Six ways to engage Solyntra.
We help companies buy software delivery in the way that fits the work. Fixed-phase builds, embedded pods, named engineers, AI workflow delivery, ongoing support, or advisory reviews. Pick what matches how you need to buy, or talk to us and we'll recommend the shortest path.
| Engagement | Best for | Engagement model | Minimum commitment | Decision speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Custom Software Builds | Growing businesses building custom software they will own | Fixed-phase | Discovery first | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Engineering Pods | Software companies needing a functioning unit, not loose hires | Monthly retainer | 60-day notice | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Engineer Hire | Software companies needing extra senior hands | Hourly or monthly per engineer | 1 month | Days |
| AI Software & Agent Engineering | Software with AI features or agentic workflows built in | Fixed-phase or pod retainer | Discovery first | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Ongoing Services | Software already in production needing care | Monthly retainer | 90-day initial | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Architecture & Advisory Reviews | Buyers not yet ready for a build | Fixed-scope, 1 to 2 weeks | 1 week | Days |
What differs by who owns delivery
The supervision model behind each engagement shapes what is included and where the risk sits. Worth understanding before you choose, and worth raising on the discovery call where we walk through the right fit.
| Offer | Who owns delivery quality | What is inside the engagement |
|---|---|---|
| Engineer Hire | The client owns delivery. We provide a vetted engineer. | A named engineer integrated into your team. You run delivery. Closest to staff augmentation. |
| Engineering Pods | Solyntra owns quality and cadence inside the pod. | Internal QA, tech lead oversight, and weekly delivery reporting are built in. You get a functioning unit. |
| Custom Software Builds | Solyntra owns the scoped outcome and the go-live date. | Fixed scope per phase, defined deliverables, change orders for scope change. We carry delivery risk. |
| Ongoing Services | Solyntra owns the support and incremental delivery scope. | A named engineer or pod, monthly status, response-time SLA at higher tiers. |
| Architecture & Advisory Reviews | Solyntra owns the assessment and recommendation. | A written assessment and a working session. No ongoing commitment. |
Because each engagement includes different things and carries delivery risk differently, the right structure depends on what you are trying to ship. We will recommend the shortest path on the discovery call.

Brand or design work, marketing services, WordPress builds, mobile-only apps in isolation, crypto and Web3 work, foundation-model training, generic AI strategy consultancy, and pure recruitment.
