How long does a typical BOT engagement take?

Build takes 8–16 weeks, Operate runs for 3–12 months, and Transfer completes within 30 days. Exact timelines are confirmed after scoping.

Who owns the intellectual property?

You do. All IP — code, design, brand, accounts — is transferred to you at the end of the Transfer phase once fees are paid in full.

Can I exit the engagement early?

Yes. Exit terms are defined in the Master Services Agreement signed at kickoff. Completed work is delivered and outstanding milestones are settled pro-rata.

Build-Operate-Transfer

A real product, shipped in production, handed back to you.

BOT is how we work with founders who want to own their product but don't want to hire a team on day one. We do the building, the running, and the handover. You stay focused on your market.
