Questions we get asked
Answered the way we'd answer them in the room. If yours is missing, bring it to the call.
Working with us
Who will we deal with day to day?
The senior engineer leading your project. They write code on it, and they're the person in your review meetings.
Do you work on site?
During the assay, yes, because it's faster to sit with the people who use the system. During the build we work remotely, with regular sessions together. Blueforge Digital LLC is registered in Sheridan, Wyoming.
Can you work with our in-house team?
Yes. We work in your repositories and follow your review and release process where you have one.
How big a project do you take on?
[Typical project size is confirmed before launch]. If yours is too small to need this level of rigour, we'll tell you.
Cost and contracts
How do you price?
The assay is fixed price. The build is quoted after the assay, against a scope and pass criteria we agree together. The engagements page explains each one.
What if the scope changes?
It will. Each change gets a short written note with its effect on cost and dates, and nothing starts until you've approved it.
Do you mark up cloud or licence costs?
No. They're billed to your own accounts.
Ownership and handover
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit, in your own repository.
What do we get at handover?
Source code, infrastructure scripts, architecture documents, runbooks, the decision log and every account, all in your name.
What if we want to move to another supplier?
You can. The documentation is written so a competent team can take over without calling us.
Security and AI
How do you handle access to our systems?
Named accounts, the least access the work needs, and everything revoked at the end. [Security certifications are listed here once confirmed].
Is our data used to train AI models?
Not by us. The vendor settings and contract terms that prevent it are checked in the assay and documented.
Do you sign NDAs and data processing agreements?
Yes, before we see anything sensitive.
Bring us the system you can't afford to get wrong.
30 minutes. Bring the problem, and we'll tell you whether we're the right shop for it.
