Clear Rules

Support Model & Retainer Parameters

We operate as a partner to your engineering managers. To protect quality, we run our monthly retainer under clear operational rules.

A critical incident is when your primary application is completely offline, users cannot log in, database writes are blocked, or there is an active security breach. For these incidents, we provide 24/7 response. Standard issues (e.g. configuring a new developer VPC, upgrading a staging container) are handled during standard business hours.

Each month, your retainer includes up to 15 hours of engineering work for tasks such as building Terraform modules, automating CI/CD scripts, or scaling storage blocks. Unused hours expire at the end of each billing cycle to ensure we can schedule team availability for active tasks.

Safeguarding systems requires consistent maintenance. The first 30 to 60 days are spent mapping configurations, configuring alerts, and deploying initial security patches. A three-month minimum ensures we have enough time to establish stability.

How We Onboard Your Systems

A structured, secure four-step onboarding process protects client credentials and limits service disruption risk.

01

Risk Audit First

We perform our initial configuration audit to catalog your networks and outline vulnerabilities under an NDA.

02

Service Sign-Off

We review findings, choose a custom monthly support tier, sign retainer contracts, and outline communication channels.

03

Credentials intake

We collect access credentials securely (via isolated vault shares), configure monitoring tools, and deploy alert systems.

04

Proactive Support

Our team takes over oversight, deploys standard patches, checks backup restoration, and sends monthly reviews.
