to someone.

AWS
GCP
Terraform
Kubernetes
GitHub Actions

Baseline in week one; first improvements in weeks

02Engagement

How we engage

Three shapes. Every one of them starts with a written scope you approve before work begins.

No hourly meter: Two of the three are fixed. The third is monthly and cancellable.
You own the output: Code, infrastructure, documentation and runbooks, at the end of every model.

Appine engagement models, what each commits you to, and what each is best suited for
Model	Commitment	What you get	Best for
Assessment	Two weeks, fixed fee	An audit, a risk register and an explicit recommendation	Deciding what to do before committing budget
Fixed-scope project	Signed SOW, defined deliverables	The scope as written, with no open hourly meter	A rescue, a migration slice, or a product phase
Embedded team	Monthly, cancel with notice	Senior engineers working inside your organisation	Engineering transformation and ongoing delivery

Delivered in your region.

$ appine assess --fixed-fee

Two weeks. Fixed fee. You end with a decision, not a deck.

If the answer is “don't hire us,” we'll write that down too.

What you walk away with

01A system and codebase audit
02A risk register, ranked by severity
03An engineering baseline to measure against
04An explicit recommendation — keep, harden, rebuild, or don't do it at all
